New kind of clay, called "rehydrated clay" which you put in the crafting grid with either red or blue clay in 1:1 ratio to get 2 of that color clay. Rehydrated clay can also be used on it's own.

Pretty simple. 1. Pulverize claystone stones into gravel 2. Grind gravel into sand. 3. Put claystone sand through a sieve to get purified claystone sand. Sieve has durability and is made with sticks and linen cloth 4. Put purified claystone sand inside a barrel with water for a few weeks, and you get clay.

Yes. Worldgen can get a lil quirky sometimes with mountains.

I think Dave is a fusion of the great machine Jonas was working on and Jonas himself. Unless the devs are cooking up a reveal of seraphim Jonas at some point, I have a feeling Jonas is going to be revealed as some eldritch rust boss as the "harbinger" of the rust, like how he brought Prima Materia to earth.

They seem to take the same amount of time regardless of what tool I use

yeah, I can see that. Maybe 1 gear = 4 windpower? Im thinking like 25 gears would be equal to a 100% strong breeze, so it's a middle/long term goal of collecting all the gears needed

First playthrough, set my base down at spawn next to the trader's hut, couldn't figure out why I kept going crazy every fifteen minutes becuase i was a dumdum who didn't understand the gear spinning counterclockwise was bad thing. Apparently, world spawn can be in a temporally unstable surface area.

In the lore and gameplay, temporal gears are constantly turning. If so, we should be able to create a contraption that harnesses this endless spinning in place of eradicating the local animal population so you can thread 5 miles of wooden axels down into your cellar for your grindstone. For balance, the gears should be unreclaimable / have a system like bloomeries where trying to remove them gives you a chance of destroying them. Thoughts?

Say that to the 60+ 50L barrels of berry wine in my basement with years until they expire. It's purpose is to stretch the shelf life of berries to hold you over for winter if you are stuck in an area with only low fertility soil.
