Tutorial?

[Merlin69]

As a New player I could do with a tutorial for this. Managed to get a fire going with a torch but what to do with the torch-now in my hand? How to build a cabin, nothing in the crafting menu that tells you?

Yeah it's a lot of trial and error. There is a HELP option but it just explains the basics. Go to your inventory. Select crafting. These are all the things you can make without a station. Now run around and gather up enough stone and wood to make an axe and pick axe. Now go get some stone, and wood with your new tools. Next gather plant fibers. Make rope and get yourself a bow. Now make some arrows. Remember the plant fibers. Make more rope and get a lasso. Now grab a horse.

By now you can craft a Mallet and should be pretty mobile. The Mallet has a radial menu on all you can craft. Building is very Trial and Error hard to manage sometimes right now.

You can get most stations by making the basics (Tannery, Saw, Stone Forge). Those all lead to new items. Also each tool has the same radial menu so... hammer, and farm tool, and trough, all work with different materials but in the same way. Good luck!

A Rust video on crafting might give you an idea or two. It's pretty much the same.

Forget about it my friend, when they decide they will simply delete the server and also everything you spent playing for hours and hours, the minor bugs are repaired the hugeee ones are part of the game. Don't waste your time, change for subsistence, it is a really good game.

Thank you sandrastarling very helpful but Dr Pilantra Subsistence is an awful game, far too hard even on easy mode for new players, Out of Reach, The Long Dark and No Mans Sky are far better imo.

play on single player server to get basics down is the best way

There are a lot of resources around that help new players. The guides section, Youtube, funcoms own websie and last and the worst are these forums.

Most of the time I like tutorials as well, but I rarely get frustrated if they are not in a EA title. I'd much rather have developers work on content and issues first.

As already mentioned you might want to do SP until you get the basics under control.

I'm playing SP -why do we need a server for SP? My firewall doesn't like this game-wonder why is there something amiss with the server system here?
