Learning how to make items, or.... building a society?

Keep in mind that a functioning society also needs maintenance staff. Last life I had in a city, because like you I don't really know how to do anything, I spent the hour organizing stuff into baskets, bussing empty plates back to the cook, etc. It's support work as opposed to direct work like baking pies but it's necessary so that the specialists have easy access to tools/resources such as plates and seeds. Other people spend their hour on keeping the berry plants watered. You could always go on long-range dirt hauling trips. All of that is needed.

Yeah, if you can figure out what is holding shit up you can make a big difference just hauling in dirt.

I hauled in like 3-4 trips of dirt with a sledge as we had no wheels and the city lived. Every trip back there were
people babbling about the food shortage while doing nothing to fix it.

The first thing you need to learn to do, is survive. Once you know that, then you have more free time to learn other stuff. So learn the wild food items you can eat. Then learn a bit of farming. It really helps if you have a parent that will help you learn things but that is up to luck.

If you learn a few new things each game, you will make progress and things get a lot better.
