=== Making logs ===
# To begin you will need to find an appropriate tree. See'' 'Hints and Tips' ''for Details on advice for picking trees without making enemies.
# Activate your small axe by double-clicking it. When you right click the tree now you have a 'Cut Down' option. This will turn the tree into a felled tree
## This will take time. Each attempt will hack further away at the tree until it falls over. See'' 'Hints and Tips' ''for more info. If you have a sickle you will want to try and take a sprout before you continue, Activate your sickle (double click it) and right click the tree, you should get a 'Take Sprout' option, if you fail in your attempt to take a sprout you will need to use another tree, if you DO have the sickle it's best to get one before you continue.
# Now that the tree is cut down you can begin cutting it into more manageable pieces called logs. Logs are generally too big to use on any one items, most are made by carving parts off the log into a usable shape. Your small axe should still be active, right clicking the felled tree should produce a 'Chop Up' option. If you do anything with the logs produced this way before the felled tree disappears you will need to reactivate your small axe. You can chop the felled tree into a number of logs, depending on the age of the tree.
## If you had a sickle now is a good time to plant the sprout you got earlier, preferably on the same square you took it from. The logs and the felled tree won't get in the way of planting it. Double click the sprout to select it, right click the place you wish to grow it, then choose the 'Plant' option. If you fail the sprout will be ruined, but the logs and/or felled tree will mark your spot if you have to go take another sprout.
# Once you are finished chopping the felled tree you should have a number of logs in front of you, perfect to start experimenting with carpentry or firemaking.
=== Making fire ===
# Activate your Carving Knife by double clicking it. Then choose either a Log or Woodscrap with weight more than 1.5kg
## ** Is your Woodscrap too light? You can combine Woodscraps the same way you combine Rock-shards and Iron Lumps (As long as the lumps are glowing). Activate one of the two, then, when right clicking the other you should gain a 'Combine' option. This will destroy both and make a new item with the combined weight of both and a QL that is the weighted average of the pieces. (''Combining a QL 3 0.2kg Woodscrap with a QL 1 0.4kg woodcrap will give you a QL 1.33 0.6kg Woodscrap'')
# Right click on the Woodscrap or Log. You should gain a 'Create > Miscellanious > Kindling' option. you will need a kindling every time you start a fire, and every fire will consume one kindling
## if you fail to create a kindling, you will create a woodscrap the exact weight of a kindling. Since you can create a Kindling from a woodscrap you shouldn't need to use another woodscrap again or more of your log
## 20kg is the right ammount to fuel a fire with the average log, wasting little after producing two kindling from a 24kg log
# Right click and Examine the fire. This will tell you it's quality andhow fuelled it is which determines how well it burns. If it has plenty of fuel it will burn longer and heat at maximum capacity. The higher the Quality of the Campfire, Forge or Oven the faster it will heat things up inside it, Campfires' Quality are determined by the firemaking skill of the lighter, while Forges and Ovens can be improved with good quality Rockshards and tools.
