1st, I log back into the game... and for 1m15s I need to click "Next" and "Skip Stage"(skipping requires also a yes/no confirmation) to get back to where I was in the tutorial. Mining... mine some ore... back/waiting/skip stage. So I mine, I mine, I mine... I mine.......... I mine................... for 3 hours at least, every 30 secs ordering 3 more attempts. I mine stone, a lot of stone, mountains of stone. Twice I get an emerald.

Tutorial does not even mention, that we can and should prospect. Well, it's there on action menu, so I google it. Then I prospect every single wall uncovered. Great! I find 2 walls with salt and 1 wall with flint. 6xsalt and 5xflint arrive in my inventory after another hour or so of mining (including ceilings, floors and dragging myself out of the floor holes). 24xrocksalt lies on the floor, seemingly useless, at least for now.

I've got a Rockbreaker achievement and a few more, but I can't check them, because half of my options is still locked by the tutorial, including the Diary option. My pickaxe has already 44% damage, and I have not seen a single ore, yet. My food has been refilled once by fasting, and for quite a while my water level is at zero.

Somehow, I'm not collapsing, yet, and my health is still at 100%, but my initial excitement about the game surely has evaporated. The tutorial has not yet arrived at it's (presumably present) food and drink section. Probably, it's pretty easy to figure it out, but I guess, I will rather stay for eternity in my precious ore-free mine and haunt newcomers there. For those, that I'm not able to scare away, I will leave the chance to go through the rest of the tutorial and continue this description in their reviews.
