Overview
This is a guide showing you how to build a shelter, find food, and more. It is being rebuilt from the ground up for the 3rd time. This time I (HTB) am going to be making mostly alone. Hope this guide can help you witha ny problems and comment any questions that you have for me.
Welcome!
Hello! Rebuilding this guide for the 3rd time so I hope it can be helpful.
Landing
The plane you and your son were on has crashed on an island. You have some energy bars, soda, an axe, and your wits. What you’re going to want to do is collect some leaves from chopping down bushes and smaller trees. as well as sticks by picking them up or chopping down smaller trees. You then want to build a temporary fire, shich you also need sticks and leaves for. Build a fire for warmth or skip that and make a temporary shelter. You awake in the morning. You need to start chopping down some trees to make a hunting shelter in a more secluded area. I reccomend trying to find the river like split in the middle of the island and going all the way east. You should have a large hill, rock wall, and small hill around you and the beach in front of you. This is the place I build most of my bases just because it works well as a place to run and hide from anything even if you get pushed into the ocean. (Second edit made to the 3rd version of the guide!)
Temp/Pre Shelter
Once you have your location picked out you will have to make a shelter. There are a few to choose from. If you need to sleep for just a night I recommend you build a
LET THERE BE LIGHT… and heat.
A fire is a very important part of the game. It can provide heating for the night if you do not have a place to sleep or you are playing multiplayer. It is also the first and fastest way to cook food in the game, making it reliable when you cant wait for food.
Fishing
There are many ponds around the forest in which you can find fish. These ponds, to my knowledge, always have a weak spear, which is the only way to catch a fish. Fish are food, eat them.
Food & Water
FOOD
Food is one of the most important parts of the game, because you need it for stamina and for hunger. There are 2 ways to cook your food, The fire, and the Drying Rack. Drying Racks are better for cooking because, even though they take longer they can hold more and the food stays on it longer that it does on the fire. There are also candy bars. Candy bars are very usefull for when your about to start taking hunger damadge or you need more energy and have no soda.
WATER
Water is a crutial, and annoying, part of the game, water is needed for survival, if you have no water, you have very little time to find it. Water form ponds can hurt you, but it is a last resort. To get clean water you need one of two things, a pot, or a turtle shell, you can put a pot on fire and put water in it to boil and clean it, or you can use a turtle shell to catch and store rain water to drink.
Some tricks.
Hey, HardestTooBeat here, and today im putting in this guide what it originaly was, a guide on how to get an edge on those damn cannibals, so without further introduction.
NO FALL DAMADGE (May no longer work! Not sure) Pull your inventory before you hit the ground and you wont take any damage.
No more cannibals!
Most people know this one already, but if you type ‘veganmode’ on the title it turns cannibals off. If you want the cannibals back type ‘meatmode’ There is also a mode for cannibals at night only, ‘vegetarianmode’ and a perma death mode, ‘rawmeatmode” and finally “ironforest” Which makes your buidling indestructable.
!!UPDATE!!
If you wish to make your buildings indestructable while also using veganmode, (idk why maybe bomb protection or something) Type ironforest first, then type veganmode.
