Materials and You by Skyla is a book that you automatically receive after loading a world for the first time since installing the mod. It is used as a method of displaying the tools, materials, forge and how to get started in Tinkers' Construct. Since the release of Tinkers Construct to 1.10.2, the book is no longer split into several Volumes and is therefore much shorter but better organized. It also updates if the original copy is altered [due to an update or other reason (including, but not limited to adding extensions, such as Mechworks)].
Welcome to the first edition of Materials and
you: surviving the first day and beyond. Within
these pages you will find the first steps to
making the tools and materials you need to
survive.
The first step in making tools is crafting a
Blank Pattern. It is a blank slate to stamp a
shape onto, providing reference for future
creations. The patterns are shaped on the
Stencil Table or are used as tabletops.
You can then shape a material in a Part
Builder with the pattern, then combine parts in
the Tool Station. Patterns can be stored and
accessed in a Pattern Chest.
Together these make the Tool Workshop. It is
recommended you keep all of these nearby when
using any of them.

==== Oreberry Bushes
====
Sometime in your travels you will happen upon
the bush known as the Oreberry. They grow
underground in dark areas, and require close
to complete darkness to produce anything.
The berries can be melted down into nuggets
and ingots, making them an invaluable source
of metals.
==== Slime Channels
====
Slime channels are useful for moving items or
entities around. They are used as a sort of
easily placeable water and can be paired with
bounce pads for best effect.
Survival[]
A few traps or blockades may help with your
early survival experience.

Smeltery[]
Once you're established you can begin to
process metals in a more efficient manner. The
scope of the Smeltery is beyond this volume,
but a few recipes will help you get started.
Note: The Smeltery is required to process all
metals, including Iron

Obtaining[]
As stated above the book is automatically received after loading a world for the first time since installing the mod, but if you lose your copy you can always craft a new one.
If you ever find yourself without this book, a
new one is simple to make. Other books can be
made from this one aswell.
