Useful Stuff

Wicker Shield

The wicker shield can offer early game protection, especially against surface drifters and wolves.

Sluice

The sluice ramp can separate rocks and valuables from any pannable soil/block, meaning you do not have to spend hours knee-deep in water filling your inventory with junk to find valuables. To use the ramp first you need a small current of water, the lowest current it will go to. Put the ramp below it and if you placed it right you should see water flow down. Place a hopper directly on top of the sluice and fill it with pannable soils, like sand, gravel, etc, and voila! Items separated fall out the front of it. Keep in mind it only gives potentially one item per block vs panning potential eight.

Tent Bag

The tentbag allows the player to create a temporary structure and carry it around with them, making a nomadic lifestyle even in the most hostile terrain possible. Create a structure within a 7X3X7 area and right-click the ground underneath the structure in the center to pack it up. The ground does not count and does not get packed! There must not be banned blocks in the area(rock, static translocators, etc.) and containers and item piles will drop their contents upon packing. To unpack you need solid 7X7 ground and a completely clear 7X3X7 area above that. Right-click on the block underneath the center to deploy. It costs 100 saturation to pack up and unpack a tent

Climbing Picks

These amazing climbing tools allow you to climb any block or surface. It can only be made from iron+ materials and requires that you have two, one in each hand in order to climb. Climbing with these will slowly damage them over time, and they can be repaired by the Necessaries Grindstone. Will not work near a boss.

Glider

This crudely put together glider can help transverse mountainous areas much faster. Much caution and care must be taken not to land too hard or land in the wrong spot. Jump off a cliff or ledge with the glider in hand to glide. Look where you want to go and press space to stop and fall normally. Do not hold space. Looking down will cause you to descend faster but gain much more horizontal speed. Aiming towards the horizon will cause you to descend slower, while looking up will slow you down horizontally and even make you go backwards. Looking too far up or too far down will cause you to stall, losing all your momentum and crashing to the ground. There are updrafts all over the world and will help you with sustained flight. Gliders cannot be used in caves.

Bendy Chutes

Setting up chutes and need an orientation the game does not support? No more of that with bendy chutes! Crafted with two chute sections and a rusty gear. Will automatically snap to any other bendy chute or container.

Tipped Arrows

Give your arrows a little more of a kick, by giving them a tip!

Explosive Arrows

Crafted by placing an ore blasting bomb and arrow in crafting grid. Explodes on impact and destroys the arrow

Fire Arrows

Crafted by placing a lit torch, fat, and an arrow into the crafting grid. Lights entities on fire upon impact and loses it's tip

Beenade Arrows

Crafted by placing a filled beenade and arrow into the crafting grid. Releases 1-2 swarms of bees on impact and loses it's tip

Tranquilizer Arrows

Crafted by placing an arrow, resin, and either a golden poppy or catmint in crafting grid. Slows target down by 10% per hit and multiple hits can stop them from moving. (Note: Hostile entities can still attack and jump). Lasts for 1 in game hour. Has no effect of mechanical mobs

Heart Stopper Arrows

Crafted by placing an arrow, resin, death cap or funeral bell mushroom, and lily of the valley in the crafting grid. After 1 in game hour it deals 75% of the animals maximum health as damage. Effect does not stack. Has no effect on mechanical mobs

Ceramic Tablet

The ceramic tablet can be used to write down the names of items and entities that are unique to you. Once you have a fired tablet, place it on the ground and right click with a pigment item to write a name. Once you are finished with the name, save and pick it up. To assign the name to an entity, shift-right click the entity. This will not work on traders or other players! To name an item stack first ctrl + shift + right click and you should see, a message pop up in the info log. Take the item you want to name and swap it with the tablet. You should see another message if it was successful. When naming a entity or item it will be erased from the tablet. A tablet with no name can be used for erasing names and you would do that the same way you name something. Note: For items the name will be lost if it is transformed, for example cooking meat. Also placing a named block will also lose its name. Finally some items cannot be named, like ores for example.
