OK well had taken a break for a few days but decided to come back to it for a bit... did a bunch of exploring from my horrid "dirt box" home, started getting together stuff for some basic wood lamellar armor, and on the way back was looking at the ground and just "huh, this ground looks wie-OH MY GOD CLAY!" Looks like a fair sized deposit of red clay and I was just... so happy. Am making the start of a charcoal pit and other preparations. Yeah... yeah OK I think this game might be for me.

Ohhh, that I didn't know you could do... yeah OK that does open up usable areas a lot more.

Been poking around a couple of times... there's a lot that I really love about this, even at my first steps. Even tried out with some of the ground instability settings, wow THAT makes you stay on your toes, hearing the ground start to crumble underneath you and sprinting/jumping away frantically only to look back at the massive cave crawling with rust monsters you almost fell into is CERTAINLY an experience, even listening to the heavy breathing sounds of your character... me too little guy, me too. The frustration I'm having is clay... I know just enough about the game to know clay is super important... i just.. I can't find it, even spending days ranging around in wet lowlands and peat bogs... I can find practically everything for the early game... except clay. Am I over-thinking needing to find Clay before starting to settle down? Or is it one of those things you just kinda need to keep looking until you find some?

Also decided to take the plunge after watching Hazzor's video... 2nd one I've seen about this game and definitely piqued my curiosity.
