	Firstly, gather several large rocks, and many [[Small Rock\|small rocks]].

	Now, craft a [[~~Stone~~ Knife\|stone knife]] and [[~~Stone Axehead~~\|stone ~~axehead~~]]. These tools will allow you to perform basic tasks required to advance - carving and cutting with the knife (used in other crafting recipes), and digging and chopping with the axe ~~head~~. Make sure you have storage areas for each of these tools.		Now, craft a [[Knife\|stone knife]] and a [[Hand Axe\|stone hand axe]].

Make sure you have storage areas for each of these tools.

	Notice how you must wait for one item to be finished before crafting the other - it is a good idea to build several crafting areas so that you can craft in parallel, which saves time.
