The game can be tough, particularly while you're learning your way around, and especially if earlier players have pillaged the resources of the area you spawn in.
The game and its community are at times reminiscent of the early days of Minecraft, sharing tips, support and discussion on the official forums, a crafting recipe wiki and a review board, where players have taken to telling their characters' stories. "After all, in this game, you are often tasked with playing a character who does not match the gender you identify with in real life." "There are two biological sexes in the game, but there are as many genders as people want to play," he says. Although the ability to spawn new players is unique to female-coded characters, Rohrer says that gender-coded behaviours, clothing and performance aren't linked to sexual attributes. If the game's design and mechanics lend themselves to matriarchies, they are also arguably rather bioessentialist (although not heteronormative – the most common family structure I've seen while playing the game has been centred around two or more women). If you wander off into the woods, you can live out the rest of your life, but you will do it absolutely alone, with no means of bringing other players into the game to join you." But, as Rohrer points out: "As a male character in this game, you feel your lack of importance acutely. Once weaned, you can survive on your own and try to learn and help your community as best you can, but your mistakes are less likely to result in someone else's death than if you were a woman. If you live past infancy, the game can be easier to play if you spawn as a male child.
