== Description ==
Clay is a sticky and soft resource found in [[clay tile]]s that can be easily formed into [[pottery]] items like [[clay bowl]]s or [[clay jar]]s. [[Masonry|Masons]] also make use of clay as a bonding material for the [[stone brick]]s used in [[guard tower]]s and [[stone forge]]s, or to mix the better bonding material [[mortar]] to build [[stone house]]s, for example.
 
  
Clay, once [[digging|dug]] up, has a high decay speed and is pointless to store for more than a few days. [[Clay tile]]s can not be lowered, only risen, so drop [[dirt]] or [[sand]] with care.
