There is no shortage of resources in Survival: Fountain of Youth that can ensure that players not only survive the remote islands they find themselves on, but start thriving in their new lives. With that said, some resources will be far easier to come by than others, depending on the biome you are currently exploring, and some are restricted to just a few distinct areas throughout the game.

One of the rarer resources players will be on the hunt for is Clay, which is only available in a select number of locations in the early stages of the game. While it isn't included in as many crafting recipes as some of the more common materials around the islands, it is still quite an important one, which is why players will benefit from knowing how to get Clay in Survival: Fountain of Youth.

Where To Find Clay in Survival: Fountain of Youth

Clay is quite a rare resource in Survival: Fountain of Youth, and won't show up on the game's map like more common items like Sage or Big Branches. However, there are some distinct locations players should be wary of that will have Clay available to acquire.

To find Clay in Survival: Fountain of Youth, you will need to find areas of the map that are marked Water Source. The best way to find these is to climb Cartographer Trees and map the area to reveal the location of important materials and resources.

Water Sources in Survival: Fountain of Youth are areas where rainwater is being caught and can be consumed and collected for the player's survival. What is distinct about these areas is that they are catchments that are enclosed in walls of clay. It is around these areas that pieces of Clay can be located, much like a solitary Stone or Coconut can be found laying around. Players should ensure they are thorough when walking around the Water Source, as pieces of Clay will be found in more areas than just the entrance to the catchment.

Clay is a particularly heavy resource, weighing in at six units per piece , so players should ensure they have crafted a bag to increase carry weight and lightened their load at their base.
