A struggle: I'm really struggling finding specific resources that I need.  For example, I spent most of my hour today mining in search of Iron.  I had found some Iron earlier but I used it for other things, and finding more doesn't seem to be that easy.  The wiki says most iron is found underground so I spent most of my time playing today by digging farther down in the mines I usually dig in. 

An accomplishment:  I bred some more animals, which is good, because I don't starve in game anymore unless i wander too far away and get lost.  I also found a new ore that I hadn't found before, Lapis Lazuli which is primarily used as a dye apparently.  There are a lot of sheep and I made some sheers earlier in game so I might start playing with dying some wool, which I think can be made into carpet.  I also noticed that I have a very large amount of cobble stone so I might have to do some house expansions in the near future.

An observation:  I noticed that while I was playing today I really didn't wander farther than I needed to in order to not get lost.  I've kind of built my own mine connected to my house, so I never got lost mining, and I know where food is easily as well.  Maybe I should push myself to explore more and get lost a little in game and see if I find anything interesting.  Maybe tomorrow.

A question:  I wonder if it would be interesting to pick a spot and build a town of sorts.  There's the prebuilt town in the desert area, but if we all met up somewhere and cleared out some land and built houses right next to each other maybe the game would feel less lonely for a lot of people.  It's just an idea though!
