Clay is a resource used for building and crafting. It can be harvested by mining clay nodes common found throughout the forest on the Player Island and around the shoreline. A pickaxe is most suitable for mining although a hammer could do in a pinch. Unlike stone, it has a rather dark brown color and is more rounded. It can only be found near the water's edge.
The player should equip a pickaxe and swing it at the clay node (default button is right click) to deal damage to it. When swinging the pickaxe, a circular glow will appear after each swing. If the player swings the pickaxe at the right moment the circle appears, the next swing will be a critical, dealing double damage.
Once the node is mined, the clearing remains and another clay node will respawn after a few days, making clay a renewable resource. Each clay node mined gives 35 clay.
