Early on you have figure few thing out by your self in way there is no tutorial. There few hints screen on few letter that basically telling your button command on your key board. IN most case you going start by break any thing you see. Root. Dirt. Any thing you find can help you make stuff early on.

You may have trouble with food relate stuff. Usually you slowly run out of wild plant on field. You going find your self making a small mushroom farm and killing some mushroom enemy for food. Also its good ideal to make a wooden fishing rod as back up plans if mushroom/berry/bomb pepper farm take to long grow. Soon or later you going to make cook pot to doing cooking relate stuff. Just for fill your character belly more and with food buff.

You have to make that copper workbench to be able to make a wooden fishing rod to catch unlimited fish from normal water. Any other strange water would need better fishing rod.

This game have habit of making you making better version from older workbench. Every times. Same rules apply to furnace. There for you going find your self mining often to upgrade stuff. Also it better to find any weapon that let you attack from far away. You probably going find some weapon from breaking loot boxes or loot some chest on the random field. Those weapon are usually better then the one you make out of any wooden weapon early on.

number 1 tip is don't ignore cooking. It gives you so many bonuses, healing, light, run speed etc. Experiment with the combinations and keep yourself constantly full and buffed.

Other than that just keep mining ore, smelting it, upgrading your equipment

Heres a tip, as a new player as well, "I have only killed the first 3 bosses" But holes are better then walls. To explain it better, Some mobs can break the Walls, but they can't run across the trenches you build, i would assume as you get higher you need to change it up a bit, but for the main area you build at, Dig a trench, it will stop the annoying mobs from wandering in, every 5 seconds :rage:

Don't be afraid to use the wiki a lot or even watch how other people play in videos. A lot of stuff is not obvious, like that you can paint the dirt chests a different color. I had basically done everything in the game before reading about that. Would've helped earlier on with sorting stuff and remembering where it all goes.
The hoe is extremely useful and should always be with you. It's like a better shovel in a lot of ways, you can remove mob-spawning tiles in a pretty big area with the higher tier hoes (Scarlet is the best one) so it's useful to hoe the ground as you explore to make the area less dangerous. You can hold shift or press in one of the analog sticks on controller to temporarily switch to your torches so you can place them. This even works if they weren't in your hotbar, so you don't need to waste a hotbar slot on torches.
Bridges are very useful for going over water or holes. The advantage over regular blocks is that they will not go past ground height, so you can hold the button to place them continuously as you walk and it will never build a wall in front of you.
Raise all your combat stats. It might sound weird, but even if you play Melee or Ranged, the increased Crit chance from leveling of the lower levels of Magic will affect you anyway, and some combat skills compliment each other, like both Melee and Ranged have a perk that will temporarily boost the damage of the other, so that you can switch from shooting from far away to going up and getting a few hits in while the damage is boosted.
Garden a lot, figure out the effects from food and make stuff that boosts your most important stats. You can also sell excess food for decent money, like you can combine two Bomb Peppers to make a Bomb Pepper Wrap and then sell that for a few coins. If you have a big field it's pretty decent money. Make sure you're harvesting with the hoe, plant fields in sizes that work well with your hoe so you don't have to click/use the hoe as many times. Make sprinklers as soon as you can, they are very much worth it.
Set up drills on every boulder you find ASAP as they'll be your main source of some of the ore types, and even late game certain things may need lots of copper or tin.
Pay attention to the secondary effects / stats on items more than the default overall stats. For example, the later game Lanterns are aimed at Mage and Summoner. They seem like they're better because they're made of better materials, but actually every Lantern in the game can be upgraded to have the same exact amount of light. So if you don't use Magic much you may instead want to stick with the Orb Lantern from the Scarlet tier and just upgrade it to improve its stats (including light output).
Unless they fixed it recently, the Iron tier is weirdly overtuned and when upgraded it tends to have the best raw stats, like Defense or Mining Power.
Farm the bosses to get lots of double chests and try to get organized well early on. Save at least one of most items you get in case they come in handy later.
The different loadout slots can be useful for having separate gear for combat, fishing, mining, etc. Make sure you have something bound to switching between loadouts, it's probably not bound by default. On controller you can use the dpad or left analog stick as four additional buttons instead of having them both be movement. Just pick the one you don't use and rebind it. FYI the movement is digital so the dpad isn't really any worse for movement than the analog stick, personally I prefer to move with the dpad and I put other binds on my stick.
When you first get ocean/desert/jungle gems, do NOT upgrade your armor with them, instead make the boss spawners with them, because those bosses all are guaranteed to drop 2 of their respective gems, so they become an infinite source of gems then. Just never let yourself run completely out so that you can keep making boss spawners. This is a late game tip but you'll regret it if you mess this up, the drop chance on the gems from non-bosses is *really* bad, like searching for hours to find a single one bad.
The bosses that have separate locators and spawners can be spawned without the locators if you know the general area they're in. For example if you wanna fight Pyrdra you can go into the desert in a place you've seen him before, place down the summoner. If it doesn't summon him right away, pick it back up, wait 30-60 seconds, repeat until it works. They have consistent loops they do around the map so if you don't wanna waste the resources on the thing that adds the map icon you can just do it blindly like this. Works best if you have portals set up in areas you know these bosses frequent.
Some weapons just aren't very good, especially if you play Mage. It's better to upgrade the Arcane Staff a bunch of times than to use most of the other options. I think Summoner is similar where some of the early-game minions are the best and you just need to keep upgrading them.
If you aren't playing Melee and don't need to use a Shield, I recommend getting a Rift Lens from one of the early bosses and using it as your Offhand item. It's basically a better version of the Feather that gives you a dash, plus it can go over holes in the ground and through fences and stuff, makes navigating a lot nicer. Very useful for boss fights as well. If you play on controller it can be hard to press the B button in combat to use it. On my 8bitdo Pro 2 I had some programmable back buttons and I made one of them a second B button so I could hit it without taking my thumb off the right analog stick during a fight. I think if you play with keyboard and mouse it has a much more reasonable default binding.

Honestly, all there is to it is make stuff, see what it does, and explore.

I won't have type giant wall of text. Some of these thing are better off for them self to figure it out them self and only give them info if user are kind a stuck at some thing.

I would say, once you lower the wall, try to progress your autominers up to solarite and build a full solarite set before going for titan bosses. Its actually pretty easy to find large nodes. Learn about "chunks" for mob farms and events, it'll help you find rare points of interest to make OP weapons, the only mob farm I would say is worth making is purple slime to make potions. Kill bosses multiple times until you get the drop you want. Level up all your skills, you benefit from some of them even if they aren't the class you mainly play. Food buffs are pretty OP, I usually eat 6-7 different food before engaging a boss. Save gear drops, even low level gear is good for some end game builds after you upgrade them. and reinforce your gear.

EDIT: also take advantage of loadouts. you can set it up where you autoswap a loadout based on the weapon you press on the hotbar.
