The first resource you'll come upon will be wood, and that will be all you need to get started after your character emerges from their mystery pod.

Make some torches, a pickaxe, and the workbench right immediately using the basic crafting available in your pack menu. Everything else can wait a little longer because you'll need a few more critical things and improvements before you can move much further.

Begin digging through the walls around you, looking for anything sparkly. This will provide you with soil and ore, allowing you to create your furnace at the workbench. This allows you to melt the copper ore to enhance your pickaxe and construct a sword to deal with any slimes you come across.

However, don't be in a hurry to access all of the crafting resources right away because you can get a lot done by starting simple.

You'll come across lots of naturally occurring food, but it's not nearly as effective as the health benefits and added bonuses that come with learning to cook. After you've created the cooking pot at the workbench, you can combine ingredients to create dishes that boost your speed, and max health, and even make you shine while replenishing your health bar.

And if you want to constantly have fresh ingredients, create a hoe to clear off some farmland and plant the seeds you'll surely pick up on your travels. Next, make a watering can and fill it with water from the nearest underground lake, and you'll have crops ready in no time – everything grew faster than we imagined.

Slow-moving slimes may not seem like much of a challenge, but if you come across a large group, things can rapidly get out of hand. They not only do a startling amount of damage, but if you die, you'll have to return to that region to regain almost everything you had in your pack (only equipment and whatever was in your quick bar will respawn with you). That could involve gathering more resources simply to fight your way back in and reclaim your land.

Take things carefully at the start, and don't rush into battle. You'll be able to manufacture armor eventually, but don't put it ahead of keeping the rest of your tools in good working order.
