Torches are created by putting sticks in the [[firepit]], but torches placed on solid blocks burn out after 3 days. More permanent light sources include oil lamps and lanterns. For a list of available lights, see the main article on [[Light sources]].

Different storage options have different requirements. They are also best suited for different tasks - for instance, while the clay storage vessel is a good early game miscellaneous storage, it is best suited for food storage in a [[cellar]], due to it's inherently better spoilage rate.

Once these items are assembled, metal tools can be crafted by [[casting]] using the [[crucible]]. Detailed instructions can be found on the [[casting]] page. Briefly, placing the crucible into the firepit will open 4 slots where nuggets can be added. When heated with a high temperature [[fuel]], the copper will melt and the crucible will transfer to the output slot. Remove the crucible and hold <code>right mouse button</code> to pour metal into a prepared tool mold. When the metal drops below 200 degrees, the tool head can be removed from the mold.

As soon as the player acquired a pickaxe and hammer, return to the spots were nuggets were previously found on the surface. The player can dig down under these spots to find shallow native copper veins. They are not as large as their underground counterparts, but will give enough copper to start into the further metal ages. The pickaxe is necessary to dig stone and the ore once found - the hammer is required to break the ore chunks into usable nuggets.

If a mistake is made, Copper and Bronze work items can be smelted into an ingot, but Iron work items must be re-smelted in a bloomery.

The only method to smelt iron ore and quartz (to make glass) is to use a [[bloomery]]. Bloomeries reach temperatures higher than a [[firepit]] and can be used to smelt any ore, but cost significant quantities of fuel. The [[iron bloom]], harvested from the bloomery, must be worked on the anvil to yield iron ingots, which can then be used to smith tools. This is a rather tedious process but this task can be mechanized using the helve hammer.

===Steel Age===
Steel tools again provide a significant boost in strength and durability, however they are hard to come by and require a lot of preparation.
* Build a [[Steel Making|refractory furnace]]
* Prepare plenty of charcoal or [[coke]] as well as iron ingots
* Carbonize the iron ingots with charcoal in the refractory furnace and process the resulting blister steel ingots either by hand or with a helve hammer into steel
Keep in mind that blister steel and steel can only be worked on an iron [[anvil]], which cannot be cast but instead has to be smithed and welded.
==Woodworking==
To be able to craft advanced wooden items like a door or buckets and barrels, the player first needs to acquire a [[saw]]. This tool can only be crafted by smithing, and is thus gated behind both the metal ages, as well as finding enough of the chosen ore to cast your first [[anvil]].
==Leather Working==
Unlike the simple oiled pelts required for a [[hunter's backpack]], the leather necessary for advanced armour and a proper backpack is harder to get. To craft usable leather, the player first needs to find [[limestone]], [[chalk]] stone or borax ore, as well as oak logs. Leather making is further gated behind the possession of a [[saw]], since at least one bucket and several barrels are required.
For an in-depth look into leather making, check the [[Leather Working]] guide.
