Getting Started (SkyFactory 2)

Step by step on how to begin-

1. Break the tree logs, leave the bottom one and don’t touch the leaves yet. This will keep the leaves alive while you progress to step 2.

2. Turn all of your logs into planks, make 4 sticks, and a item called a crook. Use the rest of your wood for an crafting table and a wood platform.

3. Carefully use the crook and hope for a sapling and maybe even a silk worn (later in game). Remember, no sapling, no game.

4. After you get the sapling, replant the tree, harvest, grow platform, get sapling, repeat.

5. After you have around 20 extra saplings on you, you will want to crest a barrel. Do that by putting a platform in the bottom middle, and surround by wood on the sides. Boom, Barrel! Make around 3.

6. Once you have placed down the barrel, you are allowed to place 8-9 saplings in the barrel, which will compress to create a DIRT BLOCK. Very valuable in sky factory early game.

7. Once you have the dirt, you have 2 options. First is to use it for another tree, or save it for step 11.

8. Keep doing step 4 until you come across a SILK WORM. Once you have one of those, grow a tree. DO NOT DESTROY THE TREE. Right click the silk worn in some leaves, and let it infest the entire tree (takes patience).

9. After all of the tree leaves are 100% infested (white), break all of the leaves with a crook to get some string. Once you have the string, fill a crafting table with string to make some sort of net. Make 2.

10. After you have the nets, Open you crafting table. Put one net on top middle and middle middle. Next, put two sticks on bottom right and left. Than fill test of spaces with wood, but leave bottom middle open. Boom, sieve!

11. Now that you have your sieve, get some more dirt (around 5-6), I know this is a crazy long process, but it’s all worth it.

12. Congrats on the grinding! Now, hold the dirt and hold down right click to sieve the dirt, then you get some stones, and maybe even some seeds!

13. With the stone, open your inventory crafting and fill it with stones, to make a COBBLESTONE. Repeat this process a few times (I’m sorry, it must be done)

14. Once you have around 5-6 stones (15-18 dirt 😬), place then down in a wide open space in your base, but keep 2 on you for step 15.

15. Now it’s time to craft again! Open the workbench, put a cobblestone on the top middle, and middle right. Next, put sticks in the middle middle and bottom left. Boom, hammer!

16. Now that you have your hammer, go back to your precious little stones, because it’s time for them to die. Use your hammer to break all of stones into gravel, then gravel into sand, then sand into DUST. Key item for water (found in “EXTRA HELP”).

17. Make some more stones and turn them into more gravel (it just gets worse, guys). Sieve the gravel, allowing you to get broken ore, rare minerals, and much, much more!

18. Now that you have access to all of these things, your on your own now! Believe me, your ready. For additional help, go to “EXTRA HELP”)

((( EXTRA HELP )))

Water - place a barrel out in the open, no roof over it, literally nothing. Wait for it to rain, and let if fill up with water. Take some dust, and right click it in a barrel full of water. Boom, clay! After you have the clay, crush it down into little clay blobs, put them in a bucket formation in a crafting table, then you have a unforced clay bucket. Smelt it in a furnace, then you have a bucket! Nice! Wait for it to rain again in a barrel, then collect the water. I advise making a I donate water source. Now you have unlimited water!

Help! I’m starving! - Farm! No? Ok, well I guess you can try meat poll-ing, then. Use three wood platforms all in middle, to make a dying rack. Place them on blocks (make polls to make them look better), then use some rotten flesh you got from your mob farm (below), then let it dry. Boom! Good food source!

Mob farm - first of all, make sure it’s at least 25-30 blocks away from you base. Then make some wood spikes with swords and blocks, in a triangle format. Build out 25-30 blocks from spawn then build up around 7-12 blocks high in a 4x4-6x6 block format. Leave it dark, so mobs may spawn. Leave a open space for grabbing their items.
