Caves and village progress
Clay and Flint
Clay and Flint support early crafting and village progression, with accessible sources that can change as cave routes open.
WHERE & HOW TO FARM
Clay and Flint
Surface deposits around the valley and accessible early Cave chambers, depending on the material and current route access.
Before you go
- Inventory space for the target material.
- The tool indicated for the visible resource node.
- Cave entrance access for underground deposits.
- A current recipe, idea, or request to guide how much to collect.
Farming steps
- Check which material your craft or village request needs: Clay or Flint.
- Walk accessible surface paths near the village and inspect visible resource nodes.
- Use the appropriate tool on a node that matches the named material and collect it.
- If Flint is still needed, inspect early Cave chambers as routes become accessible.
- Gather exposed deposits with the suited tool and note where the resource appears.
- Return to the village and store the material for the active idea or recipe.
- Repeat a surface or cave pass if you still need additional material.
- Match the node to the requested material before spending time gathering; similar-looking resources can serve different purposes.
- Keep Obsidian separate from Flint in your plan: it is a deeper cave resource with a different access and tool requirement.
Repeat, collect and use
Gathering available nodes can be repeated as you revisit accessible areas. Deeper cave access depends on progression; no specific node respawn rate is assumed.
Common mistakes
- Searching only caves for surface material: check nearby valley paths too.
- Confusing Flint with Obsidian: use the material name and cave depth to guide the search.
- Using an unsuitable tool: inspect the node and bring the required tool.
When to stop or switch
Stop once you have enough for the current recipe or request; move on to the next needed material rather than gathering without a use.
