I want to go to the caves/ruins. What do I need down there to survive?


Recommended Posts

Light.  A miner's hat is prolly the best.  You can refill it with light bulbs.

 

At least some food.  There's some down there, but it might not be much or might be hard to gather.

 

Something to deal with sanity loss.  A tam o shanter aint gonna do it.  You need green mushrooms or taffy or pumpkin cookies or something like that.

 

Weapons & armor.  It can get violent down there.

 

A pick, because rocks.

 

Be careful taking meat, bunnymen immediately attack you if the see you carrying it.

Oh and BTW, seems like the devs are not fixing the free Nightmare Fuel drop at the end of the Nightmare Cycle. That means that if you want to set up camp down there, don't make a fire pit, make a Night Light instead. Nightmare Fuel is easier to get than wood down there and it will burn for longer (4 Nightmare Fuel = 1 day and a half light).

So yeah, Night Light has a use now.

Food- Prepare some good value food to take with you.Bacon & egg and honey ham gives nice stats plus they spoil after 15 days outside icebox.

Light - Make the miner hat and lantern later.You can refuel with lightbulbs

Armor &  Weapons - Prefered Tentacle spikes for hard hitting and Log armor + materials to make other 2-3 armors.Icestaff if u plan to go ruins... those stupid monkeys are extremely annoying to catch when they steal from you.

Heal - Make some honey Poultice.You need some emergency heal for sure down there.

Sanity regen stuff - Have with you taffy and/or green mushrooms.Also blue/green mushrooms can be found around in caves just keep an eye on,remember to cook it first.Also Tam o' Shanner combined with lantern when not in danger to refill some sanity.

Icebox and Crockpot - If u plan to spent more days down there,if want t be more organized,estabilish a mini base with 1 icebox and 1-2 crockpots.This will keep your food even more days without return to surface.Prefer areas to built ur mini base is 1- some areas with natural light while is day/dusk. 2-near some rocklobsters 3-on the cave entrance if its safe enough or have allies around.

Chester - You need him to carry even more stuff for you and also carry your meaty food to avoid aggro from Bunnymen.Be aware to dont let monsters to kill him.

Tools - Or have materials to built,especially for ruins,hammer,pickaxe etc

Sleeping Roll - If ur sanity goes extremely low.Make sure that u have food of course...

Thats all as i can think for now...
