Starting tips

Looting tips:

Dry grass, herbs, and rags have a weight value of ZERO so you can pick them up and keep them in your inventory for later use. This is nice because you can pick up as much as you want and just have it in your inventory to craft with later.

In the desert: you can click repeatedly on passing tumbleweeds and they will occasionally give you items. I've only ever gotten grass and bugs so far, but grass is super important for crafting so I'll gladly take it.

Armor and weapons contribute to your weight so be wary of that when crafting them

For tools in the first area I recommend you build the cookware, torch, cart, workshop in that order.

Cookware helps immensely because you can cook the meat you pick up and make jerky so that you have a preservative food that won't rot in your inventory or decrease your mood.
Torch is important to at least get to level 3 at some point to negate night time mood decreasers.
Cart is important for more space and a little speed boost. Space is hard to come by in the game when you're trying to have enough materials to craft higher up items
Workshop is important because it allows you to make better armor and weapons.

Always pick up shards, postcards, papers, and recipes (see picture section for what they look like)

From tuxdelux: The colored percentage number, for challenges, relates to the skill of that same color. For example, getting your AGILITY up to 10 points, in the first act, will ensure 100% chance for "jumping" into open doorways. That's useful.
