Players appear in the world at the "spawn location". 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.

=== Stone tools === <!--T:7-->

Find flint or loose stones (basalt, granite, andesite, obsidian or peridotite). <code>Sneak + Right click</code> on solid ground to create a [[knapping]] surface. Choose the tool to create from the menu. ''We recommend an [[Axe]] and a [[Knife]].'' 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. Sticks can be collected from the ground or by breaking leafy branches using <code>left click</code>.

Players have 3 types of slots

* The left hand slot can hold passive items such as torches

* 10 hand slots  

* 4 container slots that allow players to expand inventory.

To begin expanding player inventory, crafting [[Containers#Portable_Containers|hand baskets]] is the first option. Harvest [[Cooper's_Reed_(Cattail)|reeds]], which can usually be found near lakes. Press <code>H</code> and search for basket to see the grid crafting recipe.

* [[Wild_Foods#Mushrooms|Mushrooms]] can be harvested with a [[knife]] or empty hands. Harvesting the tops with a knife will allow the mushrooms to regrow over time.

[[File:Claydeposits.png|300px|right|Find clay and take it with you or mark it on the map.]]

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.

* Dry grass: <code>left click</code> with a knife in hand to gather tall grass

* Firewood: <code>left click</code> with an axe in hand to cut [[trees]] and harvest logs. Place the axe and logs in the crafting grid to create firewood.

* 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.
