If not on the toolbelt, you can activate a tool (or any item in your inventory) by double clicking on it. Once highlighted (in green text) it can be used on a workpiece/material (such as using a [[Carving knife]] on [[wood scraps]] of at least wt2.00 to get [[kindling]]). Items can also be activated the same way (see Storing Water below).
After activating a tool, you can use it on up to 3 multiple items at a time, by:
* using it on a stack of items (that are material for the action)
*using it on a highlighted group of items (that are material for the action)
Example:
Shift select a second log (under the first, or the one after that, so two or three are selected)
Right click on the selection, choose "plank"
How many items will be affected depends on your [[Mind logic]] skill. You start with 3 items and can work on 1 more item for each 10 Mind logic skill you gain.
