After gathering enough rocks, plant fibers, sticks, and wooden logs, players need to build a Crafting Table or Crafting Station.
After depositing all the newly collected materials into the crafting table by "Pressing F", players will need to select all the crafting material needed for the intended crafting item by "Pressing E" and use the "Mouse scroll button" to increase or decrease the amount. Once the right quantity of materials is selected, players can open the crafting menu BY "Pressing X" and unlock any crafting item that is enabled.
EDGE OF DAWN becomes much more DANGEROUS when the sun sets. Players will not survive long without fortified shelter. Most players will not have enough time to build a fortified log cabin on the first night. Players should try to at least build a tent surrounded by fences or barricades to avoid dying in their sleep or sneak attacks.
In order to craft high-level weaponry, players must melt down iron ore that was gained from mining large rocks. Iron ore can be deposited in forges, that will morph the material into metal ingots.
In order to craft the crossbow or long bow, players will need to find enough silk strings. Silk strings can be obtained by killings large arachnids, or by looting small village huts.
How to defeat the Dragon:
The dragon will periodically fly around scorching the earth, looking to prey on anything that catches its attention. While outside the dragon can not be killed, once its health gets low the dragon will flee. The only way to stop it from fleeing is to attack in the cave where it sleeps. The crossbow and longbow will be very important for this battle.
JULY DEV UPDATE
Due to a known bug, Edge of Dawn no longer appears as Early Access. I know many of you would like to get your hands on Edge of Dawn as soon as possible, so I’ve decided to adjust to a full release in order to shorten the delay. The release date is now July 15, @1:00pm CDT.
