I regularly play lights out and there are several changes I would make to this guide.

Firstly you can burn a single log to produce light for long enough to break down 2 stones, which 90% of the time will be more efficient than building an entire campfire.

Next you want to get a lantern ASAP. In regular it's not as much of an issue, as you can still perform actions in the darkness, but that is not the case in DST. You effectively NEED a lantern or you wont be able to do anything without constantly wasting resources by either burning something or crafting a fire pit.

Later-game you canset up pig houses in a circle around an ice flingomatic to easily obtain pigs even though it is constantly night, if you wear a mining helmet they can easily be used for their normal tasks with effectively no downsides, or just murder them one at a time during a full moon for pig skins and the easy meat.

For spiders I would actually just reccomend getting some bunnymen and putting them a short distance from the base 4 hutches to 1 den is most efficient, but 5 is less likely to have them all die when it goes for tier 2 to 3 and the spiders respawn all at once. This way you constantly have an influx of spider silk and glands. But you dont want the bunnymen too near your base or they could spot you munching down on some jerky.

You can also set up honey farms through a long process that has debatable use (You burn a hive to spawn the bees, then capture 4, put the hive out by any means (Or just let it burn, there ARE other hives)  proceed to destroy the hive for the honeycomb and use the bees to make the honey box. If you set the box far enough from your base it will produce honey at a rate of 1 per day regardless of season. After that you can just harvest the bee box already crafted to get more regular bees at they come out as workers when harvested.
