Wow, 2-3 hours. At that time, I probably have a manual tree farm and some foodstuff growing, possibly a few machines hooked up for some early ore processing and if I'm lucky, maybe have a roof on my barricade I call home. Almost like we play a totally different game.
That sounds about like what I have at 3 hours, I normally spend the first 15-20 minutes just gathering wood and some cobble for tools, probably have a quartz grindstone, a large manual farm, and am working on my first temporary home. I like to get a small house setup before I start anything really, probably with an underground storage room for when I get my turtle going...then some basic machines, AE...and then everything else.
