If you want to gather higher value resources, new resources that unlock additional buildings and upgrades, you will need to unlock higher tiered tools.

What You Need To Know

At the beginning of the game, you have access to the most basic of tools. These include Stone Axe, Stone Pickaxe, Stone Knife, Wood Hammer, Wood Hoe, and Wood Rake.

In order to craft the next tier of tools, you need to construct a Workshop. You can find the Workshop under the Advanced Construction menu, it’s called the Workshop Pit.

Bonus Tip – Be Careful Building The Workshop

The Workshop is an integral part of ASKA, it’s one of the most important buildings you will ever add to your village. This is because much of the games progression, such as crafting Metal Tools and Armor, requires Workshop Addons.

As such, make certain when placing the initial Workshop building that you have ample space on either side for a single Addon on both ends of the building.

How To Unlock Higher Tier Tools

Once the Workshop has been built you need to upgrade it to the Workshop Hut. This unlocks additional crafting recipes. These include the more advanced farming tools, and the Large Stone Axe and Large Stone Pickaxe.

You can then begin crafting the next tier of tools.

In this guide on how to get Fiber, we’ll provide in-depth details on three different methods of farming this valuable resource. This guarantees a regular supply of Flax, regardless of how random your world is.

Gathering Flax & Fiber

Gathering Flax, which becomes Fiber as you collect the resource, is the single best method of obtaining Fiber. However, as mentioned previously, the availability of Flax as a gatherable resource depends on your world seed.

It’s worth noting that Flax doesn’t appear to spawn commonly on the beach or near water, which is where all seeds start the player. As such, you may need to explore a short distance before you can find some.

Bonus Tip – Set Villager Priority On Fiber To High

Both the Woodcutters Pit and Gathering pit, later upgraded to Huts and Houses, are able to assign Villagers to gather Flax. You can change the priority order to high to increase the amount of Flax your villagers gather.

Use your Search Area Sense (Z) to scan the nearby area for resources. This highlights all available resources in a small radius. Look at the image above, this is what you are looking for.

It’s a medium-sized shrubbery covered in white flowers. It is smaller than Dwarf Spruce, which is a taller shrubbery void of flowers, and it’s bigger than ground-root vegetables, such as Beetroot.

Once you understand the size differences between the resources, you should be able to locate Fiber quicker.

Resourcing Flax & Fiber

If you are unlucky enough to arrive in a World Seed that lacks the natural gathering nodes for Flax, there is an alternative method. You can obtain Fiber by dismantling other materials.

For example, whenever you cut down trees, you are given Bark. Bark is used for certain construction recipes and other items, but it can also be used for Fiber – although in smaller quantities than the natural resource.

Simply gather a lot of Bark and then drop it all on the ground at your feet. You can then use the Harvest (R) button to dismantle the Bark, turning it into Fiber.

Farming Flax & Fiber

The final option, and arguably the best in terms of sustaining long term supply, is to farm Flax. In order to do this, you need to construct a Farm, which can be found in the Advanced Production build menu.

Once the farm is constructed, you can plant Flax and harvest it for a more regular supply of Fiber. It does require maintenance and a villagers aid, but if you play to play for the long haul, it’s a worthy investment.

When you are navigating the different construction menus of ASKA, highlighting a locked building will tell you the requirements needed to unlock that building. One requirement, at least for much of the latter game buildings, is the Carpenter.

Bonus Tip: Be Careful

As you first need to build a Workshop Pit before you’re able to apply the Carpenter addon, be very careful where you place the Workshop.

Make sure, when you are constructing the Workshop Pit, that both of the sides of the construction are Green. This means the land is viable for construction.

If you place the Workshop Pit and at least one area is red, you will waste part of the construction and will not be able to build an addon.

How To Unlock & Build The Carpenter

In order to construct the Carpenter building, you first need to build a Workshop Pit. You can find the Workshop Pit in the Advanced Production section of the Build (B) menu.

Once you have constructed the Workshop Pit, you then need to upgrade it to the Workshop Hut. Upgrading this structure unlocks the ability to build addons.

Highlight the building and select the “Open Workshop Hut Menu” (T), to bring up the upgrade interface. Under the Upgrade section look for addons. You will find several options here.

This is where the Carpenter is built. You may need to build other addons first, to unlock the Carpenter, such as the Metalworker, but that’s all you need to do.
