the clay kiln
craft
Fired clay instead of wet mud — pots that hold food and bricks that hold a wall up.
Goal: Turn river mud into something that lasts.
Costs: 4 wood, 4 stone, 5 clay
Unlocks: Clay becomes a real building material for the heavier structures.
Tools they need first
- clay mould
Shapes bricks all the same size, so a wall stacks straight instead of leaning.
- stone pick
Breaks rock faces and frees ore from the seam. Without it, metal stays underground.
