I haven't made it to a cave yet...
The hounds I do kill don't drop teeth...:(
I wish we had a vent channel for this. Game gets a little lonely.
lols
over 70% of my deaths this game are from fkn tall birds
What do I need to take on tentacles without getting my ass kicked?
They're a pain in the ass and I can't think of any good reason not to avoid them.Quote:

D) If you do it right, you can have chester stop moving right on top of one. Once it picks Chester as a target, you can melee it w/o taking any damage. I know that you can't do this w/ chester 2 times in a row. I'm not sure how long to wait between letting him tank like that.
Always actively escape any situation that will potentially cause more damage than you are capable of healing. Do this as soon as you realize the situation has turned against you. Whatever you're leaving behind you're capable of replacing, or retrieving in after a bit more prep.
tall birds must be conquered.
I keep dying in the most fucking stupid ways.
Day 46: chased down by hounds without much attack so I flee and jump into a wormhole...chomped to death mid jump into wormhole
Day 31: Decide to farm spiders near dusk...on return back to camp start freezing. Go to build camp fire but I'm so cold that I have this black circle on my screen and can't build campfires. WTF? Never seen this before. Turns to night...night monsters eat me because the campfire thing I couldn't plant used up my grass. fuck you game.
SERIOUSLY THIS GAME IS LIKE MY EX GIRLFRIEND. I HATE IT BUT I CAN'T STOP PLAYING IT
I don't want to start again...only sadness will entail...but I will anyway
Don't fuck with tentacles. Just find a swamp area where there are tentacles near the mutated fish looking dudes, check that place periodically for free tentacle spikes. The fish and tentacles will constantly be skirmishing so this is a renewable source of one of the best weapons in the game.
Thulecite club has perks that make it much better and it's more durable, but the tentacle spike is easily the best weapon in the early and mid-game.
Thulecite gear is excellent, but you have to go to the ruins to get it. Good luck with that quest. You have to explore the caves enough to find an entrance to the ruins, basically a cave withing a cave.
Ex-girlfriend is right on. I started this thread after rage quitting daily for weeks. Gotta love a game that is challenging enough to do that over and over.
tree guardian just fucked up my 3 friendly pigs. RIP friendly pigs
Stupid pigs.
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT A CAVE IS LET ALONE THE RUINS. FUCK ALL OF YOU
Tree guardians are hippy dickheads from portland. They get all pissed when you chop some trees but plant a few pine cones and they go back to their drugs.
You think you've seen all the things there are to see, done all the stuff there is to do?Quote:

YESSSSSS!!!!
Tree guardians are good practice in basic kiting. They attack really slowly so you should be able to kill one without taking a single hit. Preferably try this on a small one so you don't degrade your weapon too much, they have dramatically different hit points based on size but all drop the same loot.
Sounds like my fucking lifeQuote:

Not starving in IRC.
Consider yourself invited.
work =(
u guys suck.
Winter + Impending night + Spiders accounted for a lot of my silliest deaths. Sosososo much can go wrong so quickly. Things going perfectly fine, and then suddenly I get into a weapon/torch/bookbag/armor/jacket/hat/helmet clusterfuck.Quote:

If you look at the link, it's not a spoiler, but if you use the link, it is.
fucking got gangraped by 20 frogs
Yeah. That can be tilting.Quote:

Frogs are aggressive and mob on you if you attack one of them. They're very easy to trap though. If one starts chasing you, drop a trap, and you're pretty much guaranteed to get him.Quote:

Dawgs, getting punked by the kermit brigade is some shameful shit. They telegraph their aggro from a mile away, just run like 10 steps and you lose them.
BTW, frogs/ponds are a very easy way to accumulate massive amounts of food before the winter. You can catch like 9 or 10 fish per day and trap loads of frogs in the meanwhile.
Bikes was dressed scandalously and practically asked for frog rape...Quote:

I'm guessing those motherfuckers will be useless when this alleged winter comes through?
Yeah. I'd stick with rabbits, frogs, etcQuote:

Run into a group of beefalo (when they don't have the red spot on their butts which I think signals mating season and makes them aggressive). they all freeze and make a "dat ass" face. I laugh everytime. Would be funnier if my character was a female.
So in my new game, I've started this trapping shit. Seems like it has more upfront results and more maintenance than berry bushes.
Eating cooked meat also helps with sanity. Berry diet make homer go crazy.
So the last two times I've died is because the hounds come at night in the winter and I have to choose my death between being eaten or freezing to death. Sigh.
i always setup camps next to pig colonies and just run in circles until dawn
Yeah, spoon suggested I could run around my camp fire and survive. I'll try that next time.Quote:

Yeah. It's part of the learning process. Now you know why it's important to build a lightning rod.Quote:

It also helps if you leave a trail of fireflies from the outskirts of your main base to the panic area fire pit. That way, you have a set of waypoint beacons that lead you to the panic area fire pit, and illuminate it enough to click it with a log (so long as you are a bit away so the firefly light doesn't go out.)
Sometimes it comes to that.Quote:

Chase the hand into the darkness untill you hear a noise. It's a bit like a "powering down" noise. This "kills" that hand.Quote:

Rinse and repeat.
No it said portal and looked like a door, took me to a different world starting basically over in terms of my inventory that was apparently harder. The guy said that there were five such worlds, and at the end you find some fucking body I can't remember their nameQuote:

When you go in to the Door, your inventory becomes empty, except that you get to keep any unique item (e.g. Willow's Lighter) and you get a Divining Rod.
I have yet to beat a single Chapter, much less 5 of them.
I really wish you could start from a checkpoint. My last base was perfect. Besides the whole I died thing.
I'm pretty sure I heard about a mod/hack for that if you really want it.Quote:

fuck off krampus ill kill as many rabbits as i damn well please
There's a mod that pauses the action whenever you are in a crafting menu. I'm not sure where that falls on the cheating scale for you folks but there it is. I personally am incredibly tilted by how much time I waste cycling through menus.
Me after every tier 3 spider colony I cull and then replant egg...

memo to self. cooked monster meat np. monster jerky = 3 fucking werepigs chasing you all fucking full moon
I've been following this thread since inception and I know goddamn well I am going to get sucked into this shit. I don't do well with tilt inducing games ;)
Do it, jums. Do it now.
Too much monster meat is bad for pigs. I don't think it matters whether it's cooked or jerky.Quote:

I'm going to be in IRC/chat room for most of this evening playing etc so get in there with bigred and the rest of us (see the link in my signature)
I'm saying that whether or not you feed them, they turn to were pigs during full moon.Quote:
