It sounds simple, and it is: go to bed. Sleeping saves the game.

When the evening comes, players will get a notice that it is late and they should go home. This is no empty warning, because if they stay up for too long, the player character will black out. This also results in saving the game.

There are so many things you can do in your time at Portia that it can difficult to know where to start. The most basic and essential things you need to know are:
 * -|Where to Begin=
 * 1) Workshop: Your Workshop is the small fenced area with a house that Presley brings you to at the beginning of the game. The Worktable and Assembly Station are your first crafting stations. Interact with them to see what you can craft and what ingredients you need.
 * 2) Saving Your Game: You can save the game by sleeping in your bed.
 * 3) Foraging: Explore the area right around your house if you need food or basic supplies. Wood and Stone are essential--they can be found on the ground (or from trees and boulders once you have the right tools).
 * 4) Trees: Kick every tree you see for apples and other resources.
 * 5) Stamina: Keep an eye on your Stamina. You use up Stamina by using tools and picking up items. Once it is depleted, you won't be able to do anything else until you restore your stamina with a consumable item or get some rest.
 * 6) House: Gather wood  to repair the inside of your house as soon as you can to improve your character's sleep.
 * 7) Dash (Sprint): You can run faster by holding down Shift when you move. This uses up Endurance, which refills automatically after you stop running.
 * 8) Crafting: One of your top priorities should be completing The Builder Test missions. This will give you a quick lesson in crafting.
 * 9) Missions: Don't accept a time-sensitive mission or commission if you won't be able to complete it in time. Most given at the Commissions Board are time-sensitive.
 * 10) People: Talk to people as often as you can to improve your relationship with them.
 * 11) Currency: The currency in Portia is the Gol. Once you have enough, pay for a weekly pass to the Abandoned Ruins, where you can find Copper Ore, Tin Ore, Data Discs, and other important resources.
 * 12) Guidebook: Inside the Commerce Guild, on the front desk near Antoine, there is a book with helpful introductory information. Visit it any time the Guild is open for tips on Commissions and other Guild topics.
 * 13) A push in the right direction: If you don't know what you are supposed to do next, check the Missions tab in the menu. This will show you the missions you are currently working on. You can also look at the Map and hover over any mission-related icons for more direction.
