How to Grow Livingstone and Verdite for Self-Repairing Tools

Not every equipment tier in Deep Vein Excavation requires cave mining. You can produce renewable gear at your base by cultivating plant-based materials that mend themselves outdoors.

Gathering Livingstone and Verdite

Instead of digging underground, set up crop plots and composters at your base. Livingstone and Verdite are plant materials gathered directly through farming and composting.

1. Harvest excess crops, seeds, and plant matter from your farms.

2. Process your harvests through composting setups and check your recipe book to see the exact conversion steps for Livingstone and Verdite.

3. Craft tools, weapons, or armor from these gathered plant materials at a crafting table.

Repairing Durability in Sunlight

You do not need an anvil or extra ingots to maintain Livingstone and Verdite equipment. Both materials automatically repair their durability when exposed to direct sunlight.

• Carry these tools during daytime surface builds, farming sessions, or overland travel so they regenerate durability while you work.
• If a tool runs low while you are caving, bring it back to the surface under an open daytime sky with no blocks overhead and hold or wear it until its durability bar recovers.
