If a player dies in the game, the player will reappear (respawn) at the initial spawn location until the player spawn point is reset (a way to reset player's spawn location can be found later in the game.) It's a good idea to set a marker for this spawn point when a player first appears in the world. Either right mouse click on the world map or through the command <code>/waypoint add [waypointcolor] [title]</code>. This command adds a waypoint with given color (any .NET Color or a Hex Code) and text. | ||

# Find '''Flint''' or '''Loose Stones''' (basalt, granite, andesite, obsidian or peridotite). | |||
# <code>Sneak + Right click</code> on solid ground to create a [[knapping]] surface. (Only Flint will immediately create a [[knapping]] surface. In order to use the other loose stones, you need to place it once, then <code>Sneak + Right click</code> again with another loose stone. | |||
Find | # Choose the tool to create from the menu. [[Axe]] and a [[Knife]] are highly recommended as first tools. | ||
# Using a stone in the active hand, <code>left click</code> on the orange boxes to remove them from the stone and shape the finished blade or tool head. When the last orange box is removed, the completed tool head will transfer to the player's hotbar. | |||
# Press E to open the inventory GUI and access the crafting grid. In the grid, combine the stone tool blade with a stick (handle) to create the finished tool. | |||
:'''''Note''': Sticks can be collected from the ground or by breaking leafy branches using <code>left click</code>.'' | |||

The crafting grid can be found [[Containers#Portable_Containers|here]] or by pressing <code>H</code> and searching for ''basket'' to see its grid crafting recipe. | |||

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. | |||
Detailed information can be found in the [[Clay Forming]] page. | |||

* [[basket|Baskets]] have 8 slots for items, however they require a total of 24 cattails and shouldn't be used to store food if possible. | |||

* [[boards|Chests]] have 16 slots, but require [[boards]], which also require access to [[smithing]]. | |||

== Temperature == <!--T:39--> | |||
:''See [[Temperature| Temperature's main article]] for detailed information''. | |||
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. | |||
