Hey it's me Daden,
Im the creator of this guide. I'm looking forward to helping you to understand this game. This guide is not remotely done, but I will constantly add new things. I'm still not a veteran at this game, but I understood the concept... after a while. This should shorten this time and get you faster to the fun stuff.
If you find any mistakes, and im sure you will ;), or you just have a question, write a comment and as soon as I can I will answer it.

1. You just started the game, now you want to start playing it. To do that just click on the "New Game" button.
2. Now just press create and the game will automatically create a New World.

1. You started the game and now you see a bunch of stuff, you see your base and your workers. But what now?
2. First select one of the workers, by using LMB(left-mouse-button) and then press on an empty feald near it, using RMB(obvouisly right-click). Thats the basic mechanics of the game and we will use this a lot.
   
3. Now select him again but then send him to a tree. Now you will see a small log, wherever your pointer is. Drag your pointer to the base and press RMB again.

Thats the basic mechanics of the game and we will use this a lot. For now just let the worker do its job, while we go on on some different stuff.

1. To get more workers, that we gonna need, we need to build houses. In order to do that, go into the building menu by pressing "b" or clicking on it in the lower left party of the screen, alternatively you can also press "4" or clicking on the house-icon in your hotbar.
   
2. Now place it somewhere (I recommend near the base) with LMB. You can also rotate it with "r", but this will be only useful later in the game.

Here is some extra info about houses:

• Houses can be build on scaffolding blocks.
  
• They need a space of 3x3
  
• Houses can sell things for coins.
  
• You can upgrade them to Lvl 5.
  
• The higher the upgrade the more workers can live in it.
  
• Depending on the level of the base you can create the number of houses

Here is some extra info about workers:

• Workers can be used to transport things.
  
• There are different types of workers.(more on that later)
  
• Most of the building need workers to operate.
  
• You can use workers to increase the speed of buidings

1. Now gather some stones. By again LMB a worker, RMB a nearby stone, RMB the base.
   
2. To go on you want to place a lumber mill(I recommend near some trees).
   
3. You should see a big gear on above the lumber mill, click it to and select planks as a recipe
   
4. Now select a new worker and let it feed wood into the lumbermill
   
5. To use the created planks you need to feed them into the shared inventory, in order to do that select a worker and hover over the lumber mill and LMB the small plank-icon and then RMB the base.
   
6. Slowly but sureley you should start do get some planks.
   
7. If you gathered 5 planks and 5 stones you should be able to upgrade your base. To do that just click on it and click on upgrade in the bottom right corner.

Here is some extra info about the lumber mill

• The lumber mill can be used to produce planks and paper.
  
• It uses wood(water for paper) as input.
  
• It needs a minimum of one worker to function

Here is some extra info about the base

• The base is the heart of your game.
  
• It contains a big shared inventory, that grows as you upgrade it.

1. After you gathered some additional planks you can go on and place chutes
   
2. Equip the chutes either by pressing 3 or going into the build menu
   
3. Click somewhere near a resource you wanna have and drag it to the base. You can rotate them by pressing r. Make sure that the chute isn't going up because if it is it'll get back to its origin.
   
4. now instead of letting the worker deliver the items to the base tell him to deliver it to the chute by RMB on it.
   Here is some extra info about the chute
   
   • The chute is a faster way to transport resources
     
   • It can only work if its going down or stays on the same level
     
   • Chutes are relatively fast and very useful at the beginning of the game.
