How do you get clay from a clay tile? I don’t see an ‘extract clay’ option in the & menu anywhere and if I dig a pit I just get rocks and soil.

Extracting clay is done through the construction menu, " \* ". You need a shovel as well, I believe.

Wow. I seriously hadn’t noticed the \* menu existed. Thanks.
