Thanks for your replies, I appreciate it! I am playing as the default one, no changes there. Man I wish. As I wrote I can maybe find 3 to 4 berry bushes and each of them will just fill that hunger bar by maybe 10%, so that is way too low to survive. Maybe it is what @MKMoose is saying and I don't spot them, but I make sure to move the cursor over the objects and check the respective names of the plants. When I travel to find mushrooms I "spent" so much of the hunger bar that when I finally find a few, I am in a worse position than before. I already did that, but those berries take 7 days to respawn; that is way too long to survive on them. But for a cookpot you need clay (it seems) and I have not yet found any clay in any of the maps. That stuff seems to be harder to find than ores (which I have seen plenty of already, but of course I don't have the tools to use them. But cattails are even harder to come by. I can barely find the 10 required to progress in the tutorial. Again, thanks for all your help. Maybe I will give it another try on the weekend.

So I have started three worlds now and never had a supply of food that kept me alive for more than two days. A couple of berries, mushrooms, enough to fill the "hunger meter" to up to 30%, that's it. I keep running around, fleeing from wolves or bears (or weird creatures) trying to find another berry bush to survive for a few more minutes, but I only find flowers and birch leaves. I read that you are supposed to build a shelter and a farm, but I can't do that because I am always starving and losing health because I have no food. Can't hunt, because I can't gather the resources to make any weapon, because I must run around looking for some mushrooms so that I don't starve to death. Any hints?

Yeah you can't even eat them .. I tried. I had exactly 7 cattails on my first map, so I started a new one and now I don't have any food ... oh well. Maybe with the third I will be lucky.

Then I guess I am lucky. I spawned at the beach of an ocean and behind me is a huge (and I mean HUGE) mountain that I can't even climb. I swam around the whole island to find a better place to land, but to no avail. Thank you very much, so I am looking for lakes for rivers I guess. Maybe I will just try a new map. Again, thanks for the help!

So I just started the game and I am stuck in the tutorial. I am running around after creating the stone knife (which was a problem in itself, because the description in the tutorial gives incorrect shortcuts) and I only find grass and birch leaves. It seems that my character is already starving to death. How can I progress here?
