Note, as this guide is an in depth guide there will be a LOT of numbers. Any of these things can be avoided if preferred as this is a guide showing what I personally do and isn't a complete walkthrough of the game as it is technically a sandbox game.

1. Get to Main Island or Bento Island as these islands (not the players on them) are best for resources.

2. Harvest many trees, bushes, currently 8 stone, and a bunch of leaves and start crafting. Make 3  handles, and 2 medium handles. Craft the leaves into hemps, ropes, string, ropes, strings, and etc. to get your crafting skills up.

3.  Now, take the stone and craft all of it into cut stone. These will be combined with the handles to make an axe, a pickaxe, combine a handle with a string to make a fire starting bow,  a medium handle to make a spear, collect a 2 string of which one you combine with the final cut stone to make a knife, and use one medium handle to make a long rod. Also, make a bucket by combining a rope and a small bush stump as water isn't always available.

4. Now, make some random buildings that you'll need later. Make a hut (Wall+Wall+Large Leaves), a Mill (Wall+Wall+Large Leaves), a Granary (Wall+Wall+Large Leaves), and finally a Lumbermill (Wall+Wall+Wall+Large Leaves). Note, if you can't make one of these I suggest you make some tools/things that you won't need and leave'em.

5. Now, make some boats, make some basic rafts which are made with a hull, make some large rafts, a large hull, to get your boat skill up and then finally make a sail boat, a hull, a small tree stumps, a sail.

6. If you're on bento island, store all boats but one (preferrably a bad one) and travel to the main island as you're on it, collect some oil from the lake. If you're on main island already, store all of your boats and collect some oil from the lake. Now, go to the mud and harvest a lot of it. Make the piles of mud into large piles of mud and those into mud walls, combine 2 mud walls with large leaves and you have yourself a well (basically infinite water as you can store your well and then unstore it for the water in the well to replenish.) Note, this isn't necessary but collection of a bit of clay is recommended as if you do, you can make a lantern.

7. Now, go to a cave and if you did collect some clay use it to make an oil filter and filter some oil, collect some sand, burn it, collect a handle, and make a lantern! In the cave, there's hopefully iron, if there isn't relocate yourself to another nearby cave.

8. After mining the iron, smelt it, collect some rocks, make some rock walls, get some (2) wheat from a nearby island you can sail to using a boat or maybe from a friendly player nearby and create a thatching to finish off the recipie for the forge!

9. Now, it's time to travel to rockma. As you get there, go into the cave with a lot of iron and set up your forge there. Mine some more iron and use the sticks to get as much handles for tools as you need. Smelt the iron and get yourself a set of iron tools!

10. Get s'more iron and also some coal from another area on the island. Now use it along with the iron to make some steel for a some more tools and maybe even a flint and steal.

11. Now head to _____ island. You should go to the _______ in the ________ where there's some mithril, and make yourself some mithril tools.

That's it! That's an indepth guide on how to survive.
