When it comes to surviving there are several factors to consider. First of all, each biome has its own climatic conditions, so adapting to those will be crucial. You should wear appropriate clothing, use fire for warmth, and avoid freezing water. You also have to eat enough food and take care of any wounds you might suffer with bandages.

===Protective Barrier===
When starting a new Exploration game, you are equipped with a damaged Protective Barrier Generator.
Once you fix it (via crafting) you can place it in the world and you will be able to see a line marking what will be inside the Barrier when you turn it on.
Once you (only you can operate your generator) turn the generator on for the very first time, it will anchor itself and you will not be able to remove it even after disabling - so choose the location wisely.
The Barrier is invincible and can’t be destroyed by the Annihilator or other tools.
The Barrier can’t be activated on moving surfaced or vehicles.
