Well I started the game, I guess I finished the tutorial because the clock started working and a huge area opened up, I am feeling mighty lost I have to say, maybe I should see if I can find any friend that is playing it.
Already died at the first alien that comes crashing throw.

At least the consequences for death don't seem too dire.
Does that mean I shouldn't worry too much about running out of food/water in the initial area? I remember playing Grounded and just accepting that I would die from thirst and respawning.

Do enemies respawn? My idea would be to stack up, try to gather all resources put them in one spot, gradually learn recipes, craft the new things I can do, try to find containers or craft them so I can put anything useful around my crafting area.
