The Tailor and Blacksmith should be keeping you with enough tools and clothes. The Forester's Lodge and Wood Cutter should give us enough firewood.

We should be looking pretty cosy at this point, the Gatherers Hut, Hunting Cabin & Fishing Dock should be keeping us well supplied with food. The gatherers hut is a real priority, it'll be bringing in most of your food so try and keep it well staffed. Set a lower surplus of tools and hide clothes, perhaps just one stored tool and set of clothing for each adult citizen, we can't afford to waste resources and labour. It helps to swap a tailor and blacksmith around to do whichever of the two is needed at this early point. It's not necessary to have all the buildings fully staffed, put people to work where it's needed. Hunters Lodge (this will top up our food and get us some leather).Blacksmith (tools are really important and we need to maintain a steady supply).

4-5 Wooden Houses (build enough for all the starting families) Make sure this is done before late Autumn!.Wood Cutter (we can now start building up a little supply of firewood).Gatherers Hut (build this close to the Foresters Lodge, it'll benefit from being in a heavily wooded area).Foresters Lodge (try and build this in an already heavily wooded area near the settlement, clear out any iron and stone in its location).Here's a decent order in which you should build in that first year or so. Make sure none of your citizens are idling around as they should all be busy in this vital starting year! For your starting settlement you should build near the water so you can fish efficiently and getting water to put out fires shouldn't be a problem.

Then it's to the task of building some basic infrastructure. The first order of business is to clear out a bit of the surrounding stone and trees from around your starting position. You'll need to be able to see exactly what is going on in order to keep your settlement going. Alright so here we are, first thing you should do is sort out your HUD, I recommend having all of the information visible.
