Made this base today, thought it turned out nicely :) I'll add a book case or two once I defeat skeletor tomorrow.

Keep the wiki open, explore the surface for cave entrances and look for pots/chests, the game completely changes once you get a grappling hook.
Like someone else said, I prefer to go blind and not check the wiki if possible! I was looking for tips or stuff to do/don't
Thank you!
Naw go in blind, its pretty simple in the start. Of course you'll need the wiki later when you're trying to figure out what to do, but getting to hell and letting a demon drop its stuff right into the lava is a blast the first time when you have no idea whats coming.
After beating the game 4 times it all becomes second nature what to do. But the journey to get there is so much fun when you're first starting.
I disagree, the start is the most obtuse part about Terraria. It's not clear what you should be doing, where you should be going, how to build valid housing for NPCs, etc.
I started blind waaay back when it first released and hated it, then went back to it with a guide and had way more fun. There is NO way someone will figure out without guidance that you're supposed to go down the holes in the corruption , TNT rocks, then smash orbs with a hammer to summon the 2nd boss.
Once you get into hard mode you can figure things out yourself , but at the start you either need to play with a friend that knows what's up or follow a guide so you don't suffer.
To each their own, I hated playing without knowing the crafting recipes and always loved looking up what I can make with everything I picked up.
You don't need the wiki for that though, you can ask the guide what you can make out of anything.
When I started playing, the guide was completely useless. He would also open your doors and leave them open, I very quickly grew to despise the guide and made his home a prison.
