http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Beginner%27s_guideEssentialsthe most important things you need the first nights are: Wood, Coal/charcoal and food.
The first night.When you Spawn its important to start gathering wood at an instance, Wood is essential for your survival.
make sure you Mark the Spawn, Tekkit has Rei's minimap with an Marking function this could be very usefull.
Find a suitable location for your House, if you dont want it destroyed constantly make sure you are far from the spawn.
an ideal spot would be a place with no tree's but will be Connected to a forest.
My own personal favorite is the swamp
.
when you found the spot you love start gathering wood and build your house.
make it an simple 8x8 house.
Optinional: you could also dig into a hill and make a Cave house.
when it is finished make a work bench.
You make a Work bench by placing 4 logs in the 2x2 Crafting box in your inventory, which you can access by E or I or whatever you choose for your inventory key.
the Crafting Table is the most important item in the game.
after finishing the crafting table you will have to make a Pickaxe, shovel and a Axe.
those are key to your survival further on in the game.
