Dont Starve Thread

Yeah sounds like a good idea. I almost died on the 2nd night of my 2nd playthrough. I had prepared a tuft of grass to toss onto the fire, but then got distracted chopping down trees next to my camp. Realised a split second too late that I hadn't lit the fire just as nightfall hit.

Couldn't find the firepit in the dark, so it was only crafting a torch at the last second that saved me from the Grue's wrath

Not good man..

The second character will help you with that, she's a Pyromaniac. She has a lighter which can be used as a torch (setting trees on fire is fun).

I've had a fair few plays now (3-4) and have deduced that waiting to set up base camp may be a good idea, everytime i've set up in the wrong place.

Last time i thought i had it, it was on the edge of a forest, near lots of rabbits and gold...

Though had to go miles to get some twigs and grass and beefalo were miles away (half-day walk).

Yeah. Your base camp pretty much should always be near Beefalo or Pigs. As soon as you can make a spade and start digging up saplings, grass and berry bushes. Plant them all in your new base camp and spread poop liberally.

My 3rd playthrough is going better. Got a good camp set up with loads of rabbits nearby and I've got a berry, tree and twig farm set up. Also made a couple of improved farms and got a drying wrack for curing meats. Currently on day 19 and trying to get ready for winter.

Took aaaages and lots of exploring, but I finally found a group of beefalo. There about half a days walk from my main base, but I only need them for manure anyway, so its not problem to make occasional trips to get more poop.

And I found Chester!

Been playing this and it's awesome and addictive.

I've put my second copy on MM cheap if anyone was interested.
