Gamma correction is disabled, on purpose, and you won't get a steady supply of torches until well into the game. And there are terrifying Infernal mobs that can do nasty things to you. Expect to wall yourself in a hole in the ground during the night until you get your first bed. Torches will be in short supply until your first [[Coke Oven]] when excess creosote, wool and sticks can make torches in quantity. (Tip: to have only a tiny bit of orientation in your absolute dark dirt shack, press F7 to know where the floor is). If you're lucky and find a coal vein, you can smelt the ore to make coal for torches. There is also a guide on the [[Questing Mechanics]]. Coal may drop from Small Coal Ore, but it's not a guarantee. One of the first quests offers five torches in exchange for wood, which you are strongly advised to pick. |

Pick up any [[Garden]]s and berry bushes nearby. Hang onto a few of each garden and break extras for some early food. Do *not* jump or run unless necessary. Until food is renewable, hunger is a real problem. Build stairs up/down between your house and farm if they're not level as soon as possible, and between commonly traversed destinations. |

Close combat with most mobs is likely to end in your death this early in the Stone Age. Avoid or cheese whatever you can, and run away from everything else. Many hostile mobs have dangerous abilities. Punji Sticks, Quicksand, Natura Berry Bushes or Cactus all make for good defensive barriers. Once you have a bed, sleep immediately as it turns to night (6:32pm). This will prevent hostile mobs from spawning and ruining your day. |
