You do so, but are unable to build the dirt up higher than waist-height. The dirt is too susceptible to the elements to stand strong enough. What now?
(Due to you using dirt to construct walls for a house, you have unlocked both EarthCraft and DefenseCraft, EarthCraft is the skill of crafting and building things out of organic materials, such as dirt; DefenseCraft is the skill of constructing defensive measures, such as walls, Robotic Sentries, and so on.)

YAY! Well, first I read the manual below to learn about DefenceCraft (LOL) Then I chop down the nearest tree, for more wood. Never can have enough wood.

You do so. You chop down two more trees before your hunger drops another point. What now?

I will search the tree for any coal. Then I will scout the area for a good place to build an home. Something with water close to it.

I use my pick to try and open up the opening a bit more, but being careful as I do so as steam could be caused by some dangerous/hazardous material.

I chop the two trees I just cut down into wooden planks, with which to build walls with.

You try doing so, but the steam is too hot for you to go near the hole. All of a sudden, a large red and orange object is jetisoned out of the hole, and smashes into a tree. What now?

You do so. (You reach 10/10 XP in WoodCraft skill, level will be updated next post) How do you build up the walls? do you reinforce the first dirt wall with some planks, then continue building up, or du you simply build on top of the dirt? (Also, as a heads up, if you think the environment is supposed to be blocky like Minecraft, IT IS NOT.)

(FINALLY you make that reference! I was waiting for that! And I reinforce the dirt first, then build up by shoveling more dirt from what is to be my floor onto what is to be my walls. Doubly effective!) As soon as my dirt 'n' wood shack is done, I whittle another wood handle with a spare log or plank. My next creation: A wooden sword. What materials do I need?

You do so, and complete the walls of the house, and you make a wood handle. A sword will require a handle (which you have), some leather for a grip as well as binding, and a material for the blade. You can make the blade out of wood, but don't count on slaying anything anytime soon. I suggest going after the leather first...



(You could pick up what's left of that one, but I wouldn't advise it, lol)

Eh, i'll have to find some iron first. Until then, my shovel should help with a few damaging slaps. I go back into the woods, looking around for anything edible. Fruit on trees, maybe a cow...at least a chicken.

You do so. You find an apple tree, but you can't find any ripe enough on the tree, or any on the ground that are edible. What now?

Guess I'll have to wait a bit for the apples to ripen. I chop down yet another tree, cut that into logs and branches, and then carry the stuff back to my house, marking the way to the apple tree by sticking branches in the ground. Dont want to lose it.

(You responded fast O.o)

You do so. Now that you have built two different things (your house and your path to the apple tree) you have gained a new section to your character sheet: Constructs. The Constructs section will say what buildings you have built, what's in them, and what they are made out of. Now what?

(I actually got free time!)

Yay! New stuff! Wait, my house has no roof...and I need a bed to sleep on. I therefore chop down these logs into planks, and first use some to place down a roof, packing it into place with more dirt. So it wont blow away. After that...how the HECK do I make a bed?
