Give us a screen shot of the problem and I am sure someone can show you what you may have done wrong.

Death is a failure state. This is true. But it is also the best learning experience. No one is good before they are bad. As a new player you don't know how to survive yet. And that is fine. You don't need to be good at the game to have fun playing it yet. As others have suggested. You have too much down time where you are skipping the basics. Forget rabbits. Go find some berry bushes and carrots. As long as you keep exploring you will have plenty of food for quite awhile. Plenty of time to get your self started. My biggest tip for new players is to never be doing nothing. Especially at night. Don't starve is a perma death game. And death is part of the game play. But it is also quite fair. You never truly feel like a death was the game's fault but instead your own. Everything has a warning. And the more dangerous it is the bigger the warning. There is no need to cheat your self out of the experience by modding away all the hardships. Don't get your self caught thinking a problem only has 1 solution when there are actually many solutions to be found.

Day 133. They still suspect nothing.

Try using shift plates.

As long as you don't actually drain the steam geysers they'll stop producing heat. Just use your starting water for now to keep your base cool. Eventually you should find some ice biomes and they have a worts and nullifiers that can help. The steam turbine was changed from the early beta. So that isn't practical for anything but late game now.

The farm station actually doubles your growth speed. Just make sure you have 2 farmers with good priorities and that you're not trying to grow mealwood.

If you're trying to grow mealwood that won't work.

The void tile was simply no tile. A bug in world gen that sometimes failed to generate something in that spot.

Lower the lamp 1 block and you'll have light for 8.

Buffer gate half overlaps polymer press.

If you level your tinkering skill I hear there is a way to increase the size of your asteroid.

Good news. I still have them. I spent 0 seconds of my 9 cycles anywhere near the doors so I have no idea when this happened. But I did save/load at some point to fix my farm station. Basically the game was never closed but I did visit the main menu. I did have to save/load every 10 cycles or so to fix stuff during the beta. But in this instance I know for sure there was only 1 save/load between these save files. Tragic Spacecamp Cycle 264.sav Tragic Spacecamp.sav

Cycle 264. Two doors. Cycle 273. Less doors. Edit: Almost forgot. At some point (for an unrelated bug) between the 2 screen shots I did have to save and reload to fix my farm station not working.

Nice update Klei. There is one bug I'm hoping is fixed before launch though. Any chance someone could look at the farm station bugging out? I described the problem I'm having in this bug report.

Polluted water is probably the best thing you'll have in your first few cycles. If you want some early game refined metal without the rock granular penalty. Just a few hundred Kg is plenty to start some automation.
