You start with nothing, and have to go out and obtain materials first to survive and then later to use your creativity to build things. Once you become established, you will have the ability to explore the world more readily and gather more and better goods (and once you find a village, trade them). But be careful, because you always run the risk of being shot at or blown up. It is best to stay in lighted areas, so bring plenty of torches.
