I recommend having the wiki open and alt tab (ideally in a warm location, bottom left, you want to be as close to as the black line as possible, since you use 4x less food), and when you need to make something, type it in. Playing on empty server is also good for learning the Eve basics.
Unfortunately I can't alt-tab out because the game literally breaks on linux when you do that. Gotta switch to my secondary laptop. Maybe I should start playing the game with a "copilot" who looks up instructions and tells me what to do while I'm busy not starving to death.
I just bought this game today, and played for around one hour.. My experiences varied between spawning as a baby, not being fed and dying, and spawning as an Eve, having no idea what to do, spawning a lot of babies, and dying with them.
I feel that the game severely lacks an in-game help, as without looking it up on the internet, I couldn't even figure out how to eat something (clicking myself isn't *that* obvious..). But beyond that, there aren't really any instructions as to what to do. If you spawn as a baby, you can't ask for help because you can only write one letter, and even if you're not abandoned you will likely die. If you spawn as an Eve, you basically have to create a town all by yourself, and without instructions, this is pretty much impossible.
So, basically, does this come down to having to read a guide on the internet and get an in-depth understanding of the game's mechanics and metagame, before even being able to play it at all? I mean, I'm not opposed to steep learning curves, I play roguelikes and Dwarf Fortress, but this is a bit much.
Any pointers as to how to get started, maybe without having to read a book's worth of instructions before being able to play the game at all?
