Overview
Start with the journal, then let the item loop teach the rest of the game. The early path is mining copper, smelting bars, smithing gear, planting crops, and selling or upgrading around the bottleneck you feel first.
First Session
- Mine Copper Ore until the first mining journal task is ready.
- Smelt Copper Bars and keep enough fuel for the next smithing recipe.
- Craft Copper Sword or Copper Shield before pushing deeper combat.
- Plant the starter crops and keep Compost for longer grow timers.
