Starting Out
You will need to plan out your actions before setting out on your adventures. While this is not a HardCore mod pack, mods like Hunger Overhaul and Iguana Tweaks will make the early game a bit more challenging, especially if you are not familiar with how these mods function. There are quite a few enemies on the surface during the day, so be aware!
Where to begin
Food and Shelter should be your top priority. You shouldn't have much trouble finding food if you look around hard enough, fruits and vegetables thrive in most of the world. If luck is on your side, you might come across an abandoned cabin which you can easily turn into your base camp.
You won't last long just foraging the natural edibles or hunting wild animals. Get yourself a farm going as soon as possible!

A good offence needs a strong defence
You start out with some basic gear, but this won't get you very far. Your flimsy armor and weapons will not last long and will be ineffective against some of the challenging enemies that lurk in the wild. A basic set of flint tools for mining, digging and lumbering, will get you started down the path of stronger and more reliable tools, weapons, and armor.
Once you have a suitable shelter, you may want to consider some perimeter defenses like punji sticks, walls or fences.
