You need workbench under a roof to be able to craft a new armor and repair tools.
To be able to sleep you need fire close to your bed. Also note that if fire is inside building, the smoke needs to be vented out.
Its a good idea for starting player to find a pre-made building somewhere in world, fix it and live in it till you upgrade your tools.

To be able to mine stone and smelt, you will have to kill 1.st boss (stone is next to your starting area and it will tell the location).

I wont spoil it more than this, as this game is best played by discovering things yourself.

thats quite alright. i already refunded it. im not gonna play any more of this. it just feels very undone, and clunky and its frustrating.
I cant build the parts where i want them. i cant make the building i designed.
why does the bench need a roof? and why does the bed need a fire?
the bench needs a house and the bed doesnt? i cant place fire on floor, it needs to be ground. so you have a hole in your house. bc the fire needs to be near by.
none of this makes any sense.
and getting materials makes no sense either. for everything i need leather. which idk how to get and the game doesnt tell me, or give me any. i can hunt animals but they dont drop it.
then i get killed by six goblins that spawn next to my house, while i was in building mode.

this isnt fun, man -_-
this isnt a game to Play. this is a game to fight. I dont wanna fight the game. i dont wanna get frustrated.
this just isnt fun.
