danhern 10 Report post Posted December 29, 2012 Hey guys I've just bought a copy of Don't Starve and I finally survived long enough to get some research points and a science machine and found a pig village. I was wondering what should i research and build first? A logsuit or a spear I have 150 research points and I've already researched rope. Thanks for the help (if anyone acually helps ).

vinchon 10 Report post Posted December 29, 2012 An effigy isn't all that neccesary early in the game especially if your careful. A logsuit also isn't as important as the spear if you know how to kite. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BarovSoap 878 Report post Posted December 29, 2012 Research tip: I found using the dug up plants give you a nice amount of research points as do the dug up items from graves.Go for log suit, spear (very easy to make), and once you have an alchemy engine research the football helmet and you will be good to go for most of your days.

TheHomeChicken 57 Report post Posted December 29, 2012 Get the logsuit, just in case anything attacks you. Since you're new to the game, i doubt you know how to kite, so a logsuit is the way to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jangofet 45 Report post Posted December 29, 2012 if you found a pig village try to get a pig skin by getting a pig to fight with another one (feed one meet and tell it to attack another pig) and hope you get pigskin. Go for the football helmet and the spear first, because the helmet is easier to make than the logsuit. The logsuit can come last. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rodrigo4sb 19 Report post Posted December 29, 2012 I vote for logsuit, so much protection, good for calculate damage too, better for escape( almost every enemy lose aggro when you run away, making it even better). Spear is very useful, but, without the logsuit, fight is so dangerous, reducing the spear's potential...Anyway, after a good graveyard you probably can make both...

karetsos 10 Report post Posted December 29, 2012 spear: usefull for defense (when needed), also for killing rabbits and birds from trapslog suit: failsafe but takes the backpack slot and in the begining you need alot of space to carry itemsmy vote would be spear + pig helmet Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rodrigo4sb 19 Report post Posted December 29, 2012 For the pig helmet (100RP) you need the alchemy engine (200RP) that needs cut stone (100RP) and boards (100RP) = 500RP.For the logsuit (100RP) you just need the rope (30RP) = 130RP ~ and the rope will be used for the spear.Still stay with the logsuit.

Bee 10 Report post Posted December 29, 2012 You already got the logsuit...i was gonna vote for the spear. Your suit ll break fast if you only have a tool (axe, shovel, pick) to attack ennemies. Next step will be the spear...or try to get a tentacle spike if you are close to a swamp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
