Solarpunk first-quest walkthrough explaining each early objective, what it unlocks, and what a new player should do next.

Most Important Quests
- Plant and water a berry bush matters because plants only grow when watered and raspberries are the early food anchor.
- Craft and read the survival guide matters because it puts progression information into the UI.
- Build and place Research Table matters because research opens water, animals, power, tools, and airship upgrades.
- Craft and place a rain collector matters because clean rainwater is the safest early drink source.
