About

Rather than being round as it's icon suggests, a Clay Trough icon.png Clay Trough is long and rectangular.

How to Make Clay

  1. Fill a Vessel with Potable Water icon.png Potable Water.
  2. Select a Lime and right-click it on your Vessel of Potable Water to make Milk of Lime icon.png Milk of Lime.
  3. Select your Milk of Lime and right-click it on your Clay Trough icon.png Clay Trough. A Clay Trough can hold 10x Bucket icon.png Buckets (100 Liters) of Milk of Lime.
  4. With Any Shovel icon.png Any Shovel equipped, Dig icon.png Dig the ground to get Dirt icon.png Dirt, which you will hold over your head. You can carry up to 15x clumps of Dirt.
  5. With the Dirt over your head right-click the Clay Trough to dump in the Dirt. This will produce 1x Clay icon.png Clay for each clump of Dirt you drop in. Each clump of Dirt will consume .5 Liters of Milk of Lime, so a full Clay Trough can produce 200x Clay before needing to be re-filled.

Building Structures

Selecting a structure from the build menu or its sub-menus will place a Building Blueprint Sign at the position of the cursor and then clicking a valid building location on the ground will place the sign and open a window prompting the player to deposit the necessary materials and build the structure.

Each material is followed by a series of three numbers.

  • The first indicates how many of that resource are needed but have not been deposited.
  • The second number indicates how many of that resource have been deposited but have not been built into the structure.
  • The third number indicates how many of that resource have been built into the structure.

Players can take their time building structures by depositing and committing resources to the build sign by clicking the "build" button. The character will build as much of the structure as they can with the available resources. They can return with more resources in the future.

Note that if no resources are deposited, the build sign will disappear when the player walks away. If resources are deposited, but the player hasn't built them into the structure, the uncommitted resources will slowly disappear over time. This is to combat players using build signs as cheap and overpowered storage containers they can deposit and retrieve resources from.
