How to survive the first hours 
Tutorial for Vintage Storywith Pictures

1. Look for reeds at waterfronts, harvest them and craft hand baskets (10 cattails or papyrus) and reed baskets (24 cattails or papyrus), to be able to store more items. If you're using a knife, you'll also cut their roots, which are edible when cooked. Hand baskets have to be placed into one of the bag slots in order to unlock additional inventory slots.

4. Seek shelter in abandoned buildings (modded server feature) or underground, to keep yourself warm and sort your items in peace. Make sure to seal rooms off with a door or solid blocks, else you may continue to freeze.

5. If you spawn in winter, you may have to craft a weapon and hunt for prey right away to survive. Be careful, since some animals may attack back!Harvest animals with a knife. Once you've gathered some meat, you should cook it using a firepit, to make it edible. Use grass and craft a firestarter to start a fire.

9. You can try to destroy tree branches to sometimes get acorns (modded server feature), which can be processed & roasted into a 'handful of acorns'. Check the in-game handbook for further instructions on how to do this. Some traders will sell wooden boards which you'll need to craft the bucket that is required for this.

10. You can place torches on the ground or walls, once you've found a good spot for building. Light prevents mobs to spawn nearby at nighttime. Use a 'temporal gear' from your inventory (hold down 'RMB' while selected and look at the ground for some time) to set your respawn point. NOTE: On the server, this has to be repeated after you have died 4 times, else you'll return to main spawn the next time!

11. Stay inside shelter at night time, to avoid stronger enemies. Craft a hay bed to skip nights if needed.
