Clay is the raw earth of Pottery. Shaped on a wheel or pressed in a mold and then fired in a kiln, it becomes bowls, jars, bricks, tiles and casting molds.
It is a key material for a self-built settlement. Pottery gives containers and tableware. Pressed clay gives Brick and Ceramic Tile for building. Clay molds and crucibles are the start of metal casting. Clay also builds kilns and the Primitive Furnace.
It is dug from clay deposits near water, and a Sack of Clay opens into eight Clay. The Carpenter is the best occupation for materials. It starts with the most Carpentry skill. For Welding, the Welder starts strongest.
Uses
Pottery is the main use. On a Pottery Wheel, Sculpt Bowl, Sculpt Mug, Sculpt Plate and Sculpt Clay Teacup make tableware. Sculpt Jar needs Pottery 5, and Sculpt Clay Pot takes five Clay. Sculpt Crucible and Sculpt Small Ceramic Crucible need Pottery 1 and a Sack of Sand. These crucibles carry molten metal. At a Pottery Bench, Sculpt Smoking Pipe needs Pottery 3, and Press Sheet Mold makes a mold for glass.
The Hand-Operated Press shapes clay in wooden molds. Press Clay Brick, Press Clay Tile and Press Clay Shingle make building pieces. Press Bar Mold and Press Ingot Mold make casting molds. Press Blacksmith Anvil Mold takes eight Clay. Bricks and tiles can also be pressed by hand.
Building uses clay as well. Construct Primitive Furnace takes six Clay, four Stone and concrete. A Large Kiln or a Small Kiln takes twenty Clay with a mason's trowel. The Pottery Bench is built with clay too. An Amphora takes ten. Mix Bucket of Clay Cement mixes two Clay with water and a Sack of Sand, or with fifty Grass Cutting or Hay.
How to Get Clay
Clay comes from clay deposits in the wild. They are often found near rivers and other natural water. A deposit is dug out with a shovel or similar digging tool and an empty sack. Each deposit gives one Sack of Clay. Clay can also be found by foraging.
Take Clay from Sack opens one Sack of Clay into eight Clay and an empty Sack.

Notes
- Shaped pieces such as bowls, molds and bricks are fired in a kiln to finish them.
- Clay Cement can be made with grass or hay when sand runs out.
- A kiln itself is built from clay, so the first clay goes into the kiln.
- Riverbanks are the first place to look for a clay deposit.
