When This Section Should Be Your Next Click

A section page should not feel like a bare list. It should explain what problem this content cluster solves, which page to start with, and where to go next.

Start Here Accessory crafting chain cleanup

Accessory chains require low-tier materials and duplicate drops; many late items are blocked by early trinkets.

Keep Going

Do Not Browse Chronologically, Browse By Task

A section page should route readers by task: route, boss, build, map, cleanup, or video, not by a flat chronological list.

Start Route Start With The Route Page If You Still Need The Reading Order

Before smashing altars, decide ore, evil spread, and crate strategy; breaking every altar blindly raises cleanup pressure.

Build Fix Move To A Build Page When Gear, Stats, Or Damage Feel Wrong

Reforge to fix mobility, defense, and crit or damage gaps; do not spend every coin on one damage stat.

Cleanup Use Checklist Pages For Collectibles, Endings, Achievements, And FAQ

Accessory chains require low-tier materials and duplicate drops; many late items are blocked by early trinkets.

Need Video Switch To A Video-Backed Page When Text Alone Is Not Enough

Turn arena videos into platform height, campfires, heart lanterns, honey, and escape routes, not just visual inspiration.

Section Purpose

A safe route for the first shelter, torches, workbench, mine entrance, first NPCs, and early boss prep.

This section turns one family of player problems into a reading route: entry decision first, then individual boss, class, map, database, or video pages. Future content should link back here so readers do not land on isolated articles.

Recommended Reading Order

First night shelter route: On the first night, build a sealed room, workbench, torches, and platform access before committing to deep caves.
Early ore upgrade route: Early mining is not about clearing caves; it is about getting the first pickaxe, weapon, armor, and furnace upgrades.
Merchant and Nurse unlock route: Valid housing, enough coins, and Life Crystal progress bring Merchant and Nurse online, raising early survival sharply.
Life Crystal safety route: When hunting Life Crystals, explore horizontally with rope and platforms; more health solves more early walls than rushing bosses.
First boss readiness check: Fight Eye of Cthulhu or King Slime only after you have healing, runway space, ranged options, and a reset plan.

Maintenance Rules

Every article must answer one clear question before steps and troubleshooting.
Add video when timing, positioning, or building structure matters; add tables when route comparison matters.
After each content batch, add new pages here and link article pages back to the section.
