The metal in building mines is optional (boosts efficiency)

and it's buggy... Why do I need to build a huge mine that is going to take forever to build ?


I mean he is right we need metal to build an ore mine. IMO it is stupid . The game is not playable if you have a spot in the map with no ore and charcoal. Make the crates, craft tables, and basic extractors available with wood,but less efficient. Make ore and charcoal available anywhere on map !!!

You can trade for it.
Usually you can start by selling furniture and fish - if you have those - easiest ones to get good quantities at the start. That gives you cash to buy metal to build stuff with it like kitchen, which gives you more people to play with which allows you to buy more :)

Part of the game where trading is practically required to get started is fine with me :) Maybe a bit of tutorial would be nice to know you need to do it :p

Oh yes ,this game needs more tutorials.I know the game is in early development so I will wait and see.
