When nearby the colony the player can access its stockpile by pressing I and take items from it or move items from the player inventory into the colony stockpile. Then right click the banner base, right click with the banner tool selected (hotkey 2) or press C to open the colony menu and recruit Colonists. The first thing the player should to is craft several Beds and place them down. Inside that area no monsters will spawn but outside in the red area Zombie will spawn at night. Around the banner a green area will be shown, this is the safe zone of the colony. Using the Banner Tool the player can place down a Banner and thereby start a new colony. At the bottom of the screen is the Command Tool, Banner Tool and the player inventory hotbar. When all inventory slots are full any additional blocks just get destroyed and wasted.

Holding down LMB the player can remove blocks from the world and collect them in the inventory.

After starting a new world the player is free to move around using W, A, S, D keys.
