 Next, you'll need iron for nails. For this step it really helps to team up with other players or to use supplies and workstations near the starter town. If you are far from the starter town, you'll be fine, it will just take longer. You'll learn some new skills along the way.
-The first step is finding iron. For this, you need a mine or at least some rock tiles. You can right-click and select ''rummage'' on rock tiles to get [[iron rock]]s or if you want to start making a mine on your new property (or exploring an existing mine), go to the [[mining]] page for greater detail on how to open a mine and prospect for ore. Rummaging is the easiest way to start and should yield enough ore for a few nails and basic items.
+The first step is finding iron. For this, you need a mine or some of the relevant [[Resource nodes]]. If you want to start making a mine on your new property (or exploring an existing mine), go to the [[mining]] page for greater detail on how to open a mine and prospect for ore. [[Foraging]] at [[Mineral debris]], [[Rubble]], [[Bog muck]] or [[Lichen]] [[Resource nodes]] is the easiest way to start and should yield enough ore for a few nails and basic items.
 ====Smelting your iron====
 Once you have a decent amount of iron rocks (10 or so) or iron ore, you'll need to smelt them. Activate your carving knife and pick up some of those wood scraps you kept. Right-click on the wood scraps and select ''Create > [[Kindling]]''. Once you have a few pieces of kindling, activate your [[steel and flint]]. Right-click on your kindling and select ''Create > [[Campfire]]''. This may take a few tries. Once you've created a campfire, put your iron rocks/ore AND a good handful of woodscrap into the campfire. '''You need to make sure the campfire stays lit, so add those woodscraps occasionally.''' Once the campfire gets hot enough, your iron rocks or ore will turn into 0.8 kg or 1kg [[iron lump]]s. You'll need 4-5 kg of iron to start, so make as much as you can to start.

 You now have your first newbie house! You're (fairly) safe from trolls and your have a place to put your bed and log out for the night. Congratulations! Now you can work on more skills to build a bigger house or a house from stone or other more difficult materials. You could skill up [[fine carpentry]] and [[cloth tailoring]] to make some beautiful furniture and decorations. You could start a farm or ranch (build those [[fence]]s! Wurm is an sandbox, so your next step is up to you.

 ====Nails====
-You'll need one [[large nail]] per wall of your house, so 4 for a 1x1 house. Activate your iron lump, right-click your small anvil and select ''Create > Construction materials > Large nails''. Repeat this for each large nail you need. If you will be adding a wooden roof or wooden floor to your 1 x 1 house, you'll need 3 [[small nail]]s in total. The process is the same, though you select ''Create > Construction materials > Small nails''. You only need to add a roof, but a floor can be nice to have.

-A [[small anvil]] is an important tool for smithing in Wurm. While still glowing hot, activate one iron lump and right - click on another iron lump in your inventory (not in the campfire). Select ''Combine''.  You may need to combine several lumps, until you get a lump larger than 2kg (You can combine up to 64kg of iron!).

 ====Door lock====
-You'll need one door lock per outside door to make sure your house is secure. You can read up on locks and permissions in the [[permissions|Permissions#Doors]] article. Stealing is illegal on PVE servers, but you'll want your house to stay safe from invading humanoid mobs and nosy neighbors anyway. Activate your iron lump and right - click your small anvil. Select ''Create > Locks > Door lock. These are fairly hard to create at low skill and may take several tries. Don't ignore this step though, as locks are very important.

-Pick up a log. Activate your newbie saw. Right-click on that log and select ''Create > Construction material > Plank. You'll need 20 planks per wall, so 80 planks for a 1x1 house. This will take a while and a lot of logs, but as your carpentry skill increases, you'll get faster. You'll end up with a lot of wood scraps in your inventory. You can drop these on the ground, but keep them nearby as you'll need them soon.
