The tutorial

The tutorial starts the moment your island is ready and gets you playing right away. No wall of text: you do every move yourself, in three acts, told by Pompon. By the end you’ve got a level 3 Forge, a Multitool, your first Rinacoins and a brand new ONE CHUNK.

How it guides you

• A panel at the top of the screen shows the current act, the step and the goal. The goal also pops up in the middle of the screen every so often.
• A firefly trail on the ground leads you to the right spot, right down to the exact part to click.
• Whatever you need to click glows, with a “RIGHT CLICK” label and a ring of particles.
• Every step you clear rings a bell a little higher than the last. Every act you finish, a fanfare.

Act 1: the Forge

1. Head to your Forge and click its breaker, the red lever at the front. Power flows, its arms unfold.
2. Calibration: click the rock when it turns green, right as the arms strike. On the beat, like a dance.
3. Open the Forge and collect its output: your first coal.
4. Upgrade it to level 2 from its screen.
5. It grew, but its belt is jammed: click the stuck ores.
6. Pompon gives you an Iron Core: open the Forge, click what it makes, then click iron twice.
7. Overcharge: at its console outside, click when the cursor is in the green. The Forge hits level 3. What could possibly go wrong?

Act 2: the Spawn

1. The bridge to the portal islet has collapsed: place the stones you’re given all the way to the portal. Fall off and you’re put back at the bridge.
2. Wake the portal: right-click its runic console.
3. Walk through it, or type /spawn. When you arrive, you get your Multitool and your kit: your first tools are stored inside and it picks the right one by itself.
4. Mine in the spawn pit until you hit the count. Pompon counts along. The last milestone lets you in on a secret: the bottom of this pit opens the Nether.
5. Go see the Croupier on the arrival terrace, next to the casino. He teaches you to gamble with a free stake and walks you through every click. This first wheel is a guaranteed win.
6. Sell the rest: type /sell all. Your Rinacoins roll up on screen and your balance shows top right.

Act 3: the ONE CHUNK

1. “Something is happening on your island”: go home with /is home.
2. The cutscene: your Forge runs wild, falls apart piece by piece and leaves only a wreck in a cloud of smoke. All that energy shoots north and gives birth to your ONE CHUNK, a real piece of the world all your own (see the starter island).
3. Repair your Forge: right-click the wreck.
4. Name your island: /is menu, then click the name tag. Or /is name <name>.
5. Fireworks: you made it. The guide is shown to you, and your Logbook opens a few seconds later with the rest of the adventure.

Tip: during the overcharge, don’t watch the Forge, watch the cursor. Clicking too early or too late costs nothing: wait until it’s right in the green.

Good to know

• Every new island restarts the tutorial, including a reset one.
• During the tutorial your Forge can’t be picked up: it stays put until the repair.
• Daily challenges and Logbook quests wait for the tutorial to end before they count.
• A member of someone else’s island? Only the owner picks the name: that step clears on its own.
