If all the artificial stuff was to suddenly dissapear, that is, food, clothing, buildings, processed materials, tools, machines, everything, like if we just arrived to a new empty planet with only natural resources and nature, what would be the processes to follow to achieve what we have nowadays ? like... we'd need to to get raw materials first, but we'd need to produce the tools first, etc etc.. (clothes, houses, computers, everything is build by means machines, which are also build by other machines, and tools are too).

I bet you hated history lessons too..
The trick is to bang the rocks together.
Ok, a bit more detail...
Bang some flint rocks together to make arrow heads and simple wood working tools.
Use wooden shovels to dig up some light brown dirt (clay) and some red/brown dirt (iron ore)
Meanwhile use the flint tools and the shovels to make some charcoal from trees.
Peel an animal and let the hide soak in tree bark, use this to make some bellows.
Thats the prep work...
Using the clay to make a furnace and smelting pot with the charcoal to fire it assisted by the bellows, you boil the red/brown rocks and hey presto you got iron.
Iron can be cast into sand molds.
If you blow yet more air through molten iron while adding charcoal you get steel.
Hope you dont mind if I leave computers till another day? that gets a little bit more involved.

ew did a school project on this. The first thing you'd have to do was come up with some sort of form of government, and then we'd have to go from there depending on what the system we created called for.

Start building the tools with your hands. Everything will slowly build from there.
