Crafting Mechanic: Knapping

Knapping
Can't wait to get your hands on those essential stone age tools? Then keep on reading!

'Knapping' means chipping away at raw stones until they are in the shape of a tool head. To begin knapping, first collect 2 stones: either flints or loose stones of a hard type of stone (e.g. granite). With a stone or flint in your active hand slot, look at the ground and hold shift + rightmouse (once for flint, or twice for any other stone) to place the stone to create a knapping surface. Some recipes are shown, click for the type of stone tool head you want to create. The shape will then be marked out on the knapping surface. With another stone in hand, use the leftmouse button to remove all the parts highlighted in orange, to form the chosen tool head.

Tips: To see which stones are hard enough to make tools, check the tooltip in the inventory. Loose stones on the ground can be immediately used for knapping instead of picking them up, if you have another stone in-hand and use shift + rightmouse. To save time, not all orange voxels need to be removed, only those directly touching the tool head. Now that you have made a tool head, you'll need to add a handle to it to create your first tool!
