You are reading this topic. That means you are either playing or willing to play skyfactory and you are interested into the gameplay.
Everything you need to know about starting the gameplay can be found here. If you have any more questions or additions you think we should add, feel free to reply.
Starting Island Schematic:
You start with a tree and a little dirt island. That is it, no chests, no extra blocks.
You want to be able to harvest as many sapling as possible, so for that purpose, an item called "a Crook" has been added. It is used for harvesting leaves. All you do, is break the leaves with it and your sapling yield will increase enormously.
Crook:
Once you have a decent amount of saplings, you can start getting yourself some extra dirt to expand your farm. In order to do that you need a barrel.
Barrel:
Barrels are used for composting. You add organic materials into it and wait for it to dry until it turns to dirt.
Compost:
From time to time if you are lucky enough, while harvesting saplings from leaves, a little silk worm will fall from the leaves. You can plant that little Silk Worm into the leaves and wait for them to create silk. Once your leaves have enough, you will be able to get some silk from them.
Silkworms:
Once you have your little silk farm going, you might want to try a sieve. A Sieve is a crucial item that will help you get items you need badly to continue your gameplay.
Throw some dirt into it and it will yield certain items. The most crucial one for now is the dirt's drop of stones. You can craft 4 stones together to get yourself some cobblestone.
Sieve:
Stones:
I am sure you are wondering how to get yourself a cobblestone generator to continue playing.
For that reason you will need yourself a hammer.
Hammers are tools used to break cobblestone into gravel -> into sand -> into dust.
Hammers:
Once you get yourself some dust, you can use it to make yourself some clay. Place some dust into a barrel full of water, which you can gather from the rain.
Clay:
Once you get yourself some clay, you can craft yourself a crucible.
Crucible:
That's about everything you need to know to get yourself started. I am sure you will have more questions and for that reason I will forward you to this topic, the original of Ex-Nihilo, the mod that adds this awesome gameplay.
