Clay is a required resource to progress through the ages, and in early game it can be used to build comparatively cheap stationary storage options and your first means to preserve food for a bit longer. It is also required to craft a cooking pot, which is necessary for advances cooking. | |||

It will not protect your head or legs, but is better than nothing. Once more established in the world of Vintage Story, more advanced types of [[armor]] can be crafted. | [[File:Armor-body-improvised-wood.png|60px|left|text-top]] Improvised armor can be crafted from dry [[grass]] and [[firewood]] for some very basic protection.

=== Shelter === <!--T:33--> | === Shelter === <!--T:33--> | ||
Once the sun sets, a player might also like a shelter. There are different blocks that you can use to make a shelter using the early resources you have available. [[Dry Grass|Dry grass]] can be used to make a [[Bed|bed]] early on, or form hay blocks/cob for early building blocks. [[Soil Blocks|Soil]] is also a good building material, and can be used to form Mud Bricks. | Once the sun sets, a player might also like a shelter.

===Stationary Storage=== | |||
For more storage, the player can craft two early game [[containers]]. | |||
* The [[basket]] has 8 slots for items, however it requires 24 cattails and should not be used to store food if possible. | |||
* The clay [[Containers#Food Storage Containers|storage vessel]] has 12 slots, requires clay to craft and has the best spoilage rates in the game, which makes it suitable for food storage. | |||
== [[Temperature]] == | |||
The player's body temperature needs to be kept around 37°C. Prolonged times with body temperature under this mark will result in freezing animations and even damage taken. Beware that dipping in water or being out in the rain will make your temperature drop faster. | |||
Standing near a lit campfire can warm the player up and the body temperature will stay up a while even after stepping away. | |||
