A little about the game

Start with a backpack and a clearing, then turn gathered resources into a working factory. Connect production, research new discoveries, and defend your workshop as it grows. Build and power the woodland beacon to become good neighbors with the forest.

Your first few minutes

Choose Settle into the woods for a new clearing, or take a stroll through the sample factory. Hold left click on a resource to walk over and gather it, then open Craft with E. The Field guide (H) explains your next steps.
