==Decisions, decisions==*Use the [[iron rock]] on the [[rock shards]] to make a [[crude knife]]*Use the [[crude knife]] on the [[branches]] to make [[shafts]]*Use the [[iron rock]] on the [[rock shards]] to make [[crude pickaxe head]] and [[crude shovel head]]*Use the [[shafts]] on the [[crude pickaxe head]] and [[crude shovel head]] to make [[crude shovel]]s [[crude pickaxe]]s
Now that you have a crude knife, you can make either a ==Smelting iron==*[[crude pickaxemallet]]*[[campfire]] or a *[[crude shoveliron lumps]]. Personally, I find the pickaxe to be more useful, but either one can cut down a tree. Before you start chopping though, be sure it is either a fruit tree or a mature tree. Why? Because you can't cut a felled tree into logs! Not with any of these tools, anyway. Still, you need to make a mallet, and you will need wood for a fire.
If you made a crude pickaxe, you can get started prospecting for While the iron ore. If you went with a crude shovelrocks are heating up, you'll need to rummage for get about 6 more iron rocks. Either waybranches and make shafts, get your hands on some more iron (ore or rocks). It's time to start making iron tools.and a [[mallet]]
==Make some new tools==*Combine all of the *hot* lumps into one big [[lump]].*Use the mallet on the lump to make a [[small anvil]]*use the remaining lump on the small anvil to make a [[carving knife blade]] and a [[shovel blade]]*use the knife on the shaft to make a handle*attach the handle to the carving knife blade*Attach a shaft to the shovel blade
From here on out, the only difference between hardcore and normal Wurm is the lack of weapons while This should be enough to get you are building your own set of tools and weapons (and armor and whatever else you decide to build)going. Being able You will need to defend yourself is an undeniable advantageget more iron rock for a pickaxe and hatchet, but tools are far more important now you can use the carving knife to you at this point. Especially an [[anvil]]make shafts, a [[pickaxe]]and the shovel to cut down trees (tip: only cut down mature trees, a [[hatchet]]or fruit trees, and you need a [[carving knife]].hatched to chop up felled trees)
Since the anvil must be made first, you need to make a [[mallet]]. This tool is only necessary to make the anvil to begin with, and once the anvil is made, its importance diminishes. Fortunately, it is easy to make. The hatchet and carving knife seem to me to be the most important tools to make. You do need to replace the crude pickaxe with a better one as soon as you can, though. You also need to locate an iron vein to get better quality ore. Iron rocks are always low QL. Also, until you make a [[stone chisel]] and find some [[clay]], you will need to smelt your ore in a [[campfire]]. This is much slower than using a [[forge]], but until you have made some basic iron tools, it's all you have. This should be enough to get you going. Good luck in the lands of Wurm!

Your first order of business is to find [[iron rock]] and [[branch]]es, the more the better. Once you find a rock face, you need to rummage over it. Rummaging is like foraging but for rock instead of grass, trees, or steppe. You will likely only turn up two types of items: rock shards (in smaller amounts than you would mine) and iron rock. You will need both to make your first tool, a [[crude knife]].
*Go to a large cliff or [[rock tile]] for rummaging
**get about 8 3 iron rocks, and 1 20kg [[rock shardshards]]
*Foraging tree tiles have a higher probability of branches
**get about 12 6 branches
Your going to need a lot more iron rocks, at least 17 (51kg) to make a carving knife and a shovel
When you melt the iron rocks in a campfire you get .2kg for every 3kg.
