There are videos on youtube that sum up main progression from stone to steel.

There are also other topics to learn, like prospecting for ore, leather making (for backpacks), animals handling, bee keeping (if you want lanterns), windmill building (to automate iron processing and as prerequisite for steel), and many more.

Survival hanbook (H key by default) have a lot of info and guides on game mechanics. Otherwise, google videos on certain topics.

It is fun to pass all these milestones and see how your small village grows.

P.S. As for storage, keep food and unprocessed animal hides in storage containers made from clay in cool cellar, bulk resurces (stone, ore nuggets, wood blocks) in crates and everything else in double chests that you can make as soon as you get access to copper (for nails and strips).

Some things like firewood, peat, bricks can be stockpiled right on the floor. Also you can lean tools to the wall or put them on tool racks for convenience. This also adds to an atmosphere of medieval building.

Surprised someone mentioned it. I’m playing it too. Quite captivating game.
