>Objectives
The game gives you a series of main quests and several side quests which sort of teach you the area until you are finally assigned to kill the boss at the top. I'd go with those while grabbing resources that you need to build whatever gadget you are looking at next. There are also a couple of secret chests that you can try to unlock by crafting a series of keys for them. The Halloween event similarly has a trophy that you can make by collecting certain resources.

>Grappling hook
The basic grappling hook is 100% the first thing you should craft, and only takes like four resources to do so thankfully. 

>Enemy noises
The bees at least have a pretty present noise, and there is a set number of them. There are some events like using the drills that summon waves, but even those are limited. You can 100% clear a safe area as a result. 

>Beehives
The beehives should show a green radar ping which will give you their location.

>Escape ropes
lolno, the ropes take a bit to get to. That's where the basic grappling hook comes into play. The escape ropes usually show up below you so I just hop off the extraction point and zip horizontally as needed. Once you have gotten used to things you can zip up and down like a pro while letting gravity help you.
