Point of this game?
I just started this game and I must say that I am lost... I have chopped countless trees/pushes, collected stones/flints, mushrooms, flowers and killed some Greylings (some creatures), boars, lizards. I build a house with bed, workbench, torches and so on. Now I just roam around my house and collect more wood, stones and materials and there is nothing much more to do, It is getting boring.... Any advice how to continue or what this game have more to offer?

There is a small glowy stone with red runes on it at the starting area, near all the other big rocks. Touch it, it will place an objective on your map. Start with that

Path one: keep on exploring, claiming territories, building, repairing or recycling old structures, enjoying passed time.

Path two: read rune stones, listen to Hugin, keep on exploring.

Basically, exploring new locations will unlock new materials and new recipes, allowing to explore newer locations, and complete menial tasks faster, etc.
Well it is a survival crafting game in early access. There are other things to do and a path forward but that path is largely a variation on what you have already done in different settings.
It's Minecraft with a kill list. This isn't just about surviving. This is a hunt.

Look for altars you can interact with that give you hints as to what is an acceptable offering in order to summon one of The Fallen Ones. There are also red glowing runestones that direct you to said altars, which can be found adjacent or inside keeps and dungens. Vegvisir are special runestones that uncover boss locations and mark the closest location of the relevant boss on the player's world map.

I don't get "gamers" like this OP.

Did you not speak to the giant raven with an exclamation point over it's head, explaining the basics of the game to you? Did you miss the boss stones, literally where you start the game, suggesting at an overall objective?

Do you have google to research the game or read the store page description? You must be an Iphone gamer. God.

The raven tells you the game plot. In a nutshell, you work a zone (eg, meadows) until you can defeat its boss safely and move on to the next one. The bosses have offended odin or thor or something and you were hauled here in your afterlife to put them in their place.
Game isn't done, but you can kill bosses in the meadows, black forest, swamp, mountain, plains, and mistlands. Each one is significantly more difficult than the last.
That expands to learning to make new food/gear with new materials in each area and learning how to deal with each new enemy type. Also a key part is base building, which is a mix of function (you must have a base to craft and make progress) and beauty (some people spend months on an exotic base).
Bases can be attacked and destroyed when you are near them, so it is worth some time to learn how to prevent that using raised/lowered terrain or other techniques.

Thank you for all who kindly were telling me who to approach this game! I literally wanted your advice for this game and not wanted to search from google etc. All of your responds were very helpful and informative, so thank you very much! I´ll continue to exploring and adventuring fort. Happy new year to all!

just ask again when you are lost, the clue are cryptic so you might not get it the first time

but yeah start with the altar where you spawn and touch the red rune

This. You must often follow Hugin's instructions quite literally. You can review the messages in the log that can be opened by clicking the raven icon on interface.
