→Supplies - Iron: rummaging replaced y foraging
Next, you'll need iron for nails. For this step it really helps to team up with other players or to use supplies and workstations near the starter town. If you are far from the starter town, you'll be fine, it will just take longer. You'll learn some new skills along the way.
The first step is finding iron. For this, you need a mine or at least some rock tiles. You can right-click and select ''rummage'' on rock tiles to get of the relevant [[iron rockResource nodes]]s or if . If you want to start making a mine on your new property (or exploring an existing mine), go to the [[mining]] page for greater detail on how to open a mine and prospect for ore. Rummaging [[Foraging]] at [[Mineral debris]], [[Rubble]], [[Bog muck]] or [[Lichen]] [[Resource nodes]] is the easiest way to start and should yield enough ore for a few nails and basic items.
====Smelting your iron====
Once you have a decent amount of iron rocks (10 or so) or iron ore, you'll need to smelt them. Activate your carving knife and pick up some of those wood scraps you kept. Right-click on the wood scraps and select ''Create > [[Kindling]]''. Once you have a few pieces of kindling, activate your [[steel and flint]]. Right-click on your kindling and select ''Create > [[Campfire]]''. This may take a few tries. Once you've created a campfire, put your iron rocks/ore AND a good handful of woodscrap into the campfire. '''You need to make sure the campfire stays lit, so add those woodscraps occasionally.''' Once the campfire gets hot enough, your iron rocks or ore will turn into 0.8 kg or 1kg [[iron lump]]s. You'll need 4-5 kg of iron to start, so make as much as you can to start.
