With the dawn of a new day, start searching for Rocks again. You are going to need a Pickaxe to extract them. What you are going to need to create it, are 2x Twigs and 2x Flint.

Take the tool into your right hand and click on the boulder several times to smash it. You need to acquire 16 rocks by working this way.

You are going to need twelve of them to create a Fire Pit. It is very useful, as it remains in place after the fire dies and everything you need to start fire again, is more logs.

With the remaining four, you are going to build a Science Machine, available in the Science tab. Building the machine will give you access to a large number of new schemata.

Unfortunately, building a Science Machine also requires, apart from the stones, a Gold Nugget. You can sometimes find it simply lying around on the ground, but this is a rather rare occurrence,. The most reliable source for gold are gold-bearing boulders. These are different from regular boulders In that they are crossed with a streak of gold on the surface. There is a 70% Chance of acquiring a gold nugget after smashing such a boulder. Once you succeed, you will be ready to set up your first permanent camp.
