Early on for me it was generally the survival mechanics mixed with the movement system. Trying to make sure you have enough items to get from point A to point B but not taking so much it gets in the way of your ability to walk. Basic resource management really.

Things change though the deeper you get into the game. It becomes less about survival and walking and more about building infrastructure and gadgets. You get a lot of tools to interact with the world and it's really engaging setting up entire networks of stuff to make moving through the world easier.

Should I be stocking up on resources early on or using them to build shit as I have it? I always am afraid to use resources in games where I know I’ll eventually unlock much better stuff

If you're still in the first zone don't worry about it really. If you're in the second zone then just use what you have on bigger projects as you see fit. The game is structured in such a way that you'll naturally focus on one thing at a time as the current tools you have will make reaching the next major part of the game easier so you can unlock a new set of items to play with.

It's a very linear progression basically.

I say if it’s going towards something genuinely useful, don’t be afraid to use what you have.

I suppose I’m not far enough into the game to know what is genuinely useful yet haha. I just feel like there’s already so much stuff already out in the world from other players I haven’t needed to do anything myself. I haven’t even put down one of my own ladders yet
