Characters gain new feats every two levels, starting at first level. So, you gain a feat at first level, a second feat at third, a new feat at fifth, and so on. There's a table on page 30 of the Core Rulebook that illustrates this.
It's tied to total number of class levels.
If the character is monstrous, it's tied to total number of class levels plus total number of monster HD.
Hello.
Simple question, can a character gain new feats as they increase in level? I can't find the answer in the core book. Is it tied to race, class, or other?
No.
As listed on the first page of the Class section, you only gain a feat at every odd level. The exception to this is classes that give you bonus feats and those are spelled out in detail on the class description.

Some classes will grant you a bonus feat based on the class chart, but the standard advancement is that you gain a feat every odd level.
