• C for Coordinates
• Shift to sneak
• L-Ctrl to run
• T to open the chat dialog
• Left Mouse break stuff

Basic Tools

• Find some loose stones and break some branchy leaves. Those 2 ingredients will let you make a stone axe, a stone shovel, a stone pickaxe and a stone hoe
• A Flint and a stick let's you craft a knife that let's you harvest dry grass from tallgrass. Flint can be occassionally found amon

Food

• Most importantly you will probably want to explore wide and far for crops and berry bushes to secure your food situation.
  • Crops can be planted on any soil after tilling it with a hoe, but grows best on high fertility soil. Crops also require a nearby water source.
  • Ripe Berry Bushes can be harvested and afterwards broken+replanted anywhere else. After a while they will start to bloom again.

Inventory Space

• Once you have a basic farm set up, you could go ahead and increase your inventory space
  • Reeds can be crafting into baskets that have 2 slots each. Place it into one of the 4 bottom-right slots
  • If you've found Flax, you can work towards Line Sacks, which have 4 slots. It requires a lot of fibers though.

Entering the Copper Age

1. Collect some dry grass, clay, some logs, lignite or bituminous coal and native copper

• Clay is found in most areas that are not too dry
• Native copper and coal/lignite can be found in caves
• Dry Grass is made by breaking tall grass with a knife

2. Make a crucible and some ingot molds

• Use the clay to craft a crucible as well as a couple of molds

3. Make a fire pit

• Put an axe and log in your crafting window to acquire at least 4 firewood
• Put dry grass in your active hand, then right click on the ground, now add firewood with the same method

4. Bake the crucible and molds

• Put your raw clay crafts on the top left slot of the firepit, add more fuel to the bottom slot if required
• Place your baked molds on the ground via Shift+Right click

5. Smelt ores

• Once the crucible is baked, move back from the right slot to the left slow. This will extend the firepit dialog by 4 additional slots
• These 4 slots can now hold your ores for smelting and alloying. Put it your native copper and wait.

6. Pour your molten mix into the molds

• Once the molten metal has cooled to 300 degrees you can take out the ingots and craft better tools.
