Buying Food
Wow mutton is expensive here.
You need flour to make damper.
In wether like this it is hard to keep the mutton away from heat and ants.
Shelter
It’s a good idea to by a tent for shelter as it will protect you from the sun and keep you dry in rain. Blankets are good for keeping you warm at night.
Picking your type of mine
You need all of these things to do shaft mining.
I picked shaft mining. This will cost a lot of money.
