Your first actions after spawning
Step
When you first load in, you are standing in an open forest with nothing. Work through these steps and you will have a real foothold before the first day ends.
- Collect wood hit nearby trees until you have a solid stack of wood.
- Pick up stone grab stones off the ground to round out your starting materials.
- Craft tools make the basic tools your wood and stone allow.
- Build a shelter once you have enough materials, put up a simple structure to protect yourself from wildlife.
- Secure food forage for berries in the forest or start a small crop farm so hunger does not catch you off guard.
Mining underground
Tips
The forest floor gives you wood and stone, but more advanced crafting requires ores that only exist below ground. Keep your farm running while you mine so food stays stocked while you are busy underground.
- Craft your mining tools on the surface before you dig.
- Surface materials and underground ores serve different crafting purposes, so you need both.
- A working crop farm above ground keeps you fed during long mining sessions.
