You can use the Horsetail for your first Poltise, it’s and early way to heal, like bandages

[@ClaudeTaylor2005]

Now you can make a lantern for infinite light

Some advice, do make support beams to hold up unstable rocks. And you don't need to mine an area when going for deposits, you can just mine directly down. Personally i do it in a 2x2 hole.

[@Tig.]

you were asking if you can make cobblestone. you can, I believe it takes clay. also you can make stairs

Is the and option for armor? Like a copper helmet so you don't get sniped so easily? Glad you found your new place, I thought you'd just build into a cliffside as happy as the pickaxe made you.

Re the bowtorn at 19:14: turning off rifts will prevent surface spawns, but monsters will still spawn in caves, and from there they can wander up to the surface if they are close. If you start a new game in Homo Sapiens mode, there will be no monsters (but also no ruins and no traders), but in a game started in any other mode there is no way to completely get rid of monsters except via mods. (There are a couple of mods that just remove monsters, if you are willing to use mods.)

PS: by default there are no oceans; you have to enable them by adjusting the "landcover" setting at world creation. So the sailboat will be a fun toy but probably not terribly useful in your current world.

To remove the headstone map markers (or any other map marker), open the map, right-click on the marker, and select "delete". The cave-in system definitely makes mining more difficult. You might want to look in the handbook for information on support beams, which help manage them. The way ore generation works in this game makes random digging nearly useless in most situations. You want to find a location with an ore deposit first, by surface nuggets, by using the prospecting pick, or by spotting exposed ore in a cliff face or something, and then dig there.
