Eventually, though, you will almost certainly find yourself doing the things described here and asking yourself 'What now?'
Honestly, you really do need to have a bit of that pioneering spirit, the ability to be self motivated and the courage to formulate and pursue your own goals.
For myself I have mostly found that a fairly natural process though. You build your house and you realise that you need or want some tool, weapon, bit of furniture or more space to farm in .. and there you have your goal. Terraform a large space for fields. Make your house bigger so that you have more storage space. Make a better weapon so that you can kill better or some armour so that you dont die quite so quickly again.
