Yes !! Now I can cut down a tree !! This part of your reply told me what I needed to know "scroll so that the axe is highlighted in the toolbar. then hold down left click with the mouse cursor over the base of a tree nearby the player, so the player can reach the tree (the base is where the collision area is). The tree should break after a second or so and will appear in your inventory." The only thing being that the Tree did not really "break," it just disappeared.

I checked the Inventory and there's a square that said 102 on it. When I click on it, the word "tree" appeared at the bottom of the matrix of squares. I'm not sure what the 102 means, but it may have incremented to 103 when I chopped down another tree. I like chopping down trees.

Now . . . what do I do with the trees I have cut down and how do I do it?

Sorry for the late reply. That is great to hear! I'm glad you got that figured out. The number next to the item in the inventory is the amount of it you have(you start the game with 100 trees). With the trees you can currently do two things: place them back down in the world where you want them to go, or use them to craft other items and blocks.

In order to place the tree back down, make sure it is in your toolbar where you can scroll to select it. In order to move the trees from the matrix of squares(the inventory slots) to the toolbar, left click on them so they are highlighted and then left click on the slot you would like to put them in. If you want to move the trees, or any item, one at a time instead of all at once, right click the slot you want the selected items to move to. Then when you are out of your inventory you can select the trees in your toolbar with the scroll wheel and right click to place them down in the world.

You can also use the trees to craft other items and blocks in the crafting menu, which is the group of 6 slots on the left side of the screen. The 4 slots forming the 2x2 grid are the ingredient slots, the slot with the hammer icon in it is the tool slot, and the last slot is the output slot. Move items into the ingredient and tool slots using the recipes provided on the Feed-X website homepage. Then the output slot will have an item appear in it. When the output item is taken from the output slot, ingredients used in the recipe will disappear from the ingredient slots, as they were used to make the output. Try out some of the recipes and let me know how they work.

Ahh. I can now place the trees back in the playing field and I can place them in the crafting array. I checked the recipe and I think I want two trees and a hammer in the crafting array. I did that. Now . . . how do I get that recipe to produce the desired wood block in the output square? And then, how do I get the wood block onto the playing field?

Wonderful to hear. To place down the wood block in the playing field(the world), it is the same as the tree. For the crafting recipes, it might not be working because it matters what the position of the items are at within the slots, but based on your description it sounds like you didn't put an axe in the tool slot. The hammer that you described is there to be an icon representing that a tool should go in the slot. In the case of the wood block recipe, an axe needs to be put in the slot where the hammer icon is. Then the wood block should appear in the output slot as expected. let me know if this answers your question or if you meant something else that I didn't clarify.

I'm making progress. I'm able to place some blocks.
