Not been playing for some time.

[ZeZesRevenge]

So we've not been playing for some time (a few years) and we will start a world with 3 people. So, any tips, warnings and character recs? Thanks in advance.

Depends, if you already have basic survival knowledge then among the new stuff since you last played I can only suggest you avoid relying on bunnies for food if you're not confident in your combat skills.

Otherwise, if making it through the game's basic dangers is still something you haven't mastered, then make sure you explore the world. There's a good supply of food all over, but it's not too densely packed so staying in the same general area will find you running into scarcity pretty quickly. A crockpot is very powerful for sustaining your hunger if you can figure it out. Which, while I'm on the topic, that doesn't necessarily mean I recommend Warly who starts with a portable crockpot. They're finicky enough that you're better off avoiding them if you're not familiar with cooking.

Wigfrid and Willow are going to have some handy team support options while also having some personal advantages that can ease the challenge of survival. Walter also has some fun and practical team support skills but suffers quite a bit when taking injuries so he's not super suitable for inexperienced players. Wendy and Woodie can shrug off the threat of the game's earliest noob trap, which is the danger of spiders. Webber sidesteps the danger of spiders entirely, but requires knowing what you're doing if you want to take advantage of his ability to befriend spiders while also co-operating with other players. Maxwell and Wickerbottom have powerful resource gathering/production options and unique combat abilities that aid in a various ways. Notable team-up synergies are Woodie and Wigfrid (Wigfrid's heartrending ballad helps Woodie's Weremoose become extremely durable in combat), Maxwell and Wickerbottom (not quite a synergy, so much Maxwell being the only other character* who can take advantage of Wickerbottom's books)

The four unlockable characters (Wortox, Wormwood, Wanda and Wurt) have quite powerful strengths, though it may be difficult to take full advantage of them if you're a beginner. Wigfrid, Wolfgang, Woodie and Wendy are the characters with the simplest options for handling the game's most dangerous situation: getting targeted by a horde enemies.

Итак, мы не играли какое-то время (несколько лет) и теперь начнём игру втроём. Итак, какие-нибудь советы, предостережения и рекомендации по выбору персонажа? Заранее спасибо.

Take three Wes. It's better character without flaws.

Even if your not beginners depending on how long you have not been playing since a bunch of new content or changes to the things you used to know will make you feel like your starting new again.

As just one example out of many “plant” based mobs now properly set on fire more easily, yes this includes Wormwood.

[hyoton123]

What do you remember was the state of the game going back a few years? How far did you get into the game?

[Ridley]

Maybe don't kill a bunch of rabbits.

[reddocc]

people are sleeping on king rabbit, as long as you don't kill him he is a endless supply of bunnyman drops

Depends on how many players you have I guess..? King evil rabbit overlord by himself would not be much of an issue, it’s when he spawns endless bunny overlord bodyguards that he becomes a problem.

yes technically you can “escape” him by ducking down into a cave or by getting on a boat and fleeing the land, otherwise: this thing pursues you more relentlessly than even the MacTusk the so called “Hunter” mob.

Personally I find it weird why Klei would add a noob friendly food dish to the game (like bunny stew) which restores decent amounts of health with as little as 1 morsel and 3 ice.

But then they go and add the evil rabbit king to punish you for overly relying upon this noob friendly food dish.

Now because I am NOT a noob I’ll bypass using rabbits altogether for my morsels and instead just kill birds or something.. but the point still stands that Bunny Stew & Bunny Overlord are an evil combination.

Just enjoy, have fun, and don't starve

If you are all pretty experienced already, some fresh advice I can give are:

- Drying racks are now pretty good, specially in early game, it got updated and now has 3 slots for drying stuff. 

- "Voidwalking" in caves is no longer possible, it got fixed like a year ago. You can build bridges between 2 biomes now, its expensive but if the bridge is near a stone pillar.(protects from earthquakes) it pretty much never breaks.

- Theres a giant worm that can now spawn in caves, replaces the normal worm waves. It doesnt have an interesting loot table tbh, so my advise is that if you like the challenge fight it, otherwise just avoid it, make it spawn on an empty area and just run away, since it despawns.

- Fuelweaver's cheese method using 2 lureplants got fixed. There are more ways to fight it "legally" now (Winona+catapults is one of the easiest), but theres still some...cheesy methods.

- For the rift content, you first need to kill Celestial Champion for surface, and Fuelweaver for caves. I would advise you to wait for a while before activating it, if you rush it you can have a hard time, specially lunar rift with the brightshades that infect grass, twigs and berry bushes. Shadow rift is technically "easier" than Lunar rift, so if anything, activate shadow rift first.

- If yall want to kill the Warbot/Scion at some point, don't build anything on Pearl Island, its pretty much an arena now. Post-rift she gets evicted and moves to Monkey Island.

- Glass became a bit easier to farm and its pretty good since you can now learn the craft for the glass axes and glass cutters. Bath bombs are relatively cheap now too, so its worth farming some glass from the thermal ponds if you got lucky with the world generation.

- Boulderboughs (the new "rock tree" that got added on this last update) is awesome on ruins, it has a chance for gems of any color and thulecite fragments. Its pretty good on most cave biomes, but not so much on surface biomes.

- Sunken Treasures are worth the farm, its loot table got reworked a while ago, it now has chance for an improved boat, and a seed that can turn into 2 new trees: one that gives "nightvision berries" (amazing for caves), and the other that literally gives gems of any colour.
