I've been trying to get into the game the last few weeks with varying levels of success, this is <b>exactly</b> the kind of video I was looking for to give me some direction starting out!

Greatly amused at you looting the crossbow and then just ignoring it, despite how incredibly good it is at one shotting everything you faced afterwards. Would probably have saved a fair bit of time.

I wandered the first 2.5 days around to find a place to call home and did a few jobs here and there. At that point I was also somewhere around the point you were at the end. <br><br>But I must admit... my way was more relaxing.馃槄<br>Although it is quite nice to see what can be achieved on the first few hours.馃槷

I found that once you do this several times it becomes quite easy. The bicycle can be squeezed in there if everything goes right, but it's a whole other level.

small bonus on starter quests, if you use the axe on the small stones you normaly just pick up for 1 stone, they DO count for the later gather quest early.

Your magazine tip is a good one, so you can maximize chances on the ones you want. Never really thought of doing that. I usually just camp outside Rekt's side door near his red barn in the open, with two storage boxes down, a campfire on top of one and have a 3 block high single block cobblestone tower with some spike traps placed around the base as a fort if a feral springs you at night. I tend to play with only 25% loot so I don't often get everything on the first night.... usually the forge, wrench and the cooking gear is the priority. Put the forge down in the open near the tower. Just make sure its in your land claim area, not too close to Rekt, so you can pick it up again later. ;)

I enjoyed the video. The nice thing about this game is there are so many different ways a person can play. Thank you for sharing how you play. Sending love from Canada.

Definitely stack up to 75 forge ahead magazines before reading them. I didn鈥檛 know about this and it ended up taking me until day 46 to get a crucible. <br><br>Edit: It takes 90 mins for 1 in game day in my game btw.
