Guide
Start with these player actions first. This is the chapter route, not a keyword block.
Use the Harpoon: pull nearby resources in before spending time on distant islands.
Good enough for basicsKeep Wood and Metal moving: these are the two early resources named by the current community route.
Good enough for basicsProtect the food supply: use the starting food loop, then work toward a steadier source such as the community-reported Crab Trap.
Good enough for basicsImprove the raft: make the base safer before a long sailing or island trip.
Good enough for basicsSet the next build goal: work toward Sawmill, Crab Trap and Map Radar as the run allows, checking current unlock text in-game.
Good enough for basicsDelay optional detours: classes, codes and risky islands matter less than stabilizing the first run.
Good enough for basicsGuide
A compact table for scanning goals, risks and next actions.
| Goal | What to do | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Use the Harpoon | Pull nearby resources in and learn the collection timing. | It starts the official resource loop without an early island trip. |
| Bank Wood and Metal | Keep both supplies growing before optional builds. | The community route identifies both as the core early crafting resources. |
| Stabilize food | Use the available food loop and work toward a passive source. | Food pressure can interrupt every other beginner goal. |
| Improve the raft | Create a stable base before long exploration. | A safer raft gives the run room to recover. |
| Choose the next build | Community route: Sawmill, Crab Trap, then Map Radar as resources allow. | This sequence solves repeat resource, food and navigation pressure. |
| Prepare for danger | Add defenses and weapons before raids or risky islands. | Preparation lets you choose fights instead of reacting late. |
| Explore with a reason | Use navigation information and return with resources or progression value. | Random sailing costs time and can expose an underprepared run. |

Guide
Use the Harpoon, keep Wood and Metal coming in, stabilize food and improve the raft before committing to risky exploration.
Slow down, learn what resources are nearby, start raft safety and avoid committing to a dangerous route too early.
A current community guide recommends Sawmill and Crab Trap as early priorities, followed by Map Radar. Treat that as a practical route, then confirm current unlocks and costs in the game UI.
Focus on resources, raft stability, defenses, weapons and cautious exploration. Treat exact day-by-day routes as still being checked.

Source note
This chapter keeps the route useful now and labels details that still need gameplay proof. Exact stats, coordinates, recipes and hidden mechanics stay out until a player can check them cleanly.
