Ariella's Setting Up Your Homestead
Setting Out Your Camp and Building a Compound
- Step 1 - Make Camp
You may reposition your camp about 3-4 coords, up to 3 times.
- Step 2 - Build Your Compound (100 Boards + 200 Bricks) Don't forget you can Take materials from your camp!
You will not be able to expand your compound where your door is so face the direction you want your door to face.
- Step 3 - Build Your Crafting Bench by raising your Carpentry Skill.
Click on the upper left Skills icon. Make boards to raise the Carpentry Skill.
You'll need to build a Wood Plane (1 Slate Blade + 4 Slate) from Self/Projects/Carpentry.../Wood Plane.
Hold on, we need to also Self/Skills/Knap a Slate Blade. So find a shore and run to find more Slate. Slate can appear where the Mud icon lights up.
You need to click Build on the icon with all the arrows in the upper left.
Picking Wood from Trees. An explanation of Oasis is needed here.
An Oasis in this game can be 1 - 12 flora (trees, plants, thorns) in a group.
In the pic below there is an Oasis of 4 trees and several plants.
Each Oasis group has a chance of spawning an herb.
The pic below says the Bottle Tree will give you 4 Wood. But why do you get 16 Wood when you click Gather?
If you check out the Trees wiki page you will see that some trees produce more wood.
As of Tale 9, instead of Gathering from each tree separately, you gather from ALL the trees in the oasis group at once.
2 Bottle Trees of 4 Wood each + Autumn Bloodbark Sapling of 1 Wood + Feather Tree of 1 Wood = 16 Wood.
Plane ?? Boards to raise your Carpentry Skill each level.
