I think you misunderstood me. Building a metal economy in the first year is easy. What is not easy is to be lucky enough to find enough materials so it is actually worth it and you need to sacrifice pretty much everything else.

What I usually make a point in doing ASAP is a farm so I never run out of food. That's really more important than setting up the metal economy in the first year IMHO.
