Clay is an important craft material Windows. You will need clay pots and clay bottles, as well as for more advanced crafting recipes. The game prompts you to explore the soil after you gain access to the alchemy table and asks you to make some healing potions (trust me, potions are essential as you tackle the game's difficult islands), though you may have found some while exploring the coastal jungle islands to begin with.
I will cover where to find clay in the world, however each Windows map is randomly generated, so there is no precision as to the 'go here to find clay' location, as well as what it is used for in crafting.
Where to find soil
Can be found in soil A large patch of black, earthy material In the starting area of Windrose – there will probably be some patches of mud on your starting island. To actually harvest soil, you need at least one stone pickaxe. It is an early game tool that has been crafted with Three stones and three sticks on a workbench.
There is no specific location where you can find soil because maps and islands are randomly generated in the game. Often, I've found mud near water, but you can also find it inland. Keep exploring the islands and you'll eventually find something.
How to use clay
Clay is used to make pottery – which is Useful for both chemistry and cookingAllowing you to create more sophisticated recipes as you find them – as well as clay bottles, which is used to make crafts A chemical base that is an essential ingredient for making a medicine.
More sophisticated building recipes (to expand your base) also require soil, though these are found later in the game as you explore, complete quests, and find recipes in the forest.
