chenais Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 In DST, summer is by far the most annoying season you will have to deal with. Overheating, wild fire, all crops dying, and so many other reasons make this season a real annoyance to deal with. However, there is something that completely negates summer's bad effects: the caves! While in the caves, there is no overheating and no wild fire. This is why the best way to deal with summer is by far spending it into the caves. Not only do you get all of the caves goodies, but in addition, you avoid wasting a whole season doing nothing. For those who never thought about it, give it a try!

Sweaper Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 1 hour ago, chenais said: @JosePapp well most players don't do this. Most players don't use the forum either. Plus, there are plenty of suggestion in here on how to make things in DST harder, not easier, so making guides for basic things isn't that helpful here and spamming those guides for every little thing in DST makes it worse. But if you want to make an in depth guide on surviving in a single thread you're welcomed. There are plenty of those already, but eh, if you want to discuss about it there is nothing stopping you from making it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowDigga Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Except being forced to live in the caves where activities are somewhat limited compared to the overworld is only somewhat less boring anyway. You can spend maybe 1-2 first summers in caves but after that what is there left to do other than killing fuelweaver and clearing ruins? Not much.

OMGkawaiiAngel Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 Just base in the OasIs, no wild-fires only darude sandstorms.

Well-met Posted March 28, 2020 Share Posted March 28, 2020 I was more expecting of "build a boat and keep jumping off the plank". this is boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now I'm getting confused, is it a thread for beginners teaching the basics or survival, or is it a pro guide about playing "efficiently" and building megabases in the caves?

That's an argueable matter. It kind of falls into commitment of the community about guides rather than devs and mods making a new subforum about it. I doubt alot of people read guides these days since there's a ton of videos, tutorials on YouTube, Steam etc. Unless they want to drill deeper for some details or things they couldnt find in those videos. The best way of learning the game is by simply playing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sounds a massive amount of time actually doing so. Is the time and resources worth it just for one season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theforumlurker Posted March 29, 2020 Share Posted March 29, 2020 I guess if you planned ahead in terms of supplies, support and defences and I guess over time during the year you could be working on a cave base just in case if everything goes bad or be a real man and try to fight off summer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
