Overview
i show you how to survive your first night!
Daytime Chore List
when you first spawn you will have nothing and will probably be confused on how to survive.
first off you are going to need food so look for berry bushes carrots or meat sources (rabbits and such) and collect as much as possible
Food Sources:
Rabbits: make a trap and bait it with berries or carrots and when the rabbit runs in check the trap
(the rabbit can either be murdered or used in Rabbit Earmuffs)
Pigmen: this is a DANGEROUS source of food but if you want to make an axe or spear (one of the tools under the Tools tab) and just attack them until they die (be careful they WILL gang up on you if you are near a village) drops: meat
Tallbird Eggs: run up and grab it! (careful of the tallbirds they will attack because you are taking their babies!)
Beefalo: will attack back just like pigmen but will swarm you in a circle so this is not a good beginner source of food. my advice? stick with rabbits,berries, and carrots. drops: beefalo wool,beefalo horns, and meat
Dusk Time Chores
dusk lasts for a while so if you have flint make and axe NOW start chopping down trees, picking up grass,or burning a tree for Charcoal.(use the torch but be wary fire can spread to areas you dont want,like your base!)
Fuel:
Manure: manure burns really well and lasts awhile so if you can find some grab it a very good source!
Cut Grass: this in my experience doesnt last awhile but it will work as an emergency as being in darkness will kill you. a bad source.
Logs: probably your first fuel source if you can find flint, burns for a moderate time but then you have to add more. an ok source
Other Items: anything flammable in real life iis flammable in Don’t Starve (pretty much everything)
You can cook some food on the campfire to make their stats go up and thus keep your character fed well, but try to make a crock pot! it is really easy to make one, if you need charcoal just light some trees on fire.
Nighttime Chore List
keep your character sane,fed,and healthy! (picking flowers restores sanity and petals restore a VERY small bit of health)
stay around your light source! (should be a camp fire or firepit if you already made a base.)
fend off monsters! (grass suits and spears!)
