darrent83 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 First off great job, I'm loving the look and there aren't enough games that force you to survive in the wilderness. I'm about 10 days in and have been mainly wandering the map looking for the pig men before I set up a permanent camp. I have not found them yet and I'm wondering if they just start showing up when you build houses for them? Also what conditions should I look for when founding my camp? Should I explore the entire map before making this decision? I'm badly in need of storage and I feel like I have to found a central camp for that.

Excess Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 Personally, I make several camps. The first one is always on the island you start of, to gather and stock on food. Then, as I explore more of the map and start finding tiresome going back and forth to my camp I just make another one more "centric".I even have job specific camps, like one for gathering rocks, and another one for research, etc.It's up to you.Regarding the pigs, they always spawn on the island, there's no need to build them houses really. You just have to keep exploring until you find them.PS: Welcome to the forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrent83 Posted November 11, 2012 Author Share Posted November 11, 2012 Thanks for the info and the welcome. I'm pretty excited about this game and watching it grow and change. I may just run my character into some tentacles because at this point I'm very far away from the starting island with only a few scattered fire pits between.

mobius187 Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 As a note, if you really want pig men and cannot find them, then yes, building a pig house will "summon" them to you. One pig man per house will appear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZeroV Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 I am currently on my second playthrough and only have one real camp.Though it currently has 21 replanted berry bushes, same number in grass and in twigs. It also has three turbo plots for farming, a Tent, both science machines, crockpot, etc the list goes on.Its easy though because the way my map generated I have my camp built on the edge of what I call bunny plains(tons of rabbit holes).If you get a crockpot even spiders produce edible meat(4 monster meats in the crock = meaty stew that is super effective).I do not use pig men anymore, not so far this playthrough. So all I care about is harvesting poo from beefalo and getting ready to build a second base near the swamp I found. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
darrent83 Posted November 12, 2012 Author Share Posted November 12, 2012 Thanks ZeroV, I actually did find the pig men this time one island over. Haven't found the beefalo yet so I'm stockpiling berries to take to the pigs. I am running low on flint though, how do you remedy that? Just more exploring?

Toaster Fu Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 There's an island full of rocks, you can get a lot of flint that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
501105 Posted November 12, 2012 Share Posted November 12, 2012 And for the later game there is a solution that makes you less dependant on flint with the use of science. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
