It is full of surprises, you'll meet lots of unfamiliar creatures and even ones that look familiar may be more dangerous than they seem. In your first games, you'll not only uncover the map, you discover the game. It's easier to learn while exploring, and less frustrating to die before you have settled down and put a lot of effort into building a home. You should go down to the caves early on to collect light bulbs so you can craft a lantern, a refuelable light source that can also be dropped while still emitting light.Įventually, you will want to settle down and establish a base camp somewhere. This is also a good time to burn trees for charcoal. However, a better alternative is to use two torches so you can still explore during night.

If your light shines far enough, you may chop down trees or mine a rock. Time to cook and eat some food (pick it from your inventory and hold it over the fire). Pile on another log, or (at most) two, that will be sufficient to last you until dawn. When dusk turns into night, you'll need three grass and two logs to make a fire. Don't stop just because it's getting dark! You can keep at it well into dusk. Pick up more grass and twigs (at least five each), also pick any berries and pluck all carrots you happen to come across. Before nightfall, you should have chopped a tree or three. As soon as you have your first flint, fashion an axe.
