  • Iron Ore: Also found in caves, crucial for metal tools and weapons.
  • Plant Fiber: For Straw Mats and other basic furnishings.

Important Rooms to Build:

  • Basic Workshop: Requires a Workbench, Chest, and a light source. Unlocks many essential crafting recipes.
  • Cantlin's Kitchen: Requires a Bonfire, Chest, and a light source. Allows you to cook more nutritious food.

Explore the areas accessible via the first Teleportal. You'll encounter stronger monsters and find new resource veins. Remember to always bring food and healing items. When you return to base, deposit excess materials in chests to keep your inventory clear. Regularly check your base level and build new rooms to attract more villagers and unlock new quests.
