Evildousharm on YouTube has some good beginner guides definitely check him out. Content may be old but still relevant and don’t worry everyone gets confused by this game. After some time playing you will eventually learn there’s just so much to figure out it can feel overwhelming at times. Just take it slow and remember you aren’t gonna beat this game in a day or even a week it’s quite a marathon of a game
