The next step to your first settlement is Techlevel 2.

You reached Tech 1 and now you must fullfill the requirements for Tech 2 to get the permission to founding a settlement. Yes, you are right, you must build the buildings you get the permissions for with tech 1:

• CARPENTER
• HALL

The carpenter is quite simple as the before created buildings. But its necessary for get enough workplaces and resources for your settlement. so, create a CARPENTER building.

The HALL building is more complex, because you need some new blocks, the BOOKSHELF. So you must handle to get paper and books. Additional you need many signs to place them in the HALL as information center for your settlement.

Also you need some more reagents. In this case iron_ingot.

Remember that you create your buildings inside of the new founding HAMLET settlement.

When you build the HALL and the other required buildings , you can found a HAMLET. There for you must stay at the center of your HAMLET cube. There are nothing build or set at this point. Its a unvisible point. So stay and use the command 👍
