I have to laugh, because I recently decided to get back into this game and I started by deleting everything and starting from scratch. I've been playing every spare minute for over a week now. First tip, camp in the open or sleep at night, at least until you can one shot most things in the biome. Trolls are not Teddy Bears. Sneak or Run away if you hear them. Swamps are a nightmare until you get your first tier iron armor and weapons. Don't even go near them at night. I play multiple worlds. One for peace craft, one for bosses, others for resource planets. XD. It's good to have a peace world to save you the headache of always dying and having to sneak back to get your stuff, or worse, recraft it. Live by the one hit rule. If something big hits you, hit that escape key and log into your peace world to heal and come back and try to escape or kill the thing that hit you. Well, there's my basic tips. I will say it gets more fun after you have conquered a few biomes. Take the time to max out a biome (gear and weapons) before taking on the boss. And listen to your Elders (watch the tips from pros on youtube and such). I'm close to taking on the blobby dude and head to the mountains for the first time.
