Core Keeper is a cozy, indie dungeon-crawler with surprising depth and complexity. From base building to inventory management,starting background selection to skill build, the game throws a lot of mechanics for players to learn and master. Scavenging and crafting important resources to grow your base is one of the key gameplay loops inCore Keeper.
As you keep playing, you’ll require various materials to upgrade your base and unlock new buildings. While you’ll have no issue acquiring most of these resources, a few will have you scratching your head trying to figure out where you can get them. This guide will show you how to get Planks easily inCore Keeper.
Where to Get Plank in Core Keeper
In the underworld ofCore Keeper, there’s no way to obtain Planks naturally. Occasionally, you’re able to find this resource in some boxes or chests, but the chances are slim. UnlikeTin, which can be foundwhen exploring, the only reliable way to obtain Planks is to craft them in the Table Saw.
To craft the Table Saw, you’ll first need tocraft a few other things, starting with the Copper Workbench. It’ll cost you 8 Wood and 6 Copper Bar, which shouldn’t be a problem if you’ve been gathering resources in the early stages ofCore Keeper.
Build the Electronics Table using 8x Wood and 8x Copper bars from the Copper Workbench. Interact with the Electronics Table, and you’ll get the option to build the Table Saw. To make this workbench, you’ll need 8x Wood, 5x Copper Bar, and 5x Iron Bar.
Iron Ore, which you’ll need to craft Iron Bars, isn’t easy to come by in the first biome. You’ll need to reach The Forgotten Ruins before this crafting resource becomes available.
If you’ve got the resources ready, unlock the Table Saw and set it on your base. Interacting with the Table Saw opens up the Wood Cutting crafting menu, where you can convert 1x Wood to 1x Plank. But there’s one more step before you can start making Plank inCore Keeper.
You’ll notice that the Table Saw, just like the other crafting tables from the Electronics Table, requires electricity to function. So you’ll need to make a Generator and connect it to the Table Saw using Electrical Wire to start using it. Once that’s done, you can head to the Wood Cutting crafting menu by interacting with the Table Saw.
Place the Wood from your inventory into the crafting slot, and the Table Saw will start turning them into Planks for you.
Where to Use Planks in Core Keeper
Here’s a list of all the buildings and upgrades inCore Keeperthat require Plank as one of its crafting resources:
Apart from the Cattle Transport Box, Plank isn’t really needed for any early-game item in Core Keeper. So, if you’re still in the first or second biome,focus more on crafting better weaponsand armor to make your character stronger for the later stages ofCore Keeper.
