Now that you've got a [[world]] and a [[Blockhead]] to live in it, you'll need to take care of your Blockhead's basic needs. Fortunately, your Blockhead is not without [[Starting Equipment|resources]]. | Now that you've got a [[world]] and a [[Blockhead]] to live in it, you'll need to take care of your Blockhead's basic needs.

== First Steps == | |||
Before it can use anything more than what it finds, your Blockhead will need to [[Crafting|create]] various [[Crafting Surface]]s. To create them, it will need a [[Workbench]], which can be obtained from the [[portal]] if it carries a [[Blocks|block]] of [[dirt]]. This is easy to obtain, either by having the Blockhead beat on the ground until it gets one or by using the [[spade]] it should be carrying to do the same thing faster. Other [[items]] can be [[Harvesting|gathered]] in a similar fashion as needed. Now just tap the portal and "warp in" a Workbench. | |||

Like you, your Blockhead has a fundamental need for warmth, [[shelter]], and food. Satisfying those needs before nightfall is a good way to start. | |||

=== Warmth === | === Warmth === | ||
Some [[Climate|climates]] can get very cold, particularly at night. This can adversely affect a Blockhead. | |||
==== Campfire ==== | ==== Campfire ==== | ||
The first item you need to keep yourself warm is a [[Campfire]], a craftable item found in the [[Workbench]]. Placing your campfire in your [[Shelter]] will result in a happy Blockhead. But beware, campfires can also burn down any wooden structures placed too close to them. | The first item you need to keep yourself warm is a [[Campfire]], a craftable item found in the [[Workbench]].

Later in the game your [[shelter]] can be as elaborate as you want. For now you'll want to direct your Blockhead to gather the necessary [[:Category:Resource|resources]] with which to build a shelter. | |||
The easiest way to start is to dig out a cave. There is a [[spade]] among your Blockhead's [[Starting Equipment|starting equipment]] so digging a small shelter into a [[dirt]] hillside or just a hole down into the ground is quickly and easily accomplished. Just select the spade and then tap on the dirt blocks you wish to remove. This also provides your Blockhead with dirt blocks that can be used to [[Construction|build]] a roof, floor, or walls of a dirt hut instead of just a quick cave. | |||

Most standing sources of heat will also provide light, as will a [[portal]] or [[Basic Torch|torch]] until better sources become practical. Light does not inhibit a Blockhead from [[sleep]]ing. | ||
=== Food === | === Food === | ||
Eating food fills up your [[Blockhead|Blockhead's]] [[Hunger Bar|hunger]] and [[Health Bar|health]] bars. <!-- If used when the hunger bar is full it will fill a depleted [[energy]] bar instead. --> Remember, food is fuel and medicine. | |||
Your Blockhead will begin the game with a small supply of [[:Category:Food|food]]. Your options for adding to your food supply depend on the available [[:Category:Creature|creatures]], [[:Category:Plant|plants]], [[Seasons|season]], and chosen [[Veganism|dietary limitations]] of your Blockhead. Your Blockhead can kill creatures and or collect the fruits of trees and plants when they are in season. | |||
