Clay is a sticky and soft resource found in [[clay tile]]s that can be easily formed into [[pottery]] items like [[clay bowl]]s, [[clay flask]]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. It can however be kept in a [[bulk storage bin]].

Clay can be obtained by digging on a [[clay tile]] or [[forage]]d from [[Mineral debris]].
  
[[Clay tile]]s can be raised by dropping [[dirt]] or [[sand]]. They can be lowered with the [[level]] command if all corners are higher or level to an adjacent flat tile and your [[digging]] skill is at least 70.

To transport a large quantity of clay, you will probably have to combine it.  Even a [[small cart]] will likely hold more than 100 2kg lumps of clay.  If you do so, be aware of the following:
