Sieving

So you have a small island, you have a steady amount of trees and you are able to get cobblestone, whats next?

Next is starting to get ores by sieving! You start with a Chicken Stick which can mine cobblestone to get gravel, gravel to sand, and sand to dust. But first you need a sieve in the first place, to get a sieve you need string, while collecting trees you have probably received an item called a "Silk Worm," It is recommended you make a separate tree(s) for this so you can chop wood while the silk is infesting.

With your "Waila" (the top part of your screen that pops up when you look at a block), you will be able to see when a peice of leaf is infested, once a decent amount are infested you can grab your crook and mine it to get string, to get your first sieve you only need 18 string.

Once you start sieving you are ready to move on to your first automation, but first MORE DIRT!
