Getting Started with Pyrotech
In Pyrotech, the early game is significantly more challenging. Players cannot simply craft a wooden pickaxe or a crafting table using the vanilla 2x2 grid for most items.
Initial Resource Gathering
- Rocks: Instead of mining stone directly, players must find small rocks on the surface or break stone blocks to receive shards and rocks. These are used for basic tools and machines.
- Plant Fibers: Breaking tall grass yields plant fibers, which can be crafted into twine. Twine is a vital component for early-game binding.
- Flint: Found by breaking gravel. Flint is the primary material for your first set of functional tools.
- Sticks: Gathered by breaking leaves or picking them up off the ground.
The First Tools
Before you can craft a Worktable, you must create Crude Tools. These have very low durability and are intended only to help you gather the materials needed for Flint-tier equipment.
| Tool Tier | Durability | Harvest Level | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crude | 32 | 0 | Very fragile, made from rocks and sticks. |
| Flint | 150 | 1 | Standard early-game tier; requires twine. |
| Bone | 225 | 1 | Slightly better than flint; requires bone shards. |
| Obsidian | 800 | 2 | High durability; requires advanced processing. |
