Mmmfishtacos said: Anyone playing don't starve right now? If so what's your tip for survival? I just got to day 8 again when i noticed that i was getting hungry and on the verge of death from it. So i attacked the first thing i saw for food. It was a tall bird. Big mistake. looks like i'm starting over again. Thats not the first time something like that has killed me, one time i walked up to an abandoned house, i thought it would be a good source of wood. So i stated harming it down, when these weird green pig like things jumped out and instantly killed me. Then another when i was walking in the woods and was attacked by a walking evergreen. The game so frustrating some times, but at the same time very good, as i've been playing all day. |
1) Start with exploring. find out your surroundings. Find a forest, find some berry buses, and carrots. Remember where things are on the map. I dont think ccarrots re-grow naturally so save them for when you need them. Food goes bad after its been picked so if you leave things growing you can come back to it later. Only pick what you need.
2)manure and gauno are one of the MOST important resources in the game. Try to set your base camp near a herd or 2. They can also be your defence. I had a guard tree spawn in the forest i planted next to my base, I had him follow me and i ran into the middle of the herd. They fought and i went back and got the "live logs" from the dead tree, and meat from dead Beefalo. Be warry though, while mostly friendly, they can become very aggresive. I think this is when they are having babies.
3) FARM! With the shovel you can move plants. Like berrybushes, trig trees, and grass. Between days 5-10, you should be gathering manure and transplanting the berry bushes you found exploring in the first couple days.
4) you havent got there yet, but just after day 10 your put to a test and attacked by 2 hounds. I highly recomend you have a spear and plant armor at this point. You are warned prior, so just week them in your inventory around that point, equipthem for the battle then pick up your backpack when your done.
5) Gather by day, organize by nite. If you have the time. and if you buld your fire pit relatively close to the forest your planting you can just chop at nite.
6) at one point your gonna wanna craft a torch, head a ways from your camp to be safe, and light a bunch of trees on fire. when you chop them after they are burnt you get charcoal which is needed to make a crock-pot. The crock-pot helps alot in keeping your sanity. And if you find your going insane it might be best to sleep, BUT sleeping takes have your hunger so be ready to have food for when you get up.
7) The thing you attacked was a pigs house. You can actually feed pigs meet and have them as friendlies to fight battles for you. There is also a pig king you can trade with to get gold.
8) Get ready for winter... plants dont grow when temps are below 0. and there are penguins lol I was walking along a shoreline and 10 penguins hoped out of the water and attacked me, killing me instantly. lol
