22winston Posted June 3, 2014 Share Posted June 3, 2014 Winston The Cat's Guide And Almanac To Dont StarveDont Starve Is a mysterious yet beautiful game. With tons of stuff to explore and do. So im gonna go into a insight for any new or old players. So im gonna sort my Guide into sections from surviving to food and planning ahead and facing the monsters that are at your door.So ill begin enough talking. Lets DO THIS.NOTE IM NOT DONE FoodSo food is very important to Dont Starve as well the name is Dont Starve. But food isnt all you have to worry about. Ok im getting off topic. If you are not familiar to the foods of dont starve there is a variety. Vegetables, Meats etc. So vegetables/fruits are replenishable besides the carrot but thats for later. So berries come in the form of berry bushes scattered around the map generated randomly depending on your world settings. That can be for later. So my suggestion to you is that collect all berries in sight and travel around for a bit looking for them. Dont harvest to many but harvest enough so you can survive and you can come back to revisit for another harvest. Now carrots they do not grow back and are scattered around the map. Most foods are cookable and theres just so much to get to. So my strategy for early games is well harvesting most of the berries letting them grow back. When you run low on food and the berries arent grown back yet like your in the middle of starvation go harvest some carrots and be preservative. So next is meat you can get meat from killing birds you get morsels etc you can get drumsticks and big chunks of meat from beefalo. So a tip it may not seem like a big difference but try to cook all your possible food. It helps but if you are in a death situation eat what ever you can to stay alive its better to live another day then to well be you know. So i didnt get to everything but i think its time to move on to another section. SurvivingSo dont starve is all about surviving and not starving. So what ever way you choose to live from being a nomad or a settler. Nomad being someone who travels and makes 1 night camps and well explores the map. Or settler who makes a base early game or does a combination of both. So not much to get into some stuff I could add but want to keep this short. ModdingSo before i go into anything i recommend not modding your game or installing mods early in game. Try not to use mods until you've really explored into the game. But the choice is yours. So with mods you can either just install it straight or go to the steam workshop if you bought the game VIA steam.

Recommended cooking food when its about to spoil cause it increases the spoil health :3^v^Fun fact: Carrots replenish the same amount of hunger uncooked. The only difference is 2 extra health gained from eating it. But yes, do cook things when they are about to spoil.

Sashimi should be the end-all win-all to food in this game, but yeah that would be a little easy.

Kinda disregarded that since I always have a crock pot up by the time I'm farming.
