A small and easy guide to survive your first night.
Well, Before any thing my grammar isn't good so incase you didn't get any part or disliked any thing leave me a comment and i will respond to you as fast as i can.

Now let's see how to survive first night
First once plane crash you got 15 minute cause cannibals don't spawn or don't come near the plane or any place yet. collect food supplies and drinks from the plane and back side of the plane and the axe from the dead woman.

What you to do in this part is the following stay away as far as possible from jungle and find either a good hill that you can enter from one side or a sea that you going to build near, Cause in jungle what ever you build they can climb up a hight tree and jump attack you from there and you will be one hitted by them.

Found a good spot ? Still in 15 minute ? now press B and make 3 defensive walls Don't stick them too much leave a space in the middle and leave a fourth place to come out from it, Go collect logs as fast as you can, You can carry multiple logs at a time. So this should make it easier, Warning in case you found cannibals don't attack them go hide at any place in case they followed you hold right mouse button to block till they get scared and run away.
Now once your done building the 3 defensive forts you might ask. They can still come from the way i come from the opening which is the fourth opened space that i didn't fill with defensive wall.
Here is the answer A camp fire put it right in the middle of that spot and watch out so you don't step on it they basically take shower in gas as i suppose so they are flammable once they try to attack you run to your camp fire and watch them getting burned.
An advice : I recommend you build the campfire that requires rocks cause it stays long long time and it's fire range is medium it don't attract them.

Now you still didn't considered survived your first night yet. once you make sure you got a safe point built and waiting for you to run to it in any time. Make a saving camp that you sleep at and save at. and take it slow don't go out when they are out, And collect logs and run to your camp 1 time by another when your finished with that small camp. Don't press Z along it's morning yet, Here you got two choices either go look for rabbits and lizards cause by each night you sleep the cannibals attacks increase so i really advice before you sleep get with your axe either a rabbit or a lizard so when you wake up you will be hungry and at this part you cook your lizard.
Also don't leave your food and walk away waiting for it to be ready cause it will vanish, So wait for it till show *Eat* and press E and done.

I hope i could help any one with this weak guide and small one.
I played for 6 hours till i figured out this is the best way for a trainee to survive in this game i tried it many times and it does work, I hope it helps any one out there who is trying to survive first night.

oddly this is how i survived finally. i stayed near the plane. i was able to jump back in whether by glitch or the rock in front of it i don't know. so i built the walls around the front of the plane. i placed a small tent inside the walls, cut down trees to build a trap that i used in front of the door to discourage cannibals. since i cut down a lot of trees around the base they didn't use them to get in. though they did clip through the walls sometimes. next day i setup 3 torch lights in the corners of the base to light up the place. also when cannibals come in you can knock them back into the fire for save measure. so now with walls, garden, light, campfire, i was able to start building anything else i could. i started a log cabin, but when i logged off it vanished though i only needed 20 more logs to complete.

Ye, If you don't compelete any type of building even when you save if you closed it will still vanish, And if you built an effegie it will still vanish even if it's compelete.
And i advice you don't build near plane cause the bug that they can't enter will be fixed.
And also how did u craft torches ?
