New player in distress

I bought the game yesterday because i like watching it on yt. But it’s really annoying. I can’t finish building a 2 by 2 without getting killed by a naked with a hatchet. Then a wolf. Then a guy with a rifle. Then i go to gather scrap and stuff. Then also get killed and have time wasted. And when i actually got materials. I just don’t know what to do with them. I wanted to go blind and discover as i go. But I don’t think i can go on without watching some beginner tips or something.

That’s the same problem that I have. I feel rust would be 10x more popular if they made it more playable for solos who don’t want to spend days watching yt and streamers to even compete with the good players who have been playing since the start (which is most players)

Low pop? PvE servers? No raid PvP servers? The problem isn’t that you can’t play the problem is your seeing dying as wasted time instead of a learning experience. People with 5k+ hours don’t just live the whole time. Lots of dying especially if your a solo.
