Tips and Guide

So you're new to Hurtworld and are trying to keep from dying, or being steamrolled by other players around the map. Here's some **Tips and Guide** to help you make your life easier. I suggest to start off with the Getting Started Guide, which will help you out immensely.

## Starting Solo?

1. As you spawn, you'll want to get some Basic Resources going. Grab everything you can pick up including  Wood Log,  Flint and  Stone.
2. Once you have 7  Wood Log, 5  Stone & 5  Flint you have everything you need for both a  Flint Hatchet and a  Stone Pickaxe, the basic tools for harvesting.
	1. With your newly acquired  Flint Hatchet you can hit the randomly spawning Logs, which will drop up a random amount, up to 10  Wood Logs at a time, doubling your harvest potential (and giving you a chance to find  Amber which will be important for later).
	2. With your  Stone Pickaxe you'll be able to harvest the Rock/Flint Nodes, which gets you into Mining, and will open up  Iron Ore,  Clay,  Coal as well as increasing your drops of Flint and Stone (and even finding random drops of  Amber).
3. You've probably gotten hungry by this point so you're going to need to find food, either by Hunting, or Farming. Farming will be a bit simpler since you can just find and eat  Owrong and plant the seeds. With hunting you'll need to build a  Basic Spear, or a  Wood Bow +  Arrow (Or Both). Personally I suggest going with the spear (especially if you're going to be more peaceful).
	1. Hunt  Shigi which can be found basically everywhere, by crouching, getting near and then throwing your spear (R to raise to throwing) just over their head so with timing you'll get some drop and hit it's head.
	2. Hunt Gavku in the meadows, with a  Basic Spear. You can run up and attack 3 times before they go down, and they tend to not do much damage, which you can heal up in less than a minute.
4. The Animals will randomly drop  Raw Steak, which you can eat on the spot or cook with a  Campfire to make  Cooked Steak. Cooked Steak will greatly lower your  Hunger bar.

## Made Some Friends?

1. Have some people you can count on? Good, you'll want to start with the above and then once you've amassed a large quantity of Resources/Loot you're going to want to start Building so that you can come back in the future and still have your stuff.
2. With Building you'll need to have someone on the team build a  Construction Hammer, which will open up the Building Menu. Secondly you're going to have to build an  Ownership Stake. Wood is going to be hugely important if you're just starting, and with 20  Wood Logs you can start turning that into Materials, namely  Wood Planks. Of course you're going to need a ton of wood, so get on your teammates and get that harvester team-machine moving! You'll also need to make  Cement to have a  Foundation.
3. Put down some foundation and then place the  Ownership Stake. Authorize yourself (and your Team) which will allow you and only those who have authorized to build in the nearby area.
4. Build! Seriously knock yourself out.
5. Once you've got a place to call home, make sure you have a function-able  Wooden Door, and everything is in the build area, otherwise your enemies can come and destroy your beautiful walls and enter your casa. If you have enough Resources to spare, you'll want to build a secondary door, as a fail safe, in case the first door has been breached by  C4, or enemies sneaking in. (Trust me, the worst is having enemies breach your place and begin tearing the place down, and losing everything, because you didn't have a fail safe.)
