Assemble the base
Get wood, make a workbench and starting tools. Find the stone and prepare more convenient mining tools. While it is still light, look around near the start and remember the landmark. Don't go far without knowing how to get back: losing direction at the beginning is often more dangerous than lacking resources.
Prepare your shelter
Before dark, set up a small closed room. It can be a simple house or a room on a slope. Close the entrance, illuminate the available space and check if there is an open passage at the back. If you can make a bed, use it for sleeping and a spawn point. Sleep conditions depend on the mode and the presence of danger nearby.
The morning after the first night
Start with food, item storage, and a clear route to resources. Do not take your entire supply of materials on your first dangerous outing. Mark the path to the base and leave backup tools. This order is not a speedrun: it helps you master survival without constantly recovering from losing things.
