Why This Order Works
The order forces you to touch every foundation system without overbuilding too early. Raspberries cover food and some thirst, the pickaxe and axe open resources, the hoe starts farming, the crafting table unlocks more recipes, and the research table starts long-term progression.
Do Not Overbuild Early
| Temptation | Better Move |
|---|---|
| Huge house first | Build only enough shelter and pathing to support farming and storage. |
| Too many machines | Add energy before powered automation. |
| Random airship trip | Finish water, food, bed, and storage before following airship goals. |
| Decorating before storage | Save decoration packs for after crafting and material sorting are stable. |
