Core Keeperisa indie game that has many mechanicsfor the players to focus on. However, doing anything in a game likeCore Keeperrequires the player to unlock crafting tables, and create unique items that will help them do different tasks.
At the start, these items don’t require a lot of materials, but as the utility of the items increases, so does their complexity, requiring more and more esoteric materials to craft. One important material that is used in many early game recipes is Tin, a metal that players can mine from the world around them.
What Does Tin Look Like in Core Keeper
In the underworld, tin has a metallic shine to it. When not mined, it appears as round metallic protrusions in clay blocks, having a grey-ish silver sheen that attracts the eye. It is harder to mine than copper, but can beobtained with a simple wooden pickaxe.
When you first mine the material, it will appear as Tin Ore, a raw material that cannot be used anywhere. However, players can convert it into a tin bar by passing it through a furnace. Tin bars are a necessary resource that directly upgrades players from copper tools. Making these tools requires the player to craft the Tin Workbench, which can only be crafted at the Copper Workbench.
Where to Obtain Tin in Core Keeper
Tin occurs naturally in the world, mostly inside clay blocks that can be mined with a wooden pickaxe. The key feature to look for is the slightly pink ground, which will usually be foundnear a body of water. Tin is hard to find in normal clay locations, but is abundant in the Clay Caves biome. If you can’t find tin near you, there are other ways to obtain this resource as well:
Since you will need tin for a majority of work projects in the latter part of the game, it’s important to farm the resource early and obtain as many as you can when you find a source.
