Getting Started with Tinkers' Construct

To begin your journey, you must craft the introductory guide book: Materials and You. This is crafted by combining a regular Book with a Pattern or a piece of Grout.

Essential Early Blocks

1. Crafting Station: An upgraded crafting table that keeps items in its grid and can access adjacent chests.
2. Part Builder: Used to create tool parts from materials like Wood, Stone, and Flint using Patterns.
3. Tinker Station: The primary block for assembling tools and applying modifiers.
4. Tinker's Anvil: An upgraded version of the Tinker Station required for crafting "Broad" (advanced) tools.

Grout and Seared Bricks

To build a Smeltery, you need Seared Bricks. These are made by smelting Grout, which is crafted from Clay, Sand, and Gravel.
