Guide

Welcome to Tinkertown, an island in the middle of... somewhere?

You begin by creating your character...This character will become a hero, I am sure of it.

Adjust your hair style... change the color of that hair... choose a good style clothing and color.

Now it's time to create a map...or an island I should say. Type in a Map name.

You can then input any 'Seed' number you feel, each number will give a different layout of your island, allowing for a different exploration path every time you play. Makes things a little more entertaining right?

Behold! You find yourself in the middle of some old stony ruins in the forest biome to be exact, There is no good shouting... nobody will hear you sorry, but you may attract some goblins or bats... anyway, you can press 'Tab' to check your inventory...But you wont have anything...Yet!

You can use your inventory for Crafting after collecting some resources...We are getting to that.

Dust up those knuckles and get punching... You can only break a few things right now, **Small Rocks**, **Tree Branches**, **Bushes** (With or without the  Berries) \*I recommend the Berry bushes, Berries heal you when eaten.

Breaking these selected objects will drop you some  Wood and  Stone… and maybe  Berries. Now you can hit that 'Tab' button and begin building.

Use the first 8  Wood and 8  Stone to craft yourself 2 new tools... Those knuckles must be hurting already.

Craft yourself a  Stone Pickaxe and a  Stone Axe from your inventory, and now you can chop down the larger trees and mine ores. (Very limited right now)

I recommend you mine around for a little bit, collect some more  Wood and  Stone, but this time mine the  Coal and the  Copper Ore you find around this forest biome.

...

After some gathering its time to progress and start building...

Spend the first 10  Wood building a  Workbench, find a nice place to put it, or clear some ground to make room. Set it to your Hotbar/Toolbelt located at the top of the screen, or whatever you like to call it. In game you can use your mouse wheel to scroll through objects in the Hotbar, or press the designated number next to the item. Ranging from 1 - 9 and also a 0 at the end. now you can place your new  Workbench.

Right click on your  Workbench to open your inventory but this time the right hand side crafting panel will be different, it will now display all the available objects, items and more that can be crafted on the  Workbench. Move to far away and this crafting menu will close.

Next up is the  Furnace, everyone knows a fellow survivalist stranded on an island needs to smelt his mined ores somehow, and by using only 5  Wood and 10  Stone, you can build a pretty cool  Furnace. The furnace is a clever thing... It can smelt numerous ores instantly. no time required... So don't worry about all that waiting you find in other games.

## **Differences between adventure mode and free exploration mode**

#### **Adventure mode**

In the adventure mode, you play as your character. You land in the middle of ruins where there is a hooded character called "the archaic".

He will ask you to do some "missions" for him and you can learn more about the possibilities the game allows you to do.

In this game mode, you are limited to the forest biome. You have to follow the missions of the archaeologist and you can gradually access the different biomes and features of the game.

#### Free exploration

In the free exploration mode, you are left to your own devices and you can travel between the different biomes as you wish. Each biome has its own particularities, dungeons, resources and the creatures are more or less strong depending on the biome.

#### Conclusion

The only difference between the two game modes is the freedom of movement through the biomes.
