Survival Island is known for its unforgiving environment and limited resources. Building tools and weapons is essential for your survival, but sometimes you have to work with what you have. Making a poor axe can be a game-changer when it comes to gathering resources and defending yourself against the dangers of the island.
So, how can you make a poor axe in Survival Island? It’s relatively simple, but it requires some patience and ingenuity. The first step is to find a suitable base material for your axe head. Look for rocks or stones that are sturdy enough to withstand repeated use. Once you have your base material, you’ll need to shape it into a rough, axe-like form.
Next, you’ll need to find a suitable material for the handle of your poor axe. Look for branches or sticks that are long and straight. You want a material that is durable enough to support the weight and force of the axe head. Strip off any leaves or bark from the branch or stick, and then attach the axe head to the handle using vines or other flexible natural materials.
While a poor axe may not be as effective or durable as a proper one, it can still serve its purpose in Survival Island. It may take more effort and time to gather resources and build structures, but with a little creativity, you can make the best out of a difficult situation. Remember, survival is about adapting and making the most of what you have.
Collecting Resources
To make a poor axe in survival island, you will need to collect several resources. These resources are essential for crafting the axe and progressing in the game.
Wood: Start by collecting wood from trees. Approach a tree and use your bare hands to punch it. This will yield wood logs. Collect as many logs as possible as they will be used to craft the basic tools needed for survival.
Stone: Next, you will need to collect stone. Look for large rocks or boulders scattered around the island. Use your hands or any other tool to break the rocks and collect the stone fragments. These stone fragments will serve as the blade of your poor axe.
Fiber: You will also need fiber to bind the stone fragments together. Look for tall grass or shrubs and use your hands to gather fiber. The fiber will be used to tie the stone fragments onto a wooden handle.
Note: It is important to be cautious while collecting resources. Keep an eye out for any dangerous animals that may pose a threat to your survival. Also, be mindful of your stamina, as collecting resources can be tiring and draining.
Once you have gathered enough wood, stone, and fiber, you will be ready to craft your poor axe. Follow the crafting recipe and combine the resources to create the axe. The poor axe may not be as efficient as other tools, but it will be sufficient for basic survival tasks.
Gathering Wood and Stone
Gathering wood and stone is essential for making a poor axe in survival island. Wood is a key resource that can be found by chopping down trees with your bare hands. Look for trees with a brown trunk and green leaves, and approach them to gather wood.
Using your bare hands to gather wood may take some time, so it’s recommended to make a wooden pickaxe as soon as possible. To do so, collect a few pieces of wood and convert them into wooden planks in your inventory. Arrange the wooden planks in a crafting table to create a pickaxe. This tool will help you gather wood faster and more efficiently.
Once you have gathered enough wood, it’s time to collect stone. Stone can be found by breaking apart gray boulders that can be seen scattered around the island. Use your pickaxe to mine the boulders and gather stone. Stone is a crucial ingredient in making the handle and the blade of a poor axe.
Keep in mind that both wood and stone are heavy materials, so make sure to manage your inventory space accordingly. Drop any unnecessary items to make room for the wood and stone you collect.
Now that you have gathered enough wood and stone, you can proceed to craft a poor axe. Refer to the crafting recipes guide to see the exact pattern for creating the axe. With the poor axe in hand, you’ll be able to chop down trees more efficiently and gather even more resources for survival on the island.
Tip: Remember to always have a spare pickaxe on hand, as they tend to break easily. It’s also a good idea to gather extra wood and stone for future crafting needs.
Happy crafting and survival!
Crafting the Axe Handle
Once you have gathered enough resources, it is time to craft the handle for your poor axe on the survival island. The handle is an essential part of the axe, as it provides stability and allows you to wield the tool effectively.
To craft the axe handle, you will need three wooden planks. These planks can be obtained by finding trees on the island and using an axe or your bare hands to chop them down. Once you have gathered the necessary wooden planks, follow these steps:
Step 1: Access the Crafting Menu
Open your inventory and access the crafting menu. This can usually be done by pressing the “E” key on your keyboard or by tapping the appropriate button on your screen if playing on a mobile device.
Step 2: Arrange the Wooden Planks
In the crafting menu, you should see a 3×3 grid. Place the three wooden planks in a vertical line in the middle column of the grid.
Note: It is important to arrange the wooden planks exactly in the specified pattern for the recipe to work.
Step 3: Retrieve the Axe Handle
Once you have placed the wooden planks in the correct pattern, you should see the axe handle appear in the result box of the crafting menu. Click on it or drag it to your inventory to retrieve it.
Note: Make sure you have an empty slot in your inventory to store the axe handle.
Now that you have crafted the axe handle, you can proceed to attach it to the axe head to create your poor axe. This will allow you to start chopping down trees and gathering more resources to survive on the island.
Building a Simple Shaft
One of the first steps to making a poor axe in survival island is building a simple shaft for the axe head to attach to. The shaft will serve as the handle of the axe and needs to be sturdy enough to withstand chopping and cutting tasks.
To start, find a strong and straight piece of wood that is long enough for a comfortable grip. Look for a branch or a fallen tree that has a diameter of at least 2-3 inches.
Step 1: Selecting the Wood
Inspect the wood closely for any signs of rot or damage. You want to choose a piece that is in good condition and free from cracks or splits. The wood should be solid and dense.
If necessary, use a knife or a small axe to remove any bark or other debris from the wood.
Step 2: Shaping the Shaft
Once you have selected the wood, start shaping the shaft. Use a knife or an axe to remove any small branches or knots from the wood. Make sure to create a smooth and even surface.
You can also use sandpaper to smooth out the surface of the shaft if desired. This will make it more comfortable to hold and reduce the risk of splinters.
Step 3: Attaching the Axe Head
Once the shaft is shaped and smoothed, it’s time to attach the axe head. Place the axe head on the end of the shaft and line up the holes in the head with the shaft.
Insert screws or nails through the holes to secure the head to the shaft. Make sure the head is tightly attached and doesn’t wobble or loosen.
After attaching the axe head, give the axe a few test swings to make sure it feels comfortable and secure. If necessary, make any adjustments or secure the head further.
And there you have it! You have successfully built a simple shaft for your poor axe in the survival island. Now you’re ready to start using your axe for various tasks such as chopping wood, building shelters, and gathering resources.
Shaping the Handle
Once you have found a suitable piece of wood for your handle, it’s time to shape it into the desired form. Start by removing any bark or rough outer layers using a knife or a sharp stone. This will provide a smooth surface for you to work with.
Next, use a saw or a hatchet to cut the wood to the desired length. Make sure the handle is long enough to provide a comfortable grip, but not so long that it becomes unwieldy. A good rule of thumb is to create a handle that is about as long as the distance from your elbow to the tip of your middle finger.
After cutting the wood to the appropriate length, it’s time to shape the handle. Use a knife or a woodcarving tool to remove any excess material and carve the handle into a comfortable shape. Round the edges and create a gentle taper towards the end of the handle to provide a secure grip.
Optional: Adding Grips
If you want to add some extra grip to your axe handle, there are a few options you can consider. One option is to wrap the handle with paracord or leather strips, which will provide a comfortable grip and prevent slipping. Another option is to carve grooves or ridges into the handle for added grip.
Remember to sand the handle once you have finished shaping it to remove any rough edges or splinters. This will not only make it more comfortable to hold, but it will also help prevent any injury while using the axe.
Creating the Axe Head
The first step in making a poor axe in survival island is to create the axe head. The axe head is the main part of the tool that will be used for cutting and chopping wood.
Gathering Resources
Before you can create the axe head, you will need to gather the necessary resources. In survival island, you can find stones or rocks scattered around the island. These stones can be used as the material for your axe head.
Look for large rocks that are hard and durable. These rocks will be easier to shape and sharpen into the desired axe head. Collect as many rocks as you can carry or store in a safe location.
Shaping the Axe Head
Once you have gathered the rocks, you can begin shaping the axe head. Find a flat and sturdy surface to use as your workspace. You can use another rock or a hard piece of wood as a tool to shape the axe head.
Start by selecting a rock that is roughly the shape and size of the axe head you want. Use your shaping tool to carefully chip away at the rock, shaping it into the desired shape of an axe head. Pay attention to the cutting edge, making sure it is straight and sharp.
It may take some time and effort to achieve the desired shape, so be patient and take breaks if needed. Keep working on the rock until you are satisfied with the shape and sharpness of the axe head.
Sharpening the Axe Head
Once you have shaped the axe head, it’s time to sharpen it. To do this, you can use another rock or a hard piece of metal. Hold the axe head firmly and carefully run the sharpening tool along the cutting edge of the axe head.
Make sure to maintain a consistent angle and apply even pressure while sharpening the axe head. This will help create a sharp and effective cutting edge. Take your time and continue sharpening until the cutting edge is as sharp as possible.
After sharpening the axe head, inspect it closely to check for any rough edges or unevenness. Smooth out any imperfections with your shaping tool, ensuring that the axe head is balanced and ready for use.
Now that you have successfully created the axe head, you are one step closer to making a poor axe in survival island. In the next steps, you will need to attach a handle to the axe head to complete the tool.
Making a Basic Blade
In order to make a basic blade for your axe, you will need a few simple materials and tools. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you create a functional, yet simple blade:
1. Find a suitable piece of metal or stone that can be shaped into a blade. Look for a sturdy material that can withstand the pressure of chopping wood.
2. Once you have found a suitable material, use a chisel or another sharp tool to shape it into the desired blade shape. Start by marking the outline of the blade on the material and then slowly chip away at it until you achieve the desired shape.
3. Once the blade shape is formed, use a file or sandpaper to smooth out the edges and make them sharp. Be sure to remove any rough spots or burrs that may make it difficult to use the axe.
4. Next, create a handle for your blade. This can be done by finding a sturdy piece of wood and shaping it into a handle shape that fits comfortably in your hand. Use sandpaper or a carving tool to smooth out the handle and make it comfortable to hold.
5. Once you have both the blade and the handle prepared, attach them together using strong glue or by drilling holes in the handle and threading the blade through. Make sure the blade is securely attached to the handle and that it does not wobble or loosen with use.
6. Finally, test your axe by using it to chop small pieces of wood. If the blade holds up and chops effectively, then you have successfully made a basic blade for your axe!

Refining the Blade
Once you have gathered the necessary resources for your axe, you can begin the process of refining the blade. This step is crucial to ensure that your axe is effective in chopping down trees and harvesting other resources.
Crafting a Flint Blade
Before you can refine your axe blade, you must first craft a flint blade. Flint is a common resource that can be found by mining gravel or breaking gravel blocks. To craft a flint blade, follow these steps:
- Collect at least three flint pieces by breaking gravel blocks or mining gravel.
- Open your crafting table grid or inventory crafting grid.
- Place the three flint pieces in a vertical line in the grid, filling the middle column.
- Retrieve the flint blade from the output slot of the crafting grid.
The flint blade will serve as the base for your axe and will make it more effective at chopping down trees and breaking blocks.
Refining the Axe Blade
With the flint blade in hand, you can now refine the axe blade to improve its durability and effectiveness. Follow these steps to refine your axe blade:
- Open your crafting table grid or inventory crafting grid.
- Place the flint blade in the center slot of the grid.
- Surround the flint blade with two sticks, one on each side.
- Retrieve the refined axe blade from the output slot of the crafting grid.
The refined axe blade is now ready to be attached to a wooden or stone handle to complete your axe. With the refined blade, your axe will have increased efficiency and durability, making it an essential tool for survival in the island.
Note: If you are unable to find flint or need a more durable axe, you can also refine the blade using iron ingots or diamonds, depending on the resources available to you. The process is similar, but the materials used will differ.
