Stone Mansion, Pick Axe and other problems

[Exiledtexan09]

Ok..some minor things are driving me crazy. First, attempt to eat food that is supposed to raise STR and my con or something else goes up..not sure what I am doing wrong. Is the WIKI no longer accurate? Boar and Beef roasted and I still end up with something other than str going up.

Next..Damn Stone Mansion. So I found metal, I smelted it, I have metal bars, and still I can not build a stone mansion. Not even available in my menu's. Not sure what else to do..do I have to build something else first?

Third, a damn Pick Axe. So..I assume I can not make one in tin, since it did not appear in any or my menu's either. Iron? Which I imagine takes higher STR to mine. LOL...damn it..

you must discover stone (that one for sure you've got), straw, block of wood, board and bar of bronze/iron/steel. you probably have discovered bar of tin/copper and that is not what is needed.

pickaxe can be made of bronze/iron/steel. it doesn't have to require more str to mine iron.

Again, check the wiki. A pick axe needs bronze, iron, or steel, the three 'hard metals.'

The tile hardness is random and comes in nodes just like everything else. The type of ore on the tile has nothing to do with it. Thus, you have three types of mining related nodes underground: stone/ore Q, tile hardness, ore nodes (tin, copper, iron, etc).
