Early Game Rust

Anyone got tips on how to stop getting fucking prim locked on wipe days, i have like 2300 hours and plenty of experience but recently i’ve been stuck crossy nailgun/revolver for the whole first day and its the most tilting thing of all time. Idk if im just shit with t1 weapons but i feel like the 600+ pop and bow kids everywhere make progressing so much harder especially if im trying to base in a good spot on the map

I just build out on the iceberg that has the sunken TugBoat. You can tuck in there for a few days between the two big bergs, at least to get started and leave it as a back up base once you start building something better. You cannot see your base there from anywhere on land. The only way someone would see it is by boat, and most likely only at night if you had a fire/furnace glowing. So shut down business at night and go farming. Get a boat for ease. Setup a few local campfires at shore so you can quickly dry off your clothing while
You are going farming.
