ASKA Guide And Tips on Getting Started

Main Goal is to survive the first winter, so lots of info on what you should be doing to get that done and where to build main base and optimal core layout.
Over 140 days survived so trying to give you as much info as i can remember to help you out.

I'm on the same day as you. But my first game season mistake was I built my first village far from any of the mines I found. So, I pushed that to the limit. I'm putting the 2nd village near the mine. And would probably relocate everything there. I also found out, if you dismantle Odin orb and move it to the new location. All the raids will spawn on that location . Where the Orb is, the mobs follow. A bear came, blood moon and smokrs. Probably the invasion too. So, I put back odin orb to my first village for defensive reason. while building the new base near the mine. And guess what. No one is attacking that 2nd village. I housed a few builders to make the relocation much more quicker and preparing all the structures that I need the basics and the mine stuff. My only issue is. If another winter hit and the 2nd village aren't ready yet because I'm building cottages instead of tent. There's no option as yet to get the villager to light the fire. So I need to fly to that 2nd location light the fire, come back to the main base by clicking the unstuck option. haha! The unstuck option really helps to get to the base quickly. Only if your base location is the shipwreck area.

Ya nice call on odin orb as mod spawn.. Good to know if your far enough away like out or render distance that they just spawn and don't do anything..
As for fires builders with time off light lights and maintain fires, put them on extra leisure time. Good to do with people that are unhappy, make builders give them 3 hours off in a row 2 times day or more, then you can f u their sleep time too :P Like have them go from 20-23 time off, sleep 4 hours and up with time off for 3 hours to keep fires going at night and so on. The more fires the more time off.
Also if you didn't know 1 guard tower in middle and rest building packed in as tight as you can with roads is a good way to keep lots happy, and upgrade the tower, 1 guy can give +20 def to lots of buildings..
My cottages have fire/wood pile and 10 beds.
I've been looking for a best seed, and not all mines are the same. Cuz my second game had perfect spot in sight of starting ship, flat, deer, everything but mine was crawler in first open area and 2 paths, both short and dead end and other opened to big room with 2 big crawler spawns.
Whish is to bad cuz i could lvl some hills into cliff and have about 33% of base with natural walls.
