[[Flatten]] that 3x3 area with your shovel starting at the highest point and working down Now move to the lowest point. This area needs what used to be at nearly flat, slope the lower edge of 4 or less on all the first tile and dig along the tile borders, so you may have to flatten down from of the highest point two or more times to get this right. You may also have to practice your digging skill a bit to finsih the process5 top tiles making those top 5 tiles flat.
Cut Repeat the process of lowering the top row of tiles until either the upper slope is too steep for you to dig on or until you hit rock, which will also prevent further digging. Ensure that top line of tiles is flat all the way along, if necessary by dropping back some dirt to raise any tile intersection that are too low. Successively dig down the other 4 rows of tiles in the same manner, ensuring that each is flat before moving on to the next. You may need to drop dirt that you dug up on higher tiles to raise the level of lower ones. You should, under nearly all circumstances, end up with a tree and make 4 [[plank]]flat area that is at least 3x2.
Decide which Estimated time of the 8 tiles around the edge of that area is easiest to get to (its usually the lowest one) and, using your Mallet, plan a 1 tile building on that spot30 mins. (Read the guide on how to [[Build House]])
You will need a door on Decide which of the tiles around the '''outer''' edge of your 3x3 space and a door leading flat area is easiest to get to (its usually the one that used to be the '''inside''' of lowest one) and, using your 3x3 spaceMallet, right click that tile and plan a 1 tile building on that spot.(Read the guide on how to [[Build House]])

'''Remember these things:''' You will not die from hunger but you will become very slow in everything. You can ''/suicide'' to go get food during your first 24 hours that you play. You can [[fast]] at least once, gaining a full food bar at the loss of body weight.
Decide where you want your house to be initially. This is easily changed later if you are not happy with your initial choice.
Select a 3x3 area of land to build on then [[botanize]] then [[forage]] that area and one tile all the way around outside it. That's a 5x5 area all in. What you want is [[cotton]], but anything that is a crop seed or can be used to [[cook]] is useful.
=== A quick level ===
Estimated time of 90 mins.
This method may not work on steeper slopes but is probably the fastest way to get a flattish starting space ..
[[Flatten]] that 3x3 area with your shovel starting at the highest point and working down to the lowest point. This area needs to be a nearly flat, slope of 4 or less on all tile borders, so you may have to flatten down from the highest point two or more times to get this right.
Note: You may have to practice your digging skill a bit to finish the process as the tiles highest up the hill will end up with a steeper
=== Or, A slower but safer level ===
Estimated time of 3 hours.
''Creating a Dirt Pile:'' To create a pile of dirt, drop 4 or more items, such as woodscrap, on the same tile. Open the resulting pile and drop in 3 or more dirt. Remove the items you started the pile with.
Starting at the highest corner of your 5x5 area, dig the slope down by 20 dirt, dropping the dirt in a pile of dirt as you go. Move along that top line of tiles digging the upper edge of your area down until it is the tile borders are level all the way along.
Go back to the top tile border and dig it down another 20. Dig down the lower edge of that line of tiles again to return them to being flat.
=== Planning a Shack ===
Cut down a tree and make 4 [[plank]].
You will need a door on the '''outer''' edge of your flat space and a door leading to the '''inside''' of your 3x3 space.
So now, with your mallet active, and the large nails and planks in your inventory, walk round each of the 4 walls of your hut deciding where you want doors, walls and windows.
Make 10 [[shaft]] from your felled tree logs and, with a Mallet activated and carrying 10 [[small nail]], plan wooden fences [[Wooden fence]]s around the outside of your 3x3 space.(Your shack and its two doors will be the gate to the inside)
This '''roughly''' safeguards your personal 3x3 base in Wurm but you will need at least another 10 Shafts and 96 Planks to complete the process.
=== Finishing the Shack ===
'''Finish your hut first''' and attach the Door Locks to give you a safe place to store stuff or hide from dangerous creatures. Build one wall then cut the planks for the next etc.
Estimated time 40 mins
Finish your fences next to give you space to grow stuff.
When both your hut and fence is complete, plant any seeds you have found inside your fenced area. '''Remember these things:''' You will not die from hunger but you will become very slow in everythingVegetable crops like corn, onion, potato and cotton should take priority. You can ''/suicide'' to go get food during your first 24 hours that you playTwo tiles cotton and the rest veg. You can [[fast]] at least once, gaining Plant half the area one day and the other half a full food bar at the loss of body weightday or two later.
Then you should make [[string of cloth]] and then you should make [[fishing rod]] or [[fine fishing rod]]. You should make as many of these as you can from your first lump of cotton.
Always Fish then Repair your rod then fish Fish again. Fishing rods are easily damaged but can fee feed you for months if you take care of them. They are the best source of food.
