@tomba_be: There's a "Freedom Mode" where you don't need to worry about food and water, which is what I'm playing as I don't particularity like these types of survival mechanics in games. There's also a "Creative Mode" where you don't have to worry about any resource management at all, and you can instead just explore and build your base freely. However, there's no story mode if you go down the Creative route.
