Hunger

You are probably running Do not Starve for few times, however already died after a few days? Do not worry we have compiled the most necessary information for a successful gameplay.

First of all: Respect always to your values. The consist of hunger (the yellow stomach), by food intake can be filled quickly this value. Health (the red heart), this value falls when you are attacked and damage, hunger decreases to zero or the cold gnawing at you. And Sanity (the orange brain), this value falls due to various reasons such as darkness or when monsters are nearby.

The first day

You usually starts in the grassland, where there are already plenty of to collect. For the first day, it is important to gather first Strawberries and Carrots as food. Also, be diligent grass, twigs and Flint take. It is also advisable to pick twelve flowers and to make it a Garland. The Corolla can be found under the tab "Dress" in the crafting menu. It heals over time, your sanity. More flowers you do not actually need, they just sit in your inventory away and improve your values not especially when you eat them.

From a twig and a flint you can watch the first Axe build and before it gets dark, you should make this also a few trees and collect the wood, because the darkness is your enemy. As soon as the dawn is over and it is pitch dark, you engage in the all-encompassing black monsters that take just a few strokes. Therefore, you need before the first night definitely two and three times Logs Cut Grass to make a Campfire.

If you see that the Twilight coming to an end (always keep the round day indicator at the top right corner of the eye), look for you a nice spot for harvesting, so that you make effective use of the night, and make a campfire. Its always good to cooked, because cooked foods are easier to digest, saturate and heal better than raw.


The right storage space

After the first day you must walk around to explore the area. Important: Do not take the same with anything you find on the road so. Your inventory is limited and you don’t need things like Marble and Evil Flowers, they will take up space and hurt you even in the worst case. Bethink you to the essentials. Rocks, Gold, logs, twigs, grass and everything what you can get for food.

To prepare you for the winter, you need a solid camp and you beat preferably near allies and a steady source of food. Follow exploring the quiet roads on the map that lead often in a Pig Village.

Pigs

The Pigs are friendly, terrifying people who normally wear anything as long as it will not hurt. Better yet: If you feed them meat, they will be your friends and follow you at every turn until death. If they locate you with Pigs, you have someone who stands you in the fight against monsters to the side. Pay attention however, that there are rabbit holes or ponds nearby, so you have to feed them, not only green stuff but also people give pigs meat, if you kill them, but that is not advisable at the beginning.

Beefalos

Another good place to settle is near Beefalo herds. The cute buffalo beings live mostly in savannas (the yellow spots on the map). When they attack, you have to lure the monster only to the Beefalos and the herd feels threatened, they will do the rest also constantly produce Manure, which you can use their well both as a fertilizer, as well as for your campfire. Beware if Beefalos have a red butt, then they are in the rut and attack anything that comes near them. In the period you prefer distance should hold. Where can Beefalos, there is usually also Rabbits, which should be taken care of enough meat.

Do you have a suitable storage space found there build a Fire Pit. The fireplace with stone you can attach with various materials such as logs, Charcoal, Petals, Cut Grass and lots of other combustible stuff fire up again and again. After a science build Machine. The expanded your crafting menu several times. For all the equipment you need only a prototype near the machine build to unlock them.

The same applies to the Alchemy engine that also make pretty soon. It expands the building possibilities same again. Doth your inventory already, first made from these boards and wooden planks, then Chest that prepare you close your Fire Pits.

And off go the preparation. In order to use the time effectively collect daytime food, raw materials, and much Manure as fertilizer and for the fire pit. Pigs drop Manure, if you feed them fruit, vegetables or flowers. At night you will return to hearth back, prepares the captured food and builds near the Science Machine, what you need for the next day. So you can effectively use the first few days and nights.

The Food

Hunger, can quickly become a great risk if you ignore it. Therefore, it is extremely important to always carry enough food with you, to know where to find what and to know the effect of individual foods.

Fruit and vegetables

In the food tab of your Crafing menus find Farms. There is a difference between the Basic Farm and Improved. The Improved Farm lets your vegetables grow much faster. Put on it, planted a few seeds, which finds her scattered throughout the game world, in and reaps soon miscellaneous greens. With four Improved Farms you should accumulate a small supply of vegetables to winter.

Also, you can plant in your surrounding area Berry Bushes. Customize and build to a bucket with the help of science machine and dig berry bushes in the environment. Planting them near your camp and do not forget to fertilize with rotten food or Manure –

Meat

First of all, a distinction is made between Meat and Meat Monster. Monster Meat fills the consumption although the hunger back on but does harm to your health. Under certain circumstances, such as with a Crock Pod, you can do it but make them palatable. You can find it in the fight against Spiders, Hounds and other monsters. To gain access to nutritious meat, there are different possibilities.

Have you rabbit holes nearby, you can build traps from the Survival tab and placing it over the entrance to the rabbit hole. You can also Karrotte as bait put into it, but pat small animals, when their well-placed traps, even so in the trap. Do you have spiders or frogs in the vicinity, these can also catch it.

Fish come in Ponds; building a Fishing Rod (this requires Silk you earn by killing spiders) and go fishing. Close to Ponds are also often Frogs. Set you better not with them until you're well armed. Frogs engage in hordes to, are strong and mouth disease inventory item. However, they lose in dying also nutritious frog legs.

Birds can be captured only with Bird traps. Also, it requires spider silk. Interprets and she waits until a bird lands in it. If you want to quickly get their meat, seeds placed in the trap. Attention: If Pigs are close, they often rob you of your bait. All traps and the fishing rod to go after repeated use broken.

From Berry Bushes bounce occasionally Gobblers. To get two juicy turkey legs, just puts Berries on the ground and waits until the Gobbler weather has taken. Once he is on the home stretch, you can kill him and collect the meat.

Even Pigs and Meat Beefalos lose when they die. However, they are initially difficult to kill and so you should give at the beginning satisfied with small animals.

Drying Rack

For this, you need Charcoal, which you get by kindle with a Torch (Torch) trees, burn let and then falls. For the winter, it is extremely important that you create a Jerky-stock with the Drying Rack, as fruit and vegetable then fall away as a food source and also many animals can no longer be so often overlook. So do not plastered all you killed immediately, but always provides enough dried meat. For Jerky you can make almost any type of meat that you can find. With at least four Drying racks you should definitely create a winter stock.

Crock Pot

The Crock Pot you build with the Alchemy engine. Make sure that you properly prepare nutritious meals. It is always filled with four food items. Who knows the right combination, can purposefully produce food for specific needs. Even Monster Meat can be transformed into delicious meals, as long as you no more than a piece of it packed into the saucepan. Here are some useful recipes (values are the necessary ingredients are always the minimum amount. Remaining fields can be filled at will, such as with Berries)

Dragon Pie (regenerates 40 Health, 75 hunger, Sanity 5) consists of 1 x Dragon fruit, no meat as filler

Fish Sticks (Health regenerates 40, 37.5 hunger, Sanity 5) consists of 1 x Fish, maximum 1 x Twig

The Hunt

In the Fight Tab Crafing you will find everything you need your menus. Attract never without a weapon in the fight. The easiest is the Spear, efficient, fast built melee weapon. Customize and build a suit of armor from grass or logs. Do not get too greedy and living in harmony with nature. If you kill too many innocent beings in too short a time, nature will take revenge on a cruel manner.

Spiders

Want to quench spider nest, you have to pay attention to the size of the nests. There are one-, two-and three-stage nests. The bigger they are, the more spiders arise in your way. Take always best two to four Pigs with hunting. When you enter the covered with cobwebs ground, their lures out the first Spiders. Run a bow around them, so they attack your Pigs. Repeats until no more spiders flow out of the nest and strike it, until it disappears. If you still roam homeless Spiders, they done alone or with the help of Pigs and collect the loot.

Have you triple spider nests in the area, you should wipe it quickly. From this, namely a Spider Queen arising, walking around, everywhere gives birth Spiders and is really hard to do. Then usually helps to escape Pig-friends only in a Beefalo herd or group.
Beefalos

They are peaceful, but also a very good source of meat. Only you will be a whole herd but always beat or even kill them in flight. If you still want to come to Beefalo meat, get at least four more eight or more Pigs to your friends by feeding her them or Meat Monster Meat, it leads to a Beefalo herd and attack a buffalo. Then you should run as fast as possible, lest ye be crushed. The pig people would now go to the Beefalos. Let them fight to the end and no matter which of the two sides wins, you can meat and raw tap. When the Pigs survive you have to be quick though, the plaster namely, any of the food lying on the ground.

Pigs

You want pork and skin? Then you will not invest alone with Pigs, but sends it against a more powerful enemy as Beefalos or an endless spider colony in death. That's cruel, but sometimes unavoidable. Another method is to make a group of pigs to friends and then attack a related facility or outside, single Pig. Again, you have to distance yourself quickly, because if it goes wrong, you have a whole horde of angry pigs on the neck that makes you pretty quickly terminates.

Pengulls

In the winter you can find on the map occasionally Pengulls. The penguins spawn when their runs along the coast and settle in a short time later on in the vicinity. Actually Pengulls peaceful nature, but you attack one, you have the whole colony on the neck - and with 15 Pengulls is not to be trifled with. Do you want to get hold of the cute fellows Eggs, drumsticks and Feathers, chasing the best is always a far away from the colony. If you run after him, he would drift out of earshot of his comrades, where you can then make it safely finished off. This can repeat it regularly.

Avoid long explore in winter. To check the traps or hauling the prey take a Stone with Heat. The can be found in the Survival tab. It is made of Rocks, Flints and a PICAXE. Place it next to the fire to heat it and grab it back in your inventory. That donates a short time heat.

Dangerous Monster

In addition to the spiders which can be found in every nook and cranny, there is also much more dangerous enemies who want you on sight immediately to the collar.

Hounds

Dig with a shovel grass and saplings and plant them close together, standing near your camp. Fertilize the grass after planting and before long you will not need to walk far for two of the most important raw materials.

Chester

We have indeed come to you at the beginning to make fun stuff for the start on the left. What you should definitely clear in your inventory but a place free of the Eye is Bone.

Now and rebuilding

Do you have a great storage space, but he's not quite perfect? You have a farm set incorrectly or the next Pig-village is too far away? No problem, you build from the Tools tab a hammer. This can mine their existing structures and get their raw materials from which it is to build it again elsewhere. Pigs This allows quickly settle near you, without that you have to collect only cumbersome materials. Note that you do not get the exact number out of many structures of materials that needed it for planting.

You can create from the beginning all the objects from the Science Machine, without requiring the machine for it. In addition, they can write books of magic with different forces that facilitate the use of magic and speed.

Woodie

Never again worry about the wood stock! Woodie is equipped from the outset with an indestructible ax named Lucy, who speaks to him and trees rapidly falls (Beware of the Treeguards).
