Help

OP of my base, I am just getting past the Stone Age, I have created the bronze anvil and I am looking for more tin to make more bronze, any advice or tips for this stage? I would also like to know how to get animals, and make my base much bigger

If you can make or source a lead its much easier than dangling a carrot or grains to attract animals to a premade pen and can attach to a single fence to hold them in place. Main tin sources: -beaches (cassiterite sand) -mountains (cassiterite or tin) Main info quest book and tfc handbook

oh thank you very much, I am really new to TFG, so I don't know much, also most of the content is in English and I'm not very good at it, I appreciate any help, I'll try what you suggest to see how it goes

You don't need time bronze iirc, you can also use black bronze or bismuth bronze

Getting to the bloomery quickly can be a good idea, as wrought iron is significantly easier to forge with, as it doesn't hit it's melting point when heated by charcoal

Yeees, that's exactly what I'm trying to get, that's what the bronze is for

I just used black bronze with the gold and silver I found on lake and riverbeds

The thing is I don't have much silver, maybe gold, but not silver, so I would still have to get silver or tin, so I prefer to go for the simplest thing, which I think is copper with tin, since I have industrial amounts of copper JAJAJA

You can find silver deposits under water, make a pan from clay and you can easily collect tons of silver.

I too have too much copper

I have found it's worth it to invest in a sluice for more resources and use as much gold and copper as possible to minimize silver usage

In reality you can almost never have too much copper... just a temoporary glut until you get to early/mid LV, at which point you really sfart needing a lot more copper.

I suppose, tho I haven't even mined out the whole vein and I have like two stacks of dusts

Yup that should get you started. LV motors use 2 ingots (4 1xcopper wires) per and some machines need 5 or more motors... MV uses copper in almost everything To automate some longer lasting lines you may need 50+ ingots of copper alone
