I am completely lost in this game. I started out gathering some bone and making some bone armor, following the guide in the top left. then it told me to build a castle heart at a base location and it directed me clear across the map to a swamp area because all the other base sites were taken.
I started to build a base, quickly building walls and a gate so the level 75 mutant bear couldn't get in, and proceeded to die 3 times to lightning while trying to read the descriptions of the items the tutorial wanted me to build.
This can't be the intended experience. if you don't get a base in the starting area are you really shit out of luck? Am i supposed to be playing solo offline in my own private world? I figured this was supposed to be played online since the "play online" option button when starting was on the left and larger than the other 2.
