OK tried it just now with the flint in my hand while knapping a spearhead and it works! Thanks for the tips and please give more if anyone has them. Right now on single player mode I am using a traders hut as a temporary base. Seems easier than trying to build something to start. I did read as long as you have a wall 2 high around you (dirt or cobble etc.) no monsters can get you but you have to jump up blocks to get in our out. Would be nice to have an easier type door to make, like a straw or reed door. Then get fancy later on when I am making tools etc.

Yes it is right when I break that first voxel. Then it freezes and have to close the program. I will try holding flint in my hand while knapping and see if it works. Thanks for the tip!

OK I am not really sure what you meant by knapping a placed surface or knapping with matching stones. I am knapping flint into a spearhead on the ground and I get frozen. I knapp any flint on the ground and I freeze up. How do I avoid this?

I just downloaded it again today and for some reason it installed fine. Will try playing after classes tonight and update if problems with knapping still exist.

Sure. Ty for the info. Still doing it BTW.

Tried installing the new update 1.9.3 and keep getting multiple errors. During the install I will get a message that states the specific file is corrupted. If I ignore it I immediately get another error that another file is corrupted. Tried downloading multiple times and the same thing happens.

Still having an issue when knapping flint. The game won't crash but it freezes and then Windows gives two options: close program or wait for it to respond. Never works when you wait so I have to close program. I can place the flint down, but when I go to start knapping, then it freezes up. I am looking into where I can successfully knap if I don't have one of the current tool I am trying to replace. It is an issue and it will not send a crash report since technically it isn't crashing, just not responding. Anyone else have this issue?

Thanks so much. this is a huge help as it explains a sort of...how to stay safe....until I can make more stuff!

I was wondering if there is some place other than the wiki that has a more detailed explanation on surviving your first couple of days. I can't seem to build anything without some extensive tools (can't even make planks without a saw) to make a door or build walls to make a hut or shack to keep the monsters at bay. Any tips for a first time player or places to visit that explain things a bit better?
