Her craving for escaping into the limitless world of imagination made her fall in love with anime soon after. Now she uses her creative spell to write about all that’s new in the Gaming World.

And I've got a nice dirt patch where I can plunk down seeds, I dug a long trench from a pond all the way to my base so I can fill my watering can without having to venture out, and I've even got a patch of rock set up to grow my new carrots (they're actually called carrocks, since they only grow on rock). Rather than giving you recipes and telling you what ingredients you need, you just take two ingredients—any two ingredients, even two of the same ingredient—throw them in the pot, and see what comes out.

Wood Pickaxe helps mine the soft dirt biome walls more quickly. All walls can be slowly broken by punching continuously (except obsidian).

Screenshot by Bonus Action For all its cozy pixel graphics, your character can die in Core Keeper. You can turn this off in the settings when starting a new server, but if you have survival turned on, here’s what to expect.

Torches are one of the first and easiest items you can craft in Core Keeper. They just require wood to make, are great sources of light, and can be easily placed wherever you need them.

These three statues represent the first three bosses that you'll have to take on: Glurch, Ghorm, and Malugaz. Before we worry about them, though, we'll want to start cleaning up the immediate area.

Soul of Ra-Akar. Once a power is collected, the boss's sigil is added to the Souls tab of the character screen. Each sigil Core Keeper Gameplay can be clicked to toggle that ability on or off.
