Food

  • Most importantly you will probably want to explore wide and far for crops and berry bushes to secure your food situation.
    • Crops can be planted on any soil after tilling it with a hoe, but grows best on high fertility soil. Crops also require a nearby water source.
    • Ripe Berry Bushes can be harvested and afterwards broken+replanted anywhere else. After a while they will start to bloom again.

Inventory Space

  • Once you have a basic farm set up, you could go ahead and increase your inventory space
    • Reeds can be crafting into baskets that have 2 slots each. Place it into one of the 4 bottom-right slots
    • If you've found Flax, you can work towards Line Sacks, which have 4 slots. It requires a lot of fibers though.
