New Home involves — and takes you to Bone Cave.

• Bone CaveLocation

  A dark cave with remnants of long-dead animals. Used to be a temporary shelter for travelers... until the permanent resident settled in.

What your character writes in the journal as the quest progresses.

With a new friend by my side, I'm ready to leave the Bone Cave.

I need stronger tools and hopefully I have enough flint to make them. But first, where should I build my workstation?

I have to learn the Blueprints for the Stone Furnace to begin smelting ores.

I should listen to the message from Icarus on my radio station.

I need a storage chest (and more than one) - I can't carry everything on my back! That reminds me, I need a decent place to sleep too…

This seems like a good place to establish a new home.

Now I can use the Stone Furnace to smelt copper ore into a copper ingot.

Finally, I need a radio station which will connect me to the world... well, at least it will let me hear what Icarus has to say.
