Thankfully, you can get Wood easily by chopping some trees or branches using an axe or alternatively, you can also purchase wood directly from Robin at the Carpenter’s Shop. Make sure to obtain enough Wood because it will take 30 Wood to build a dehydrator.

To get the second resource, Clay, you will need to mine some Clay Nodes present at Ginger Island Dig Site or you can also get Clay by cracking some Geodes. Lastly, Fire Quartz can be obtained from the mines in the Skull Cavern or you can also get it inside a Magma Geode or Omni Geode.
