How to Survive The First Month in Don’t Starve
Location, Location, Location
So you’ve gathered everything you can carry. You’ve bounced around the wilds making temporary fires. You’ve been followed for three days by a fluffy rabbit you just can’t bring yourself to slaughter.
Perhaps now’s the time to end this nomadic lifestyle and settle down. Then make sure you pick the right spot.
No-one really wants to live in a swampy mess of frogs and tentacles, just imagine how terrible the resale values would be. Not to mention the idea of living 10 miles from the nearest store when you’ve got no easy mode of transportation.
It just makes you shudder. Picking the right place to call home in Don’t Starve can be tricky. After all it depends on the methods you use when collecting food.
If you enjoy fishing then setting up quite close to a swamp will deliver a rather consistent source of food. For the farmers out there, laying the foundations close to a herd of Beefalo will provide a reliable source of manure and furs for winter clothing.
The most important thing to consider in choosing a place to hang your hat is to ensure it fits your needs. That and don’t be afraid to re-position a new base if you find several strong locations.
