Mining
Getting Started with Mining
Required Items:
To begin mining, you will need a few essential items:
-
Pickaxe – Found around the map primarily in sheds!
-
Anvil Kit, Furnace Kit, and Grinding Stone Kit – Available for purchase at the Mining Trader, located in the side shed of the red warehouse at the mine.
Once acquired, you will need to place these kits in your base before you can start processing materials.
Mining & Equipment Maintenance
At the mine, you will find various ore and gem nodes scattered throughout. However, not all gems are found at the mine—some can be discovered in different locations across the map.
Be sure to monitor your pickaxe's durability, as it will wear down with use. To restore its durability, use a Sharpening Stone.
Smelting Ores, Crafting Ingots, & Refining Gems
Smelting:
Once you have at least four ores, take them to the smelter. Place one ore in each of the four slots to begin smelting. To start the smelter, look at the bottom of the unit—there will be a pop-up prompt that says "Switch On".
Ingots:
-
When the smelting process is complete, take the nuggets to the anvil. Hold the nuggets in your hands and interact with the anvil to craft them into ingots.
-
In order to craft an ingot, you will require 10 nuggets (10 ores). The above mentioned number is simply the minimum amount needed for the smelter to function.
​
Gems:
In order to refine a gem put the gem into your hands, look at the grinding stone, and grind it.
