On the first day in a TC world you are of course going to do your normal vanilla gathering but there is a bit of a twist. At some point later on you are going to need a LOT of sand, gravel, and clay in order to build your smeltery, so once you have your wood and basic stone tools I would advise you set off in search of a place where sand and clay are readily available such as close to a marsh biome the coast or a jungle river. On your journey feel free to slaughter any critters you come across for food and wool so when you find your settlement you can get straight to building your house.
Once you have your first home set up and plenty of wood and stone on hand you will be ready to create the basic tinkers workspace. So make yourself a crafting table if you haven't already and then just drop it in your crafting square in your inventory and make yourself a Crafting station like so.
The crafting station is a basic upgrade to your average vanilla crafting table. When set next to a chest the crafting station will show you the contents of that chest making it easy to pull things out for crafting and then put them back in. This makes for a nice clean clutter free inventory. In addition the crafting station also holds any items you put into it so if you are working on making something and realize you are missing a piece all you have to do is walk away. That's right, no more worries of your stuff dropping all over the ground! When you return to the crafting station your items will be right where you left them making it much easier to finish the recipe you were working on.

The next thing we are going to need to make is a blank pattern. So what we need to do is make ourselves four sticks and four wooden planks. Once you have the sticks and planks open your normal crafting inventory or use a crafting station or bench and put a plank in the upper left hand corner a stick below that and to the right of it then place the final plank next to the bottom stick. You have made a sort of X shape out of the sticks and planks like so.
Blank patterns are the most basic and important blocks in TC. From these will make make our basic tinkers setup and the early forms of every single tool and weapon available in TC. We're gonna need quite a few of these so go ahead and make around a half stack if you have the materials on hand if not try to get at least 10 made so you can finish your tinkers workspace and make a few tools.
Now that we have our blank patterns made let's go ahead and make the rest of our tinkers workspace. You will need 4 blank patterns one chest one crafting table one wood plank and one log. put your patterns into your crafting station and then place each item in individually. One pattern plus a plank will make you a stencil table. One pattern plus a chest will make you a pattern chest. One pattern plus a crafting table will make you a tool station. One pattern plus a log will make you a part builder.
Now set these down in your home any way you want them but try to be sure your part builder is next to your pattern chest and your crafting station is next to a double chest in order to achieve maximum efficiency.I generally set down a double chest then the crafting station then the stencil table then the pattern chest then the part builder and finally the tool station like so.
Congrats you now have your first tinkers workspace. Join me again tomorrow for a more in depth look at each of these pieces and the building of our first tools and weapons.
Until then!
