Tips
Dropping items
Dropped items will disappear after some time. You can change drop keybinding (Q by default) to prevent accidentally using it.
Lighting
- You can make torches from Lumps of Charcoal (burning wood in a furnace). You will need some Coal for some recipes later.
- Craft Super Glow Glass and cut it into slabs on a Circular Saw to get the most efficient light source.
- You can light cave surfaces from afar with Torch Arrows. But they don't always work.
Protection
- You can share protection in a Protection Block interface (right click it).
- Protection blocks can be placed in a grid using the protector placer tool while standing over a protector and clicking in the direction to place the next protector. If holding sneak while clicking, any members added in the interface will be copied across the new protector.
Chopping trees
Use Shift+left click of axe/chainsaw to cut down whole tree.
Running
Use Special key (usually E) to run faster. But that will deplete your Hunger quickly.
Fuel items
The best fuel is Bottle Fuel that can be crafted in Biofuel Refinery from any 4 organic items (Sticks, Leaves).
Fertilizer
Cheapest fertilizer is Mulch.
Farming
Super Glow Glass provides enough light for growing plants underground in adjacent tiles.
Pipes
When a tube's item count exceeds a configured limit, the tube breaks and is no longer suitable for transporting items. You can repair broken tubes by right-clicking with a hammer.
Multiple recipes
When browsing crafting guide be sure to check all the recipes for needed item. Cast Iron doesn't require Coal for example.
