Pieces of coal can mostly be found in caves or next to a fireplace, while scrap metal spawns all over the place.

Heavy hammers are most commonly found next to forges or crafting tables. So, your main priority upon starting is finding those ingredients and tools, holding on to them, and heading towards a forge.

And for this reason, there are a few things that you must absolutely find and hold on to: You need to craft everything on your own.
