A note on mods: this Tier 1 set contains no mod guides on purpose. The 1.0 engine upgrade broke most BepInEx mods, and the mod scene is still rebuilding for 1.0 and the Deep North. Mod guides will follow in a second wave once compatibility is verified mod by mod; until then, buy and play for the survival and building loop, not for mods.
Guides are ordered the way you play: learn the basics, make your first real choices, beat the bosses in order, then chase achievements and master the deep systems. If a guide is missing the answer you need, start from the beginner guide and follow the chain forward.
