Someone help me lol

Even on the easiest mode and as a runner, I can't seem to survive at all 😂 If you have any tips, please share them 🙇 I build a high ground in the first grassland, and when the exploration rate gets to medium, I go to the forest, but I always run out of water there. I don't know what I'm doing wrong and can't even do trial & error. Any tips would be appreciated!
