Someone is missing something here. I never fight a tentacle and I always have all the tentacle spikes I want. Just play the game, " Let's you and him fight." I kite hounds into a cluster of tentacles, or a tree guardian, or even Bearger. One Bearger in a good swamp can give me all the Bearger loot plus up to six tentacle spikes. Another good route is to get spider eggs and plant those in close to tentacles.

To conserve the tentacle spikes, I use an axe wherever I don't require the extra killing power of a spike. I have used a single spike for an in-game year, when I used lesser weapons for lesser foes.

Early game certainly is a thing, but it's not a big part of the game. Do six game years on the first level and use the teleportato, and you will have a more balanced perspective on the relative merit of early game strategy.

I have only ever encountered one fucking stupid person on this wiki, btw. Guess who.
