Guides/How to not starve

This is a guide to don't starve, for players who want to survive! So let's get started!

How to create a reliable source of food:

1. Traps: Build a couple of traps from twigs and grass. Place them on top of rabbit holes. Be sure that these traps are not to far away frome your base. Check these traps every two days, mostly then there will be a bunny in there.

2. Berries: You can dig up berriebushes with a shovel. Place these bushes near your base (be sure to place a lightning rod next to them, because if lightning hits the bushes they will all burn away). Fertilize the bushes with manure or rot.

3. (Improved)farms: The good old farm, (please note that you should skip the normal farms and build the improved farms instead) these are very easy, just build them, place seeds in them and wait... Once the crops have grown you can harvest them and place new seeds. So stops cooking up your seeds and eating them, but store them in a fridge.

4. Drying rack: Create a drying rack with chaorcoal (from burned trees), rope and wood. Hang your morsels, meat and monstermeat on them to dry them. This may take some time, but it is very rewarding. The dried version of meat will restore more hunger, health and also some sanity.

5. Birdcages: A bird in a cage: your best friend, if you want an egg for breakfast. Build a birdcage with some gold, papyrus and seeds. You have to pit an bird in there also, these are catchable with birdtraps. Give your bird a meat, and he will drop an egg. Eggs are used in a couple of recepies and can be give to the mighty pig king for gold. (The only meat birds won't accept is raw monstermeat, but you can dry monstermeat at the drying rack, the bird will accept this meat.

6. Crock Pot: Build this machine with charcoal and some stone. Combine four ingredients and watch the magic happen, check the Crock Pot page for all recipes. But I recommend to combine a monstermeat (or any other meat) and 3 berries or carrots to create meatballs, which restore a ton of hunger.

7. Monstermeat farming: As I told you can use a monstermeat to make a egg or something in the crock pot. But how to get an good farm? This is were the advanced stuff happens. You can trap spiders in traps! Go to an near (tier 3) spider den. Walk into spider spawn radius, place your trap and run. A spider should get trapped and you can check the trap, it can contain: monstermeat, spider silk or a spider gland. After you got all the spiders you can destroy the spider den and get even more silk!
