Mindless Resource Collection

You are in a cave. Right now your only possessions are your collection of empty WOODEN CHESTs, an AUTOMATIC CREATION DEVICE, a BACKPACK, and your trusty IRON PICKAXE. What do you do?

Collect some resources, starting with the empty wooden chests. Scrap them for parts and begin storing them obsessively.
Don't forget to go on MinerNet, the largest online community for mindless resource gatherers, to contact other mindless resource gatherers, asking them about the most optimal methods for storing wooden planks.

You destroy one of your WOODEN CHESTS, decreasing the amount of WOODEN CHESTS to 11. You receive 5 WOOD and 1 IRON. Unfortunately your IRON PICKAXE has suffered 5 points of durability damage, reducing it's DURABILITY to 123. You would destroy more, but you BACKPACK only has a meager 32 inventory slots.
You would go on MinerNet but you lack a device for computing and a MODEM or ROUTER.

Break one more WOODEN CHEST and then make one or two chisels out of your newly-collected raw materials. Having these durable tools to chip away at things will help maintain the durability of your existing IRON PICKAXE.
If successful, mine some rocks and start carving stuff out of your chisel. Perhaps a SLEDGE or WEDGE? Maybe even a STONE WHEEL?

Mine. Craft. Is there an outside? Can you leave the mine?

You open one of your WOODEN CHESTs. There's absolutely nothing/

You try an make a MODEM and ROUTER with your ACD. It says "INSUFFICIENT MATERIALS."

The entrance to the outside is next to you. There isn't much use going outside since there isn't any resources to mindlessly collect other than WOOD.

Open each wooden chest to examine the contents. Destroy all empty chests save for 3.

An overwhelming success.
This is extremely productive.

There is literally no point to opening every chest. They are all empty. Also you'll probably be needing all these chests for later.

You find a vein of iron, and swing your pickaxe at it. You get 2 IRON.

You exit the cave. It's daytime right now. You don't have a proper AXE, so you can't cut down a tree and make a CONTEMPLATION TABLE. Nearby you notice somebody carrying a pile of WOOD. What do you do?

Ask them how we smell. So many days in the mine (zero or so) is really tuckering us out

You approach the young man to ask for his WOOD.
You: Hey you! You've got some wood there! Would you be willing to lend some over? I don't have money, or much iron, so I don't have any payment right now.
???: Firstly, my name is Albert, secondly, be careful with your words, thirdly, I can't give you anything without money. Come back later if—
You: Please? I barely have anything.
Albert: Fuck off.
You: Come on, just a little bit?
Albert: Fuck off.
You: Just one.
Albert: Fine. Don't ask for anything else.
Albert hands you a single chopped piece. You obtain 1 piece of WOOD.

You: Also how do I smell? I've been working in—
Albert: Stop.
You: But—
Albert: Creep. I bet you put that innuendo in on purpose.
You: No I did not I—
Albert: Fuck off, I already gave you enough.
You should probably stop just asking people for stuff out of the blue. You realize you're feeling really hungry, which reminds you, you see a woman collecting some honey.

Use the ACD to form up some... "money", for this woman. Use wood and make paper, and perhaps use ground-up metal for the "ink" if our ACD accepts it. We want to buy her HONEY, but if she's offering, we'd also like to buy her KNOWLEDGE on how to harvest honey in the future, so we can eventually set up a farm.

You approach the woman. The JUG of HONEY next to her feet is already making your mouth water.
You: Hey, uh, are you selling that honey?
???: No. I'm collecting it for my family.
You: Can I have some? I've been starving since I came here. Barely packed anything.
???: Um, sure?
She gets a smaller bottle of HONEY and hands it to you. You're lucky since any ACD isn't powerful enough to replicate money.
You: Oh thank you so much. I'll cherish every drop.
???: You're welcome.
???: I haven't introduced myself have I. My name's Helen. Remember me whenever you're not starving to death.
???: What's your name anyways?
What is your name?

Richter, pronounced Ritch-Terr, surname Rocks. You're from a rockfaring tribe who lived in big rocks and hoarded resources, and you're here to make a name for yourself besides the name you already have. (Entirely kobold.)
