How to Collect Dirt in Enshrouded

You would think finding something as basic as Dirt would be a simple task in Enshrouded, but it turns out it’s more complex than it seems. If you need help collecting Dirt for crafting at the Kiln, we have you covered with this guide.

How to Get Dirt in Enshrouded

Before you can collect Dirt in Enshrouded, you must first craft a Pickaxe or a Rake. The Pickaxe is preferred, considering it’s available earlier in the game and much easier to make. All you need is 1 Stone, 4 Twigs, and 1 String to craft a Pickaxe from the crafting menu. Here is how you can find each of the necessary materials to craft a Pickaxe:

• Stone: From rocks on the ground.
• Twigs: Found from small bushes.
• String: Crafted from the Resources section in the Crafting Menu with Plant Fiber, found from plants.

Once you craft yourself a handy dandy Pickaxe, all you need to do is equip it and hit the ground. Doing so will collect Dirt and add it to your inventory. Most plots of land will reward you with Dirt unless it’s too rocky or below the Shroud. Using the Pickaxe on the ground below the Shroud will reward you with Mycelium instead.
