If this effects you you should find a flat source of clay, or drop Dirt on the lower corners to raise them up and reduce slope. (''See the [[Digging - Simplified|Digging Tutorial]] for more info'')# In your inventory you will have a Body icon. By clicking the '+' symbols you can expand it out to see the various parts, you will need to activate either your left or right hand by double-clicking on Body > (right or left) arm > hand.# With your hand active, right click the clay, Create > Containers > ([[#Items covered in this tutorial|select]] which container you want to make).## If you want to improve the quality of your [[:Category:Pottery items|clay item]] now is the time. Examining it (right click, Examine) will tell you the current [[quality]], [[damage]] and what items are required to improve it. If you activate those items, right clicking your clay item will give you an Improve option. If you fail to improve it you will damage it.### IMPORTANT - You can no improve the clay item after they are turned into pottery bowls can items. You should Improve it before you make the pottery item.# Unless you have a [[kindling]] in your inventory you will need to make it. You will also need [[log]]s, [[peat]] or [[tar]] to fuel the fire once you have started it.## Create Kindling from logs with a Carving knife. (''See the [[woodcutting(tutorial)|Woodcutting Tutorial]] for more info'').# Once you have a finished clay item you will need fire. You may use a forge, an oven or you will need to make a campfire. In either case you will need to fuel it shortly with logs or some other flammable material in your inventory such as peat or tar. If the fire goes out the process will not be used completed## If you have a forge or oven, activate your steel and flint, right click the forge and light it. This will consume your kindling, you will need to add fuel to it shortly or it will burn out.## If you choose to make a campfire, find the tile you wish to cook foodmake it on, activate your steel and flint, right click your kindling, Create > Container > Campfire. For higher quality food This will consume your kindling, you will need to add fuel to it shortly or it will burn out.# Right click, open your forge, oven or campfire. Drag the clay item from your inventory into it.## You will now have to wait. Depending on the quality of the forge, oven or campfire as well as how brightly it burns (both can be seen by right click, Examine) this may take a longer or shorter period of time. ''Generally'' a forge is faster than a metal oven which in turn is faster than a campfire. Go do something else, like [[botanizing]] and [[Frying Panforaging]]tiles for food.# Open the forge, oven or campfire again. If you see a pottery item instead of a clay item the process is complete, otherwise you can examine the clay bowl to see how hot it is. Clay items need to be glowing from heat before they are finished. ===Using=== ==== Clay items ==== There are some uses to clay (i.e. not baked and turned into pottery) items: * '''Adding:''' To add to a container, select the item you want to add from your inventory and drag it over over the container. * '''Removing:''' To remove an item from a container, open it, select the item you wish to move and drag it outside of it into the rest of your inventory.
