Find flint or hard enough stones. <code>Sneak + Right click</code> on solid ground to create a knapping surface. Select what tool you want to make. We recommend an Axe and a Knife. Chip away the orange boxes until all are gone. You now have a tool head, combine with a stick to create the actual tool.
 
=== Storage containers ===
 
You only have 10 inventory slots in the beginning. For starters, expand your inventory with [[Crafting_Recipes#Stationary_Containers|stationary]] and [[Crafting_Recipes#Portable_Containers|mobile baskets]]. You need to harvest reeds which like to grow near lakes.

=== Food ===

Berries and Meat are your best bet on your first day. Meat can be harvested from dead animals with a knife, then cooked on a fire pit
 
=== Light / Cooking ===
 
Once the sun sets, you might want to create a fir pit as a source of light and for cooking. Get the following resources:
 
* Collect dry grass: Break tall grass with a knife in hands
* Collect fire wood: Break trees with an axe and put the axe and log in your crafting grid to create firewood from logs
 
Now <code>Sneak + Right click</code> on solid ground with the dry grass in hands to place a fire pit. Then <code>Sneak + Right click</code> with fire wood in hands to complete the fire pit.

Congratulations, you can now cook meat and create new torches by heating sticks.
 
=== Self defense ===
 
Be aware that in Vintage Story different weapons have different ranges. Use the knapping system to craft a spear or two. These are the strongest long range weapon in the stone age, but break quickly. As an emergency weapon, use knifes, axes or just plain sticks.
