Initially I spent longer than desired in the first 'tech' stage because: 1) First Dungeon was had a wondering Troll around it. So the combo of Troll and the Dungeon. I ended up taking it as a "I should not be here", but that was incorrect message. I just needed to get better.
Once I learned that Dungeons and Bosses gate progression and how to better manage day/night along with better resource gathering/making and base building, the issue of being stagnate too long at any given tech level was fixed.
