Guide:Getting Started

Getting Started Guide

Welcome to the wonderful world of Necesse. This game may seem slightly overwhelming but let me reassure you, the basics of this game can be learned quite easily.

Joining A World For The First Time

When starting a new world or joining a multiplayer world for the first time you will need to create a new character we call The Player.

ℹ️ Note: Your character can be reused across multiple worlds, so don’t worry too much about early choices.

Your Starting Location

Once you load into the world I suggest you head into the house you spawn by and take a look at the User Interface and Controls pages to familiarise yourself with them.

💡 Elder's Tip: Knowing your controls early will make combat and exploration much easier later on.

The player's default spawn point near the Elder's House.

Player Inventory

The player's starting inventory includes:

•  Wood Axe
•  Wood Sword
•  Crafting Guide

ℹ️ Note: These starting tools are enough to begin gathering resources and crafting basic equipment.

The Elders House

In new worlds, the player spawns in a Forest Biome next to the house of the Elder, if the corresponding option was selected when creating the world. The Elder is your game guide and quests giver. He will provide useful and sometimes unique rewards for completing quests, so don't ignore him.

💡 Elder's Tip: Completing the Elder’s quests is one of the easiest ways to follow intended Progression

Inside the Elders House

In the Elder's house, the player will find a  Workstation where they can craft their first equipment needed for the further exploration, such as:

•  Wood Pickaxe
•  Wood Shovel
•  Wood Boat
•  Torches
There is also a  Spruce Display which holds:
• a pair of  Leather Dashers

💡 Elder's Tip: Leather Dashers are an Ability Trinket which allows the player to Dash at the expense of Stamina.

The Elder's  Bed can be used to set a spawn point inside the house.
This is the place the player will return to when they die.

ℹ️ Note: You will be able to craft your own beds later.Beds can be used to skip between day and night if all players are in bed. we will go more into the day and night cycle shortly

There is a  Storagebox in the elders house that the player can take items from which contains:

•  Village Map
•  Dungeon Map
•  Bread
•  Health Potion
•  Settlement Flag

ℹ️ Note: A Settlement Flag is used to start a settlement. The flag can be placed on any terrain tile outside or inside the house but you don’t need to place the Settlement Flag immediately — We will cover Settlements later in the guide

⚠️ Elder's Warning: The elders house also has a  Cave Ladder to go down into the Caves but we arent quite ready for that yet.

Outside the Elders House

Outside the house is a  Roasting Station on top of a  Campfire which you can use to cook raw meat from:

•  Cow
•  Sheep

and other Animals

ℹ️ Note: It's best not to kill the animals near your spawn as you can use them later for Taming, Breeding and Harvesting.

Exploring the Forest

Day And Night Cycle

: The world has a day and night cycle. in the forest nothing hostile will spawn during the day but Zombies come out at night so be sure to take shelter or be prepared to fight

Preparing For The Caves

Obtaining Mining Gear

Head outside of the elders house and chop down some Trees.

In the forest it will be either:
•  Oak Tree
•  Spruce Tree

💡 Elder's Tip: You can chop trees down with the  Wood Axe that came in your starting inventory and collect the Logs and Saplings that drop.

You should cut down more than you need so that you can use the extra logs to craft more torches and replant the saplings near the elders house to grow over time.

Before We head down to the Caves we need at least:
•  Oak Log (2) to make a  Wood Pickaxe
• 10 logs and 10 saplings to make  Torch (40)

⚠️ Elder's Warning: Torches are essential in caves — darkness hides enemies and hazards.

Once you have all of these head over to the  Workstation inside the Elders house and craft:

•  Wood Pickaxe
•  Torch (40)

Final Preparations

If you haven't already make sure you grab:

•  Bread
•  Health Potion
from the chest or:
• find some  Blueberry from  Blueberry Bush in the surrounding forest.

💡 Elder's Tip: If you come across any  Blueberry Bush you should break these and place them near the elders house as an early source of food.

Carrying food and healing items greatly increases your survival chances underground.

Your inventory should look a little like this:

Down We Go

⚠️ Elder's Warning: If you feel unsure, you can always gather more supplies before entering the caves.
Head over to the  Cave Ladder for Your First Cave when you feel comfortable you have everything you need.
