Move west from your farm to find a broken coop. You can start using it immediately after you repair it, so try to have enough materials when you arrive here on the first day.

Get Eggs Daily By Keeping Chickens

By fixing the Coop, placing grass in it & keeping chickens near by, you can get eggs daily, which is super useful early on. You can get 10 grass as a title reward for first getting chickens, and you'll be able to acquire more through farming later on.

Sleep Before You Collapse Of Exhaustion

Penalty For Collapsing Due To No Stamina

▲The penalty you receive when you pass out due to lack of stamina

Your character will pass out if their stamina runs out or when the in-game time reaches 2 AM. After collapsing, you will start with only half stamina & wake up at 10 am the next day. This is a hefty penalty, so avoid over-exerting your character, and sleep when stamina gets low.
