New User Question Thread: All Questions Welcome!

Since Sseth's wonderful video there has been a major influx of new players. I thought it would be a good idea to make a big thread where everyone new to the game can come to ask questions and find answers.

So if are you stuck on a piece of game mechanics, want to know the best way to do a particular thing or are generally confused about how the game works, here is the place to ask your questions!
