Tips, tricks and general direction for a newbie
So far I'm loving this game. And that isn't something I thought I'd say even seeing this game look different. I've never been a huge base building guy (although that's changing it seems which is nice) so this was a nice surprise. I've built a cozy little home bigger than what you would first repair and take shelter in but it's about time to move and expand. I've made leather armor and defeated my first troll. So I have full leather apart from my troll helm. I've defeated my first boss (the electric deer...can't remember his name) and I'm glad I can finally be able to mine. I can't figure out how to sacrifice his trophy though despite our raven friend telling me to just sacrifice at an altar with no specifics. And it doesn't work when I try. Apart from wanting to move and build a much bigger home, I haven't learned how to build anything new apart from the base mat stuff you start with. I can start mining...but my current focus is moving by the river/lake so that when I'm ready to go off on a raft I can return home relatively easy. And before I build a new house I would really like new parts/materials to work with including the ability to decorate which I also cannot do. I know a lot of this I could google or go to YT but I'm trying to keep that sense of discovery if that makes sense. Assuming each world is built the same and isn't randomized where do I go to get base building stuff? And one final thing...is there a way for me to learn to make better (bigger) chests? I already have a lot of chests scattered in the home I have and it'd be nice to either have more personal inventory space or bigger chests...or both. This is an incredible EA game so far though. I don't remember the last time I've had this much fun with one. Thank you to the devs if you see this! And sorry for the long paragraph. It's just now starting to feel a bit overwhelming without upgrades outside of my crafting table.

A silly tip for lumbering when you really want to keep those berry bushes undamaged;
Just throw down a workbench, build a small construction over the bushes, then cut down every tree standing around without worry.

You put the trophy on the hook, not the alter.
All maps are randomly generated with a seed number.
Larger chests come later.

Ah ok I wondered why there was a seed number. I figured maybe it could be randomly generated but wasn't 100% sure. Where is the hook located? Good to know I'll eventually get larger chests. Now I just need to find how I can build better houses. Thanks! You put the trophy on the hook, not the alter.

Where you first spawn in are large standing stones with carvings on them.
Place the electric deer head on the deer looking ones hook.
That will energize it so you can use its power.

so without spoiling but giving tips.
for eikthyr's trophy. go to the original world spawn and hang it on the hook on the stone with the deer pic.
if you're fighting trolls you're on the right track. keep exploring.
grab everything! you'll unlock recipes by picking it up its ingredients, so pick up everything. as recipes unlock check your workbenches and hammer for those new things you can make, and then make them.
yes there are bigger chests and more building options.
organization is your friend. i typically keep a few chests near my benches, rather than having a warehouse. tip: you can use the 1x1 floor as a sort of shelf to stack your chests.

I had no idea that I could stack chests. That'll be useful for me right now until I can make a house with some real space. Yeah I was right next to the Black Forest and unknowingly built my house right next to it so I had to be extra careful around that troll. It was frustrating...I had just trapped and tamed a boar and he came to kill the poor thing and destroyed my fence. I don't know how to farm resources from animals yet anyway without killing them but at least I learned how to tame. And better a boar and fence than my house...so I'm glad I kept him away from it and eventually killed him. I'll go to the spawn point and hang that trophy up then. Thank you! so without spoiling but giving tips.

You get new parts to build with by finding new materials. So whatever resources are available to you, make sure to grab to find out what you can make with it. For mining, you'll need to build a smelter, for what can be built with the processed ore. Different trees drop different kinds of wood, so you need to chop them down to get the option to craft with the wood they drop.
That's one tip I wish I'd learned right away. Sample every resource. That's basically how you progress in this game.
