Svetozar Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 Hello Don't Starve Community, Before we begin,I will tell you that I have some mods installed,mainly GUI or something like Minimap,I would not recommend map revealer (that's a cheat,really) or something like that (nothing against the mods,I'm just saying that if you want true Don't Starve experience then don't have those, as I call them, "cheat mods").So recently I have been dying a lot in Don't Starve,by some amateur mistakes,and that inspired me to make a tutorial that shows you how to survive the first winter,without Reign of Giants DLC,so only the vanilla (without Autumn and Spring seasons,that's a little bit hardcore,but maybe I'll make a tutorial for those seasons too).First of all, I ain't some professional player, which has a thousand-day long survival, I picture myself as a decent player in Don't Starve community,so don't take my advices as 100% correct or "The right way to do it".However,if you are a newbie to Don't Starve you can use these tips and trick as a way to expand and enchance your survival techniques and, hopefully, survive your first winter!1.Picking the right Character *Character menu There are several different characters in Don't Starve.Each one of them has different abilities,maybe some bits & bobs involved (books,axes,flowers etc.)In total there are 12 characters (3 of them are DLC characters)they are: Wilson,Willow,Wolfgang,Wendy,WX-78,Wickerbottom,Woodie,Wes,Maxwell (a.k.a William),Wigfrid,Webber and Walani.I think one of the best characters is *drum roll*... WilsonMany will disagree with me,but he can grow an magnificent beard,which,when you shave,gives you beard hair.With it,you can craft meat effigys.Meat Effigy is like a doll which reincarnates you when you die,but,as a price,will lower down your max health.Also,if you have a fully grown beard it will give you insulation against cold (which you will probably need).If I were to pick character that was not Wilson for my survival world,it would probably be Wolfgang,the mighty.He is abnormally strong..and has an abnormally large stomach.If you don't feed him up till' full,he will lose some of his strenght.You can pick any character you want,but if you are a newbie you gotta play with Wilson,because you don't have a choice,do you? To unlock others,you may need to get somme XP,and you get XP when you survive,and don't starve. 2.The World THESE ARE THINGS YOU SHOULD NOT DO:DO NOT GO INSANEDO NOT BE KILLEDDO NOT FREEZE TO DEATHDO NOT OVERHEATDO NOT GET SLAYED BY SPIDERSDO NOT ALLOW DEMONS OF THE NIGHT CONSUME YOUAND MOST IMPORTANTLY: There is a lot of work to be done,you may die several times before you perfect this method,and don't feel disappointed because you died.If this doesn't work for you,try something different,experiment. *Spawning in the world ; Maxwell *Crafting tools The Don't Starve world may seem cruel and morbid,but it really isn't (if you Don't Starve).Every time you start a new game you spawn in grassland.Here's a quick biome quide:===================================================================================Grasslands:The real biome to go.It has plenty of,resources,saplings,grass,trees,flint,seeds,mushrooms,carrots,bees,berries,rabbits.You will always build a base around here.Forest:Good,but not really.It does not contain any rabbits,bees,berries or flint.It has a lot of trees and saplings,and spider dens spawn in this biome,which will be really useful later in the game.I do not recommend building a base here.Savannah:Not really a place for a base.It is overflowing with rabbits,and Beefalos,which will be desired later for meat and food.There is a lot of grass there.Nothing else really.Rocky-like Lands:In them you will find rocks and tallbirds (DO NOT MESS WITH TALLBIRDS EARLY ON).When you dig up all the rocks the (as I call it) Rockylands will no longer serve a purpose.Swamp (a.k.a Marsh):It's a really bad place (food spoils quicker,a lot of mobs,monsters),you can find ponds and tentacle spikes (Don't mess with them,seriously,they can kill you in 1 hit if you don't have full health)Caves & Sinkholes:If you are a newbie stay OUT of these.If you dig up a sinkhole,at dusk,bats will spawn (they are hardcore, mate). When you spawn,make sure you gather a lot of sticks (a.k.a. twigs),grass,logs and flint for your adventure (you gotta explore the world mate).Also,collect some flowers for your sanity and make a Garland,you'll need it.When you explored the world enough (3 days at least) you should dig up some rocks and gold,and settle in a neat place(You can find rocks in Rockylands,and you can get gold by mining the gold-stripped boulders).I always settle in 3 biome transition (or 2 biome transition).Beefalo is NEEDED (seriously though) you will have a bad time if you don't have Beefalo wool (I'll later talk about how can you kill Beefalos without a single lost healthpoint; hit&run basically) I settle beetwen these biomes: Savannah (for rabbits and Beefalo),Grassland (for saplings,flint,berries,bees, and so on...) and sometimes forest (for trees maybe,and saplings).You should have an science machine and an alchemical engine until (max) day 7.You should really have them a little bit earlier than that,so you can gather more resources.When you complete these two sciency products,you should build an fire pit.When the fire goes out in it,the fire pit won't disappear,you can add more fuel whenever you want.Make sure to prototype a shovel *ASAP so you can collect Grass and Sapling Tufts and "plant" them in your base.*ASAP means as soon as possible===================================================================================YOU SHOULD CRAFT AN SPEAR *ASAP BECAUSE OF THE HOUNDS (They strike at random times,be prepared for anything)You should find several spider dens and farm them.You farm them by luring them into traps (Which you can craft in the Survival Tab by using 2 twigs and 6 cut grass).It is an efficient method of farming them,and only that I know.If you find a savannah that is near to your base,make sure you set a lot of traps (it would be helpful during winter) so you have a lot of morsels.Now,you should kill a couple of Beefalos.This is my technique:Firstly,have a spear and a log suit (you never know what is going to happen).Find an Beefalo that has departed from his herd (if you hit a Beefalo and another one sees you,the both of them will chase you),hit him and RUN SON,RUN. --you can quote me on that .Every time he tries to hit you,an animation has got to be played,thus slowing down the Beefalo.You should use that to your advantage.Run into the Beefalo,then go away instantly,he will try to hit you but will fail.You use that moment to hit him exactly 4 times,run away and repeat till you kill him.If 3 or more Beefalo chases you,ur screwed m8.Just run away.Another important thing is manure,you should collect it,for the farms.Do not make the basic farm,just the advance one (you're wasting your resources by building a basic farm,advance farm is just a tad little bit more expensive).===================================================================================If you feel unprotected at your base,just wall it off,and make some tooth traps using the hounds tooth.===================================================================================Okay,so for your long-term survival you will need Drying Racks and Crock Pots.They are crafted with ropes,charcoal,refined stones,and boards.You can prototype all this (except charcoal,which you get by burning down trees) in the Science Machine.Be really careful when burning down trees,and do not burn them near your base,you WILL regret it.Make an lighting rod too,so a Lightning won't screw you.On subject of Beefalo,don't kill them all,they will reproduce.While it is night you can craft a razor and shave them to get Beefalo wool,or you can just...kill them.===================================================================================You collect the Silk,Meat,Wool,Stone,Wood,Twigs,Grass,Morsel, shall you have Sciency stuff,shall you then finally rest.Gather more resources,more,more,more,and you should be ready for winter...but not really.You see,on winter it is cold.And you do not have any clothes to heat you up.So you shall craft the Breezy vest and the Beefalo hat.===================================================================================---===CRAFTING BREEZY VEST===---In your Don't Starve world you will sometimes see a "suspicious dirt pile",and when you uncover them all they will lead you to either Winter or Summer Koalefant (depending on the season,duh) you can craft Puffy Vest,buy you will need to get winter Koalefant trunk,and you don't have that beast during the summer,do you? So you will need to kill the summer koelafant to get the much needed 8 meat and his trunk.You will need some silk too,so farm a lot of spiders.===================================================================================---===CRAFTING THE BEEFALO HAT===---Just kill some Beefalos and there is a 33% chance that you will get Beefalo Horn.You will need Beefalo wool to.But don't kill to much Beefalos,or any other living thing in Don't Starve...you monster.There was a karma thing that if you kill or destroy too much wildlife you will get owned later by some monsters and fires and lightnings.I don't know if that game mechanic still exists,I haven't experienced any disasters,so just kill,kill,kill.jk don't kill to much,who knows what will happen...?===================================================================================---===ONE LAST THING===---Later on you should craft these things:Ice box; (Crafted using gears;they are obtained by killing clockwork monsters)Bee boxes; (You will need to destroy bee boxes and capture some bees using nets)Bee boxes are used for farming honey.If you put 4 honey in a crock pot you will get a health healing meal.===================================================================================I think this is enough...for now.If I made a mistake somewhere please tell me.I ain't no native English speaker,nor do I know this language to perfection,so please,correct me.If some pros read this,tell me if I use far more inefficient ways of doing things than I should do.If someone did not understand this "tutorial" please contact me. -Your loyal Don't Starve player, Moexxman Link to comment https://forums.kleientertainment.com/forums/topic/62106-dont-starve-for-dummies-surviving-the-first-winter/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
DragonMage156 Posted January 8, 2016 Share Posted January 8, 2016 This is really helpful. A few things you can add is: - if you kill too much, Krampus will come after you and loot all chests and bags you leave at your base.- You can get gears from digging up Graves as well. Along with other stuff that may seem useless and unusable (just trade it with the pig king and get gold from it).- more about the orange/Autumn biome (usually filled with Catcoons, birchnut trees and, if you're lucky, a Glommer).- Catcoons can be easy to kill for a source of meat (especially if you play as Wigfrid).- Birchnut trees give you birchnuts in Spring and Autumn. You can either plant them or cook them for food. Just look out for poison birchnut trees (they disappear after about a day if you stay away from them).- Swamps are good for easy loot from spiders and tentacles (silk, glands and tentacle spikes which can be used as a weapon). Just be careful to not be eaten by them.- more info on Chester and his other versions (snow and dark and how to obtain them). (In my opinion, snow would probably be more helpful than dark as for it acts much like a portable icebox). I've also found this helpful: - making hats/earmuffs early on in the game(or in Autumn) can be helpful. I'd make about 2 or 3 earmuffs to make sure they last. Just don't wear them at night if you're by the fire to save durability.- Thermal stones are helpful for obvious reasons. They can be warmed by the fire (even when you're holding it) and keep you warm during the day and be cooled by being placed in the Icebox/Snow Chester.- Getting some ice near the end of Winter can be good for making iceblocks for Summer. Store them in the icebox until Summer starts as for they do not have durability and can melt over time.- and I'm not sure about endothermic fire but I think it's cooler in the Summer than a fire pit if you use nitre. That's all I can think of at the moment. I hope this helps. Edit: oops, I included things for Summer when this was a thread for Winter ^^' oh well.

Wusscake Posted January 9, 2016 Share Posted January 9, 2016 I agree with half of this and I disagree with the other half. Strongly. You're right to tell people to stockpile grass and sticks because they are the backbone of many recipes and most recipes require a lot of one or the other. As for you saying not to build a base in the forest, it's really situational. You can't just always say "build a base in grassland it's safe" because that grassland might not have anything good in it and now the player has to waste a lot of time running far to get resources, and wasting time is a big no-no. You want to be efficient in your first few days so you can get an alchemy machine by day 10 at the absolute latest and get to work on building things that greatly increase your survivability and make things easier. Best place to build a base, in my opinion, is somewhere relatively close to a spider's nest. OP says to pretty much avoid them, I say you absolutely need them because winter WILL kill you if starving or monsters don't when the game gets late. Also, silk is needed for a great deal of recipes along with an alchemy machine, like a bug's net, tent, top hat, boomerang (great for first hitting koelephant's and 1 shotting rabbits instead of wasting time/resources on traps), and especially a winter's hat. Spiders are also a great source of monster meat, which can be mixed in crockpot recipes or fed to pigs (I'll explain both of these later). Chances are if you're new, you don't have much, if any, knowledge about the game, and will suck at combat. That's fine, it's not very complex and you'll learn how eventually. Until then, use a science machine and make a log suit. Use it when you're gonna fight something and know you're gonna get hit, like tall birds or hounds. I don't recommend using for spiders because they attack slow, can be stunlocked, and die in 3-4 hits, so log armor is just kinda a waste of time and space on these. Armor is a key component in this game for all non-advanced players, and with log armor giving 80% damage reduction, there's no need to not have one handy (once you get an alchemy machine and a pig skin, you can make a football helmet to keep your backpack on, but stick with the log suit until then). Crockpot recipes. Learn them. I'll tell you a few to help be efficient and make the most recipes out of what you have. Meatballs - the most common of the recipes. Restores around 65 hunger now (used to be 75, they nerfed it a bit), I think 3 hp. Use it mainly for hunger. Throw one meat and any assortment of veggies/filler foods in with it, you'll almost always get meatballs. They last a little while, so even if you're not hungry, make one or two and take'em with you. Exceptions to watch for: Frog legs - these can be used as necessary meat if you don't have monster meat or anything else laying around for meatballs. However, if you mix them with any veggies, it will turn into a froggie bunwich. The recipe also takes considerably longer to cook. Using one berry is fine with the frog legs, but two or more makes a bunwich. Any meats used with the froggie legs is fine. Meat stew - restores 150 hunger, 10 hp, 5 sanity. Requires a meat value of 3.0 or greater to make. Food have values assigned to them. Some are 0.5, others are 1. Things like morsels and frog legs have meat value of 0.5. Large meat/monster meat has meat value of 1. Berries are .5 vegetable value, anything else is 1. You will need 2 large meats and 2 smaller meats to make this efficiently. You can use 3 or 4 large meats if you really want though, just remember: 2 or more monster meats always makes monster lasagna (there are two exceptions, will explain later). You can use 1 monster meat for one of the large meats, and monster meat is easy to get. Large meat, however, requires a bit more work. I recommend tracking a koelephant and killing it if you have a ranged weapon. Just remember not to get hit by it. (If you have a large amount of monster meat, I recommend feeding 4 to a pig to transform him into a werepig, then kill him. Werepigs always drop 2 large meats and a pig skin, all of which are incredibly useful, especially the skin. Be careful, they hit you for 50 without armor) Froggie bunwich - Sandwich made from frog legs. Restores 35 hunger, 20 hp, 5 sanity. I recommend using this if you need hp and can't find spider glands or fish to recover hp. Only requirements for this recipe is you need 1 frog leg and a vegetable value of 1 or higher. 2 berries or 1 veggie will satisfy that requirement. Fishsticks - a glorious recipe for intermediate/advanced players (and beginners too, if they can get the ingredients without too much effort). Restores 37.5 hunger, 40 hp, 5 sanity. This food heals a ton, highly recommend if you need the hp. Requirements for recipe is 1 fish and 1 twig. Other 2 ingredients cannot include mandrakes, corn, or more twigs. Use anything else - berries, mushrooms, ice, or, my personal favorite - 2 monster meats! Yes that's right, this is one of two recipes that is the exception to the monster meat rule because you can't make monster lasagna with a twig in the crockpot. Bacon & Eggs - not-so-commonly used recipe on my end. Restores 20 hp, 75 hunger, and 5 sanity. Requires meat value of 1.5, 2 eggs (or 1 tallbird egg), and no veggies. I don't use this recipe much because eggs are a pain to get without a bird cage, and I seldom make a bird cage. If you have one with a bird in it, go nuts. Cook monster meat, shove it down the bird's throat, get eggs. I just don't see this recipe being very efficient. The only efficient use of this recipe is using tallbird eggs, which only 1 of these satisfies the egg requirement, and the tallbird egg allows me to use 2 monster meats with a twig to make the bacon & eggs (I often have large amounts of monster meat laying around because I slaughter spiders en masse for silk, which again I cannot emphasize the importance of enough). For winter, there's only two things you'll really need The rest of the game is just knowledge and practice. Once you get good at fighting monsters, armor won't have to be used nearly as much. Maintaining your hunger and sanity will become considerably less difficult.

Misaki Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I think the best way is go ham with your Hammer and destroy as many pighouses as you can in autumn. Then plant them near you but not too near because you don't want them loaded in case they combust in summer or get striked in spring. Have a Spider Den near or replant the existing one, kill em for Monster Meat. Feed pigs monster meat and kite Werepigs 2-1 (2 hits, run, repeat), you can use a recipe: 2 meats, 1 monster meat, 1 filler for instant hunger maxing for most characters.

You get to build all the houses you destroy, that's how: 2 pig skins from the destroyed house 1 pig skin from the Werepig that lived in the destroyed hosue 1 pig skin from the Werepig created from a new house You need to have a spare pig skin but none of it is lost.

NEVER destroy pig houses You can just cut down trees and mine rocks, there are more rocks in the world than you ever need.

NEVER destroy pig houses Aren't two pig houses next to your base better than four pig houses across the map that you never visit? In the long run, all the resources are renewable sources it's really not that big of deal.

Arcita Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 I stopped reading halfway through, but figured I'd point out that food does not spoil faster in the swamp. Swamp is a pretty sweet place for a base. You get so much free loot because stuff tends to fight when you've loaded the area; massive amounts of silk, glands, tentacle spikes, spots, and food. You also have quick access to reeds which is important because it's one of the only resources that you can't move (along with cactus -- desert is another great location for this reason). You can also use the tentacles and merms as free protection from hounds and giants.
