The tricky part will be getting fine wood to build the tool it takes to get fine wood.

Tricky but not impossible.
The best thing to remember is you are in Swedish pergatory. You have forgotten all you knew and by being very aware of your surroundings, picking everything up, hitting everything. Playing with everything you will learn much, relearn much. As for food, it is verrry important and anyone who says it isn't probably doesn't play the game or is giving you a gentle troll (the only gentle troll in the game). You will die much from not keeping fed, even at your base just doing a little work.
There are three main bosses in the game - arrogance, ignorance and trees, so many trees.
Keep your volume up, dunna be playin no personal music as the game gives clues and warnings.
So with that young Valheim warrior, go forth and enjoy.

I disagree, since some realy important aspects of the game are not explained.

Some important things to know OP;
- You dont need any food or water to survive at all.
- Food is only needed to increase HP, Stamina, and health regeneration.
- You wont die nor take any damage or debuffs from not eating, nor is sleep needed at all.

There are buffs and benefits in the game that you might want to explore, but i wont spoil them for you ;)

You have a valid point. There are details to this game that are hard to figure out on your own. I once watched a YouTube series where a guy must have played a hundred hours before he realized that he could repair his stuff instead of making new stuff.

I myself played over 2000 hours before I found out that I wasn't really running and how to do it (Someone told me.) It also took me a long time to figure out how to access the skills list (discovered that myself.) I had no clue about running. I thought I WAS running when apparently I was just switching between walking slow and walking fast. I'd see others in videos who were able to run faster and jump higher and chalked that up to my sub-par computer. I had no idea that I was missing something.

On the whole, I think it is more enjoyable to discover these things for yourself. It's much more satisfying. YouTube's Lawla Leyshon [] is a good example. She is "learning the game by playing the game and comments from you guys." She's enjoying the heck out of it. I enjoy watching her speculate on how things work and, more often than not, she guesses correctly. Figuring things out is half the fun in this game.

So I'd advise a newbie that if there was something you don't understand to keep poking at it to see if you can figure it out and only google up the answer after you've worn your brain to the bone.

+1 and try not to die

+2. Yes. Play Valheim, not the Internet. This is true of any adventure game. And try not to die, but it is better to learn by dying than to end up playing Google. ;)

Henry Stickmin is based on the joy of failure. It might be a good warm up for Valheim.

No and no.

what is core wood and how do i make or obtain it ?

The wiki is very helpful for questions such as these. Plus, you don't have to wait for someone to answer.
