Clay forming is a crafting method that allows the player to place tiny cubes (voxels) of clay in layers that form a shaped container, which is then fired or "burned" in a [[Firepit|firepit]] to finish the item. The forming mechanic is similar to knapping stone tools, where voxels must be added or removed to create the desired object. | Clay forming is a crafting method that allows the player to place tiny cubes (voxels) of clay in layers that form a shaped container, which is then fired or "burned" in a [[Firepit|firepit]] to finish the item.

# Select clay in the active hand. | |||
# Aim the white crosshairs on a solid surface and Sneak + Right Mouse Button to open the clay forming menu and select the item to be crafted. | |||
# The clay forming grid will appear on the selected surface. To craft the chosen mold or item, the 'green' colored voxels must be filled using (right mouse button to add) and clay removed from any 'orange' colored voxels using (left mouse button to remove) to create each layer of the form. As each layer of the clay item is completed, the next layer will appear above the last. It's helpful to sit on the ground (press 'G') while shaping clay. | |||
# When all layers of the item or mold are completed, the dialog box will disappear and the formed items will jump into the inventory of the player who placed or removed the last voxel of clay. Formed items can be placed on a surface before firing and picked up by "breaking" the item (left mouse button). Breaking will not destroy an item. | |||

To change the number of clay voxels added or removed (1x1, 2x2 and 3x3), press F and select the 'brush size' as indicated by the first three menu options. The last tool menu option,'Copy' allows a player to duplicate identical layers of clay voxels. When this menu option is selected, pressing the right mouse button adds a "layer" of clay matching the pattern of voxels directly underneath the current layer "under construction". | To change the number of clay voxels added or removed (1x1, 2x2 and 3x3), press F and select the 'brush size' as indicated by the first three menu options.

Once the form is complete, the clay item must be baked in a firepit. ''Note: pottery items do not need to be placed in containers to complete this process.'' Place the raw clay item into the top left slot of the firepit, and add fuel to the bottom slot. The fuel selected to fire (burn) blue clay items must reach and maintain the firing temperature of 700 C until the process is completed. When fired, the finished item will transfer to the right side (output) of the firepit. Most clay items do not stack, so a finished "burned" item must be removed from the output slot of the firepit before a new clay item or mold is placed into the input slot. Finished items appear dark brown in color and have "burned" added to their name. | Once the form is complete, the clay item must be baked in a firepit.
