Tips & Tricks
When starting the game, first look for some wood and stone on the ground. Make sure to build a Primitive Pick and a Primitive Axe from your personal crafting menu, accessed by pressing. These are necessary to start gathering ore, which is essential to move forward. Next make sure to craft some type of quick weapon, for example a Bow and some Arrows, followed by the incredible strong Slingshot. Then build the different crafting tables.

Pay attention to your crafting recipes. You will unlock new recipes as you level your character.

Death in-game is not permanent, but you do lose your inventory. Create a Sleeping Bag or Bed to activate a respawn point, otherwise you will respawn in the area "near" the location you died.


 * Remember to destroy crafted items you don't intend to return to, such as early crafting stations. Otherwise the server gets populated with junk.*
