Use your [[JourneyMap]] to set waypoints.
 
*[[Village]]s - scavengeSource forof usefulsome [[Pam's Harvestcraft]] vegetables, [[Tinkers Tools]] parts, wool, materialsbookshelves, Witchery books, [[Smeltery]] blocks. Note any interesting trades for later. Once you can make Golden Lassos in [[LV]], you can bring back [[villager]]s to your base. Note that if you skip the quests for the smeltrySmeltery (and don't to craft it), you'll lose out on some quest rewards.
*Stonehenges - These [[Hazard#Stone Circle|Stone Circle]]s can- Can have chests or droppers with good loot. Beware of witch spawners!
*[[Hazard#Obsidian Totem|Obsidian Totems or Obelisks]] - 1x1 spire of obsidian or floating pillars in an obsidian circle - avoid these. May be surrounded by difficult to kill mobs.

*Clay - Source of Bricks for [[Steam Age]] Machines, [[Grout]] for the [[Smeltery]], and [[Firebrick|Firebricks]] for the [[Bricked Blast Furnace]]. Often found in rivers and lakebeds.
*Vanilla clay - Rivers and lakebeds have clay - gather all/as much as you can. To make mining less frustrating, make a cobblestone wall around the outside of the clay patch, and fill in the water with sand/gravel. Then mine it all out. Otherwise mining underwater can be pretty frustrating since no infinite water means the water drains, pushing you around. Or you can try breeding clay bees.
*Gravel - Source of flint for crafting tables, furnaces, chests, and early GT tools and mortars. Gravel is also used in [[Grout]] for the [[Smeltery]].
*Gravel - Initially you will need gravel for flint tools, but once you start mining you'll have plenty from that. Later you can forge hammer cobblestone into gravel or sand.
*Stained/Hardened Clay - Source of clay dust in higher quantities than regular clay. Mountains and layered mesas have clay; mesas have more but with larger color variety. Initially used for [[Firebrick|Firebricks]], save these locations for a [[MV]] source of [[Alumina]] and [[Silicon Dioxide]].
*Mountains/Mesas - Look for mountains with stained clay - good source for mass quantities of clay dust instead of vanilla clay once you build a macerator. Layered mesas contain more clay, but has different colors.

*[[Pam's Harvestcraft]] [[Garden]]s - Source of some [[Pam's Harvestcraft]] crops. 8x each are required to be submitted for the [[Healing Axe]] (passive hunger/saturation regeneration axe) quest. Don't break them, gather them instead (rightclickright click). YouNaturally can plant them backspread atover yourtime base andwherever they willare spreadplanted. Once you have 3-4, then you can break excess. For those who hate the Hunger Overhaul/Spice of Life, there is a quest for collecting every Pam's garden that rewards a [[Healing Axe]] that restores food.

*Marble - Source of Magnesium and Calcite
*Red/Black granite/Basalt/Marble - Ok for building since it has good blast resistance. Black granite can be difficult to see. Gather a few stacks of granite when you see it; you will need it later.

*[[Lootgames]] dungeons: Minigame single-room dungeons. Provides LV-MV loot.
*[[Lootgames]] dungeons: These are large green cube areas underground with a simon-says minigame inside. A great source of loot for early game, with good chances of really useful stuff.
*[https://thaumcraft-4.fandom.com/wiki/Tainted_Land Tainted Land] - purplePurple, slimey and covered in fibrous taint. Spreads rapidly, only halted by water or air, and hazardous to cross. Avoid building near this biome, and/or turn off taint spread in the [[Thaumcraft]] configs. It's exceedingly hard to clean up early game.
*[https://biomesoplenty.fandom.com/wiki/Mystic_Grove Mystic Grove] - these are an easy sourceSource of glowflowers, which can be grown/processed later into renewable glowstone[[Glowflower|Glowflowers]]. Watch out for poison water pools.
