WELCOME

To a camping trip. With a side mission, of beating back green clouds, if you get bored of just camping. Think of this as Alone - Steam addition. So you start out in a big map. Hit M yes that is your map. Now you want to find a bomb place to set up your camp. Not an icky camp with long walks that sap your will to game, but a tight camp with a short distance between you and the resources you will need to be pro.

Eyeball your map and see where biomes meet, like you did in Minecraft. Yes I know about you. Anyhow look to see where a lake (or a river) meets with forest with some rocks and cliffs not too far from there. Yes that spot. Mark it with right click. Prospectivecamp. Whatever and then head there.

Now along your way you want to pick some berries if you run into them to keep you fed and somewhat watered. Also you need to get any sandstones you find so you can sharpen that axe. Also large flint to make a Flint Chisel Blade. Find those along the way. Mark your map with any large berry concentration or copper or tin or much stones. mark it all up it will come in handy later.

Now once you get to your prospective camp you want to set up maybe 2 seconds from the waters edge. You need much water. It needs to be super flat and not very rocky. It needs to have much trees. Trees fuel your camp. It can be doused in trees as long as its level. You'll see why soon.

Now follow your tutorial/guide journal and its steps. You can branch off once you get water needs fulfilled. If you get hungry hit up those blueberries. They are best. You want to build stockpiles for all the things you can on flat ground. FLAT is best. If you are not using stockpiles you are wrong. Use them. Hell overuse them.

I like to set up on lakes. Lakes have much water and you can keep the camera skewed from the lake most of the time. Did you know the middle mouse button swings that camera around? Use that. If you don't have a mouse with a middle button. Get one. Stop living in the 90s.

The journal will lead you on from there. OH pro tip! Use the log sections to form a wall opposite the lake to keep out wolves and bears and bad thoughts. It is great storage and currently an impenetrable wall. Keep the fire burning primarily with stump wood (called scrap wood) as it has no other purpose but to burn.

Slay those trees. Have no mercy. Start with the ones blocking your camera and work outward like a civilization blight. You may need copper and tin to advance - head towards rock outcroppings and gather all you can. Always pick up berries they seem to be the best way to stay filled and not blightridden.

I have been using the log sections as a wall. Collect pine cones and use put them in a stockpile. Everything that can go in a stockpile keep in a stockpile. Even on easy settings the blight cannot be ignored and will slowly encroach onto your paths of travel and your resources. Do not be shy about collection all the clay you can find. You will need it for jars of chamomile tea. Mushroom tea. Stockpile the teas because you will need them when 3 coyotes attack. Or when you get blighted from eating cooked meat.

Pine nuts, from the aforementioned pine cones, are also good eating but you need a fair amount. Same with berries. I would refrain from eating much meat unless you have mushroom tea on standby as your blight will creep up and that makes you get hungrier and thirstier faster. If it gets too high your health start going down and that is no good.

Come to think of it when you are erection your log section wall you want to leave gaps wide enough to throw an improvised spear through so if you aggro mobs through it you can peg them between it. You can also repair those spears as you chuck them around.

You want to also get the large backpack which is 6 leather pieces as fast as you can get to it. It is a monster sized backpack you will enjoy filling and bringing back your loot. I am just now up to the point where I need to refine my slime oil. Slime itself is found in blighted areas. I found mine in a swampy blight but it might be in all of them. It is not readily apparent - so do some mouse over recon before you get into the heavy blight and collect the slime. It will contaminate your entire bag so you might want to bring a small bag with you to separate it out from your main bag. That will run you two leather and some rope.

The gameplay loop seems to be go get stuff and build more camp and more stuff and then go get more stuff and then go talk to the NPCs for recipes to get stuff and build more. The slime oil and oleander is used together to make material to burn back the blight with toxic smoke. Which can clear avenues and keep the laggy smoke back.




That is as far as I have got. You do better and like if you want more of my - font.
