A Stone Axe swung at abandoned wreckage, broken rowboats, small crates, and barrels on the beach returns Nails whenever the struck object contains visible metal. The salvage takes no tool upgrades and works on the starter island, so a shoreline sweep around the first beach covers early-construction nail demand without pulling a single Copper Ore out of the mining queue.5252Why this matters. The first few structures a player builds (a Bonfire, Workbench, storage containers, and a Smelting Furnace) burn through the first two or three stacks of Nails quickly, and Copper Ingot is the same input that gates the Fast Travel Bell (10 Copper Ingots) and the Shovel (3 Copper Ingots). Using beach salvage for Nails reserves every Copper Ingot the Smelting Furnace produces for those gatekeeper items, which in turn opens the rest of the early-game loop. Once Foothills Iron Ingot comes online, the trade-off fades, but for the starter-island hours the salvage sweep pays back in saved copper every single run.5454Sweep routine. The efficient pattern is to run the perimeter of any new island with a Stone Axe before walking inland: every beached hull, half-buried rowboat, cluster of crates, and barrel along the tideline is a potential nail drop. Pair the sweep with a mining detour only once the beach yield tapers; this usually holds the early camp through the first dozen ship-gear upgrades before Copper Ingot demand for ship hulls forces dedicated mining runs.5656Nails vs Steel Nails5858Nails are the basic copper or iron fastener used for early structures, gates, and ship hull bracings. They are not the same item as Steel Nails, which are a higher-tier fastener used in later building pieces and upgrades. Recipes call for one or the other specifically, so keep both on hand once steel production comes online and do not expect one to substitute for the other.6060Details6262Properties6464PropertyValueWeight0.2Stack1006666Crafted By6767Crafted at: Workbench6969IngredientQuantityCopper Ingotx17171Unlocked By7272The iron variant unlocks through the Discovery system, which also opens iron tools, station upgrades, and larger ship cannons.Iron crafting becomes available after reaching the Foothills and mining Foothills Iron Ore.7474Where Found7676AcquisitionDetailCrafted at Workbench1 Copper Ingot, or 1 Foothills Iron Ingot, per craftBeach salvageStrike shoreline wrecks, crates, and barrels with a Stone AxeDisassemblyBreak down Broken Blade, Worn-Out Pistol, and used Hull bracing mods
