Foraging for tool making materials, foods, and other resources is important in the early stages of the game. Most gathering does not require any specialized tools, or can be accomplished using stone tools included in the starter guide: [[axe]], [[knife]] and [[spear]]. The uses for items provided in this guide are not "all encompassing" but are targeted towards "early game" necessities and can be used in conjunction with the Starter Guide.

Clay, metals nuggets, and saplings should be left where you find them but noted in your map so you can get them later. (Plant the saplings to get them out of your inventory)

[[File:Log-oak.png|50px]] To collect logs, fell a tree using an [[axe]], chop the base log. Logs can be converted to [[firewood]] and used for other early crafting needs including a pan used in [[panning]] and the primitive weapon, [[club]]. A few sticks might be dropped, but not many. Firewood is an important resource to make a [[firepit]] for cooking foraged foods, and creating torches.

Any animal can be killed and butchered for meat using a [[knife]]. {{SneakClick|Use}} a [[knife]] in the active hand to harvest animal products. When the butchering process is complete, a small window will open that contains all the animal products for collection. Hunting wild animals in the winter can be a useful way to maintain [[satiety]] when food storage is otherwise low.
