== That Clay Thing ==
=== Digging ===
Once you've learned how to forage for yourself, the next step you should take is to learn how to work with clay. You will need to a shovel to perform this task, and you start off with one, so don't drop it!
<i/><b/>Note</b/>: There are clay tiles just west of NewTown, and also a larger deposit further south along the east bank.</i/>
Once you have found a tile of clay, double-click a shovel in your inventory (you can open this with the F3 key) to activate it, and right click the clay tile. You should see a new option named Dig; click it. If you've started to dig, you're on the right path, but if it states that you're on too steep a slope to dig, simply move to another position and retry.

If you've done everything correctly and successfully completed digging, you should now see an item in your inventory called "clay". Activate either of your hands under the Body section of your inventory (remember, double-click to activate) and right-click a piece of clay. You should notice a sub-menu called "Create". Hover over this menu and a list of things you can make with the clay using your hand will appear. Currently you may only create a flask, jar, or bowl.
Once you finish creating your clay item(s), you may notice that you can't really do anything with them/it. Clay items are raw and need to be hardened by fire, which brings us to our next section...
