A beginner order for 1.0

This is a suggested order, not the only legal one. 1.0 added more tutorial tasks, and the constructs and resources a task wants can show on the map. A resource scanner sits in the map menu. Difficulty presets are Creative, Relaxed, Balanced, Challenging, and Custom. Pick one before you decide the first hour felt unfair.

The opening loop I will stand behind is still: land, gather wood and stone, build the mech depot, plant a first crop, make a delivery, and climb a milestone. On the 0.8 milestone list, Milestone 1 opened the depot plus the spike saw's sweeping strike, irrigation hose, resource vacuum, seed shooter, and sprout cannon. 1.0 moved other unlocks. It did not publish a replacement for that first-hour list, so treat the tool names as the 0.8 start and watch the tutorial markers for what 1.0 actually asks.

Do not follow a video that tells a new save to build an Automator. That machine was removed. Pipes matter at Milestone 4, which is soon, but it is not the first crafting bench. Water can be a hose. Power can wait until a generator recipe exists. The crop table is there when you want days and yields. The map is there when you want a region, not a walkthrough.
