Your favorite method of gathering food (EARLY)?

[Viktor234]

I actually don't really know how I manage to survive the first days without starving. I just grab whatever I can find to eat, like Seeds, Monster Meat, Green Caps, Blue Caps, etc. and just survive by eating these.

[GetRektKids]

Me personally? It really depends on where the game is. 

 

Day 1-20: Raw Koalapahnt meat (Until I set up a crockpot, once I do then meatballs)

Day 21-35: Meatballs (Ice, and Monster-Meat) OR Meatballs (Meat, and Carrots) [Bunny Farm]

Day 36-55: Normally Honey Nuggies :3 (Honey farm that I set up day 15ish')

Day 56-70: Meatballs (Stone Fruit, and Monster-Meat)

 

Then I live off of Stone Fruit Meatballs for the next few years

Lunar Island as Woodie by day 5 and never have to worry about food for the rest of the game.

Seeds and Wolfgang, for full map explore before winter.

Something I tend to do in the early game if I have a bunch of butterfly wings and no crockpot is to utilize the health bar as a secondary hunger bar by intentionally starving away portions of health, then replenishing it with the butterfly wings. That way you get a few extra seconds of "pseudo-hunger" out of your healing food.

looking for food at the beginning of the game huh?

take berries and carrots, make torches, burn forests, make crockpot

then .....

First, I definitely hunt for butterflies,
(1 butterfly, 1 red mushroom (vegetables), 2 twigs)

second, kill anything that looks (pig or spider or catcoon or turky)
(1 meat, 3 berries)

Third, make beebox to get honey
honey for healing
(monster meat + 3x honeys) 20 hp
