This is your first proper bed that can be placed indoors.
Smoker

This allows you to smoke Meat, a key strategy for Cooking food that won't easily rot.
Furnace
- Menu - Survival
- Cost - 4 Wood, 6 Rock, 10 Clay
This is effectively a Fire Pit for indoor use. Unfortunately, it can't fit a Cooking Pot. You can, however, still Cook Meat on it directly like you could with a Fire Pit that doesn't have a Cooking Pot.
Basket
- Menu - Survival
- Cost - 2 Dead Plant Fiber, 4 Wood
This is your first true form of storage -- drop items inside of the basket to keep them from rolling away.
Bow

This is a better tool for Hunting animals at range and is best used for dealing with more dangerous creatures like Wolves and Bears.

Pelt Drying Rack

Completing the second Ruins will give you access to the Head Lamp, a key piece of equipment that effectively serves as a flashlight.
Head Lamp

The Head Lamp lights up the area in front of you. It never runs out of power.
Fish Net
- Menu - Hunting
- Cost - 4 Wood, 8 GemStone, 12 Dead Plant Fiber
These can somehow be used to catch Fish, but I've never had them work for me. It's easier to go Hunting and poke them with a Spear instead.
Crab Pot
- Menu - Hunting
- Cost - 1 Rotten Meat, 4 Dead Plant Fiber, 10 Wood
These can catch Crabs once properly baited. A Crab Pot is automatically baited once placed for the first time, but you'll have to replace the bait after a Crab is caught.
