Complete Starbound Part 3 walkthrough, including cooking alien meat, crafting a furnace, and finding iron ore.
Walkthrough
- 1Craft a Hunting Bow using 1 Plant Fibre and 10 Unrefined Wood.
- 2Craft a Camp Fire using 1 Torch and 5 Unrefined Wood.
- 3Explore near cave entrances to find Plant Fibre. Harvest it by clicking and holding with your Matter Manipulator on the reed connecting to the ceiling.
- 4Once you have Plant Fibre, craft the Hunting Bow.
- 5Hunt a monster using only your Hunting Bow, ensuring all damage comes from arrows.
- 6Collect the Raw Alien Meat dropped by the monster.
- 7Place your Camp Fire (preferably on your ship) and use it to cook the Raw Alien Meat.
- 8Collect the Cooked Alien Meat from the campfire.
- 9Craft a Stone Furnace using a Camp Fire and 25 Cobblestone at your Wooden Crafting Table.
- 10To make crafting easier, craft a Stone Pickaxe first using 10 Cobblestone and 25 Wood Planks. Harvest Cobblestone by using your Matter Manipulator or Stone Pickaxe on grey stone.
- 11Gather 25 Cobblestone and craft the Stone Furnace.
- 12Find 2x Iron Ore. It appears as grey/dark grey ore with small orange specks. It is found in the ground, either on the surface or in caves. You will also need Coal, a black ore found underground.
- 13Harvest the Iron Ore using your Pickaxe.
- 14Smelt the 2x Iron Ore in your Stone Furnace to obtain an Iron Bar.
- 15Craft a Distress Beacon.
Tips
- It is recommended to gather at least 16 Iron Ore to smelt into 8 Iron Bars for crafting an Anvil later.
- Use the Stone Pickaxe for all subsequent mining and harvesting as it is much faster than the Matter Manipulator.
- Place your Camp Fire and Stone Furnace on your ship as they will not burn out there.
