This is just a quick little guide on what to do, when you start off.

Create your character.
Make a name in the well/Choose gender/Get your outfit put on.
(Do not forget to grab the Dream and Bread. Anything else is useless to be honest)
When you go up the ladder/Down the Cellar you will end up somewhere. Now you're thinking .. What do I do!?
Find a tree and LeftClick it, than RightClick on "Pick Branch" Get one, than goto a bolder and use "Chip stone" Make a Stone Axe.
After thats done, you're going to want to Obtain the skill "Animal Husbandry" So. You have a few choices. you can Buy LumberJaking and cut down trees/Clear Space for a settlement.
After an hour you should be ready and have the Skill Animal Husbandry.
Now for this step you will need the following sklls.
/Animal Husbandry/StoneWorking/LumberJacking/Farming(Unless you can get straw somewhere else)
Use a Plow>Ground>LayStone>ChickenCoop>
Making a chicken coop gives you chickens=Food & Bones etc.
Once you get food all that work should gave you some points. Than work on your Settlement.
P.S Always better to have Friends to play with. MUCH EASIER
