Before you get Clay in Lightyear Frontier, make sure you build the following structures at your base.

You likely have the Assembler, but if you are missing the Grinder, go out there and gather those Aluminum Rods and Copper Wire. Once you have both, you can start working on getting Clay.

To get Clay in Lightyear Frontier, use the Assembler to turn one Stone Dust into Clay. The Assembler only needs a second to do this, even if you are turning multiple Stone Dusts at the same time.

To get Stone Dust, mine any old Stone you come across and feed it to the Grinder. The Grinder can turn one Stone into two handfuls of Stone Dust. Unlike the Assembler, the Grinder takes a minute to complete.
