Flint?

[adell_1992]

anybody know where to get flint ? It seems i need it for a lot of stuff but I've only got stone so far.
I've settled on the bench seat(easier to remember) if there's anything nearby

You need to go to the beach. South on the map. One of the quests will send you there but you can chance going there earlier if you want.

Right but beach is the least dangerous place to find it. If they don't have flint yet, they probably don't want to go anywhere else to get it.

i just went to the beach and its a pain because of low wood. it was hard to setup shelters.
i made 1 using 90% roof shapes because they only cost fiber

If you go to the beach, you want to bring several stacks of fiber and wood. And you want to bring 1 bottlecap, and 1 metal screw.

With those you can make as stone cutter crafting bench.

The beach has a lot of the materials needed to make flint tier weapons and tools. If you bring the things to make the stonecutter (bottle cap and screw), you can use the station to turn seeds into oil, and then oil + wood into refined wood. There are seed dropping plants growing on the beach. Flint and refined wood (plus some basic mats) will get you flint tier stuff.

Plus, bark needs a flint pick or better to harvest. So if you can make the tool there, you can harvest bark and bring it back. Without it, you're going to have to trek back to your main base, make flint tools and then return.

Plus having flint weapons will make fighting your way off the beach easier. I never even found a way down at first. I just walked along the top of the cliffs until I saw a big empty spot with no enemy spawns. Then I jumped down the cliff face from ledge to ledge. Sort of stranded myself there, and figured out how to get back later on.
