Step by step
- Get the Pickaxe first. Clay can’t be collected without it. The Pickaxe has no crafting recipe — you have to find it in the dungeon (see where to find the Pickaxe).
- Go to the sewers and look for piles of yellow goo. This is where most goo piles are.
- Hit the pile with the Pickaxe. Clay drops at random, so one pile won’t always give the same amount.
- A few item spawn points can also produce Clay, but goo piles are the reliable source.
What Clay is used for
| Build | Ingredients |
|---|---|
| Smelter (turns Scrap Metal + Coal into Iron Rods) | 5 Clay + 5 Scrap Metal |
| Oven | 5 Clay + 1 Grate |
| Water Pot | 4 Clay + 1 Iron Rod |
| Statue Mold | holds up to 16 Clay |
The Smelter is usually the reason people need Clay: it lets you make your own Iron Rods instead of hunting for them. See crafting stations for the full list.
Common mistakes
- Using the wrong tool. If nothing happens when you hit the goo, you’re not holding the Pickaxe.
- Looking for Clay in the demo. It isn’t there — the demo predates it.
