# Building your stash

To build a stash, run the command `/stash` and follow the instructions provided, or read on for more information.

### 1. Choose a terrain

To create a stash for the first time, you must select a [terrain](/pt/pixel-tycoons-games/our-games/collector-adventure/ca-core-mechanics/different-terrains.md). **Choose carefully - after you build a stash, there is no way to move it to a new terrain.**

When you have chosen the location, run the command `/stashlocation terrain`, replacing **terrain** with the name of the terrain you have chosen. Pay attention to capital letters - the terrain must be entered exactly as it appears in-game.

### 2. Build or stake the stash

Once the location for your stash is set, you have three options: stake a [stash NFT](https://wax.atomichub.io/explorer/template/wax-mainnet/pixeltycoons/533769) that you earned or purchased on secondary, build a stash by depositing five wood NFTs, or build a stash in game.

* If you own a stash NFT, follow the [instructions for staking NFTs](/pt/pixel-tycoons-games/our-games/collector-adventure/getting-started/stake-unstake-and-equip-nfts/stake-your-nfts.md). Once you `/sync`, your stash will be available at level 1 and you can begin using and upgrading it immediately.
* To deposit wood NFTs, follow the instructions for [depositing materials](/pt/pixel-tycoons-games/our-games/collector-adventure/getting-started/depositing-calories-and-materials.md#to-deposit-materials). Once you have deposited five wood, a stash NFT will be minted to your wallet. Stake this NFT by following the [instructions for staking NFTs](/pt/pixel-tycoons-games/our-games/collector-adventure/getting-started/stake-unstake-and-equip-nfts/stake-your-nfts.md). Once you `/sync`, your stash will be available to use and upgrade.
* If you choose to build a stash in-game, your collectors must contribute the materials. Run the command `/stash` to see which materials are needed - a level 1 stash requires 5 [wood](https://www.nfthive.io/template/265136).

When your have deposited five wood and your stash reaches level 1, a stash NFT will be minted to your wallet. Stake it by following the [instructions for staking NFTs](/pt/pixel-tycoons-games/our-games/collector-adventure/getting-started/stake-unstake-and-equip-nfts/stake-your-nfts.md). Once you have staked and `/sync`, your stash will be ready to use and upgrade.

### 3. Upgrade your stash

To add more inventory space, upgrade your stash with wood, granite, and clay. Check how much of each material is needed by running the command `/stash`. You can upgrade with materials already in-game, or by depositing NFTs.\
\
To upgrade, make sure the required materials are in your stash or any collector's inventory, use the commands `/stashwood`, `/stashstone`, and `/stashclay` and follow the instructions provided.  As soon as you contribute all necessary materials, your stash will upgrade to the next level.\

Stash storage capacity is as follows:

* Level 1 - 7 spaces
* Level 2 - 15 spaces
* Level 3 - 22 spaces
* Level 4 - 34 spaces
