Some people have been mentioning in other threads about tips and info for new players that might not be very obvious when you start. So here is a thread we can post some of that info.
Falling from high places hurts, land on something soft and it doesn't.
Drinking dirty water or eating rotten food can make you sick.
Pretty flowers make tea.
Snow is cold.
Desert is hot.
Pigs are unfriendly if you attack one.
Roland will never get ziplines.
Make 2 bases, one for storage and crafting, one for fighting off hordes.
Always have bandages, bleeding sucks.
Destroy tents for massive amounts of cloth.
Heavy armor is heavy. You get tired very fast wearing it.
Read every book you find.
Everything is useful.
Max out lucky looter fast.
Never stop making ammo.
Multiple storage boxes, stay organized.
Get a vehicle, you can store stuff in it when out looting.
Vehicles don't drive under water.
Treasure will never be more than 3-4 blocks deep.
Don't feed the bears, unless you have a lot of ammo.
If you see a zombie bear, see tip above, but leave it alone anyway.
Until you get a knife, sharpen a bone to cut up animals.
Elaborate traps are a waste of time early in the game, focus on ammo instead.
Water towers have water in them, just climb up and break a hole in them.
You can learn to create some items by reading the schematic instead of using perk points.
Destroyed versions of workbenches, forges, etc can have a schematic for that item in it.
Don't destroy every vehicle around, save it for when you have raised the skill for more items from them.
And 1000's more items for the new player. I'm sure people will add to this list.
