The spoiler-free "
Survival Tips" section towards the beginning of the in-game manual (also included as
manual.txt) is recommended reading for new players who are having trouble. It'll get you up to speed and vastly improve your early-game survival rate.
If you're having trouble getting past the first few floors, check out my video "Pwning the Early Game"
(this also includes an intro to the UI and basic mechanics--see the YouTube description for timestamp links):
I stream runs (and talk strategy and answer questions) on
Twitch (older runs are archived
here). Most of the other expert players stream directly on
Discord, where realtime help is also available in the Cogmind channels.
For lots more videos and topical written guides, check out the wiki front page.
