Food Is An Issue

[Courage10000]

It is too difficult to stay up on hunger in SW. Nothing heals a decent amount of hunger. More than half of my deaths in SW are from starvation, or dying to something in the process of getting food. Like, dying to snakes whilst harvesting berries or something. The game is Don't Starve obviously, but I shouldn't have to micromanage my hunger. SW is so hard it makes RoG look like a joke. I think there needs to be more food, or boost the saturation of the food (limpets, seaweed, jellyfish, bananas, etc.) Only decent food in the game from what I saw, is sweet potatoes, but they're only found in meadows. That biome is scarce, but most of them hardly have any anyway. You can't really evade this problem.

Have you tried to make a crock pot and make an actual meal? 1 meat 3 anything gets you a meal for a day unless you're playing wolfgang or wes. I found food to be super abundant in shipwrecked, the second season even rains filler from the sky.

I have the same experience as pizza. OP, I think your struggle may just come from a general inexperience with DS. If anything, I'd like them to lower the availability of food even more. Even while merely scavenging food you come across as you explore, you can amass so much food that a majority of it will rot before you can eat it. Also, the same hyper-easy strats exist for food such as killing spiders/snakes for monster meat, then using 3 filler (berries or ice) for meatballs.

Ice Machines provide a way to get good filler, Spider Nests are more easily contained with separate islands, Crabs provide fish morsels, Birds convert monster meats to eggs, limpets provide a fish value for crock pots, and there are literally fish everywhere. Be resourceful and you'll find more ways to be a fatty.

I think food is not that difficult to find in Shipwrecked. There are so many trees, and large ones usually give you one food item. Seaweed is very easy to find and is a great filler in the crockpot. Mussels can be harvested with the use of a mussel stick (this takes time but there are plenty of mussels). If you find an island with lots of limpet rocks, again there is another easy food source. One biome is filled with sweet potatoes. All of these things can be used as filler with one meat in a crockpot to make meatballs, which is a very good food item in terms of value. You can even use ice from hail storms as filler with one meat. I think food in shipwrecked is as abundant as it is in normal don't starve and don't starve reign of giants DLC.

Sorry OP but someone has to say it - before you start making new topics on forums maybe you should go read up on Wiki a bit. Building a crockpot is the most basic among basic mechanics in DS.

I don't have this problem at all, I regularly survive without using a crock pot. Just use a trawl net and you are set, cooked jellyfish is an amazing source of food.

[Talavaj]

You are supposed to get food from the water. Shoals, nets, jellyfish, dogfishes, mussels, crabs and tons of seaweed.

You also get lots of food from snakes and monkeys.

Plus jungle trees drop eggs and bananas while the palms drop coconuts.

 

As far as food goes SW is by far the easiest.

[PhelsarusBeel]

Wait people actually starve in Shipwrecked?

 

i mean it's not like food is all over the place like Mussels, Limpets, Coconuts (although those are for emergencys only), Fish and seaweed.

 

I mean i can survive a single day as Wolfgang on Seaweed alone without needing to use a Crockpot because food is so overanbundant it's not even funny.

 

And that's only the pinacle of foodsources you got Pigs, Spiders, Snakes and Apes that if done right also provide so much food that you have no idea what to do with it before it eventually spoils.

 

And if you really got trouble with food just play Webber since Monstermeat is so common from snakes so you have even less reasons to starve.
