Getting Started with Embers Rekindled

To begin your journey into dwarven magic, you must first locate the Ancient Codex. This item serves as the primary in-game manual and can be found in various underground structures or crafted.

The Ancient Codex

The Codex provides detailed instructions on every machine and mechanic. It is divided into categories: Fundamentals, Metallurgy, Alchemy, and Tinkering.

Finding Ember

Ember is not found in the air or in plants; it resides in the bedrock. To see where Ember is most concentrated, you will need an Ember Detector. This handheld device indicates the 'Ember Stability' of a chunk. Higher stability means more energy can be extracted before the chunk is depleted.

The Ember Bore

The Ember Bore is the first major machine you will build. It must be placed at the lowest possible levels of the world (near Bedrock). When fueled with coal or other combustible materials, it drills into the ground to extract Ember Grit, Ember Shards, and Ember Crystals.
