How to Get Clay in 7 Days to Die 1.0

 

Where to Find Clay Soil

 

     Clay Soil is scattered across various biomes, but your best bet is to start in the Pine Forest. The grassy terrain here is packed with Clay Soil, making it the perfect starting point. Grab a shovel and start digging to reveal this precious material. Not all ground types will yield clay, so avoid asphalt roads and dirt paths, which are less likely to provide the goods.

 

    

 

Best Methods to Gather Clay Soil

 

     To maximize your clay harvest, you’ll need to employ some strategies. Start with a shovel—preferably an Iron Shovel or better. The type and quality of your shovel directly affect your clay yield. For example, a Stone Shovel at Quality 4 gathers more clay than a Stone Shovel at Quality 1. If you’ve got an Iron Shovel, you’re in for a treat: it digs up clay twice as efficiently as the Stone version.

 

    

     Enhance your efficiency even further with shovel mods. The Grave Digger Mod boosts the damage done to dirt by 25%, while the Ergonomic Grip Mod reduces stamina consumption by 10%. These mods make digging less of a stamina drain and more of a resource bonanza. And don’t forget, leveling up in the Miner 69’er and Mother Lode Perks will make you a clay-harvesting powerhouse, increasing both the damage dealt to blocks and the amount of clay gathered.

 

    

 

How to Turn Clay Soil into Clay

 

     Once you’ve amassed a decent pile of Clay Soil, it’s time to turn it into usable Clay. Head to your Forge, a key crafting station in the game. Place your Clay Soil into the input slot of the Forge’s Smelting section. Add some Fuel—Wood or Coal works best—and press "Turn On." The Forge will then slowly convert Clay Soil into Clay, which will appear in the Smelting section.
