Wheat is a good crop to plant as wheat seeds are fairly simple to get in early game. Of course, you should till some soil near a water source and gather a crop to plant. However, the advantage of the IC2 crops is that you don't need to re-plant the wheat after harvesting it. Weed can be removed by breaking and replacing the crop block, or with a Weeding Trowel, which needs iron. Want to plant crops in IC2 style? Sure! However, keep in mind that empty Crops, which is the IC2 block to plant crops on, will grow Weed after some time and it can destroy all of your farmed crops. Now, you have a little basic survival base.

The next part will introduce some new things. Nothing new here, but a good base is a good start. In this tutorial, wood and cobblestone will not be included in the material list unless a great amount is needed because of their abundance and how easy it is to get them. Once you acquire stone tools, growing trees and wheat are essential if you don't want to travel long distances to get wood and food. Don’t forget to add some chests and a bed in your little place. Try to get a good spot with a lot of open space not too far away, like the sandy beach in the picture. Keep in mind that you will need a lot of room for your industry. Don't expect that you can complete everything within a single day. In order to complete the IC2 tech tree, you will need at least tens of hours of gameplay. There is a low chance that this tutorial is wrong, and a lower chance that you have actually discovered a bug. If you find something mentioned in this tutorial not working, there is a high chance that your IC2 version is too old. You don't want half an hour of your work turns into a hole in the ground, right? By doing this you can reduce the need for testing things in your survival world as there is a chance of messing things up.

If this is your first time playing IC2, it is highly recommended to create a creative world and test things like how machines work, how to place down machines to orientate them correctly, and many more things. IC2 is based on Forge API, which needs installing Forge. If this is your first time playing with a mod, make sure that you have installed IC2 correctly. In this way, you'll get a clear understanding of what IC2 adds to Minecraft, and what's the difference. Try vanilla survival to get a taste of what vanilla is like before you begin on your IC2 survival.

IC2 is a mod (modification), which adds new things and changes some vanilla behaviors, making it different from vanilla Minecraft. If this is your first time playing Minecraft, don't be that hurry to try mods.
