Base building will be fun once they implement tunneling. And mob-farming can get more complex as well

Don't know what weapons you prefer but, I really like the spears. Short reach but, very fast and easy on the stamina and can also be thrown and retrieved. Swords and maces after that, maces primarily for skellies.

There are ways around that if you want an underground base though. Build under a big rock or under the platform for the second boss.

Right now I only have 3 options…

Flint Axe (I won’t bother listing the stone axe) - This is my default weapon
Club - I use this only when I am specifically going after skels.
Crude Bow - deer and trolls.

I don’t yet have access to anything else.

Odd you cannot make a flint spear.

Maybe I can…. I am typically not a fan of spear weapons in games, so I skip over them. I can check next time I play.

When you get your base settled post dome screenshots. Always down with seeing how others do stuff, my wife came up with some good ideas in her own solo game that I thought were innovative.

I am much for utilitarian than decorative, so I doubt I will make anything too nice. That said, this is a beautiful game, so making something nice is encouraged (more so than Minecraft).

Maybe I will post some pics of my current base (cabin). Real simple, but it is my very first build in the game, so I was more testing how the game deals with builds (the gravity is a bit of a bitch). They really need to allow “grabbing” of items and naming/text for chests (exploiting signs is awkward af)

And btw…

I did have access to spears.

I have since built a bronze sword and I like it a lot. Unfortunately, it just requires me to carry an extra tool in my standard travel package now, though. I used to be able to use my axe for both fighting AND Wood work. Now I have to use two different tools for those two tasks.

I hope there are ways to increase my carry weight later in the game. The 300 lbs runs out QUICK.

Yea, my wife is very much function over form. I generally try and strike a middle ground.

As far as naming, you can put signs over the chests to help organize.

Find the trader. Sail coasts (he is always close to the coast and in the Dark Forest and will show on your map as a bag) he spawns within 10 kilometers of your starting point as I recall. He sells a strength belt that gives you an extra 150 lbs.

Also he sells the fishing rod and bait.

I knew he was in the DF, but hadn’t heard the “near water” aspect. I found another DF in my exploration yesterday, so I will look in there, though, I think it is primarily an inland DF. I will check tonight.

New technique for trolls…

Use the small skelly houses. The trolls get confused and don’t know what to do, and you are safe.

Found my new main base location. Basically an entire peninsula that can be cleared and flattened. I can almost build a city, if I so desire. And I want to have a few different “districts”, so space will be nice. It even has a burial chamber where I can escape to if the need were to arise.

 

[calsnowskier]

I just wish it had one of those resting totems. But I haven’t found one of those anywhere yet, so I am just going with it.

That is sweet. Only found one good peninsula on all of my play throughs. The districts idea us nice too, did something similar on the game me and my wife are playing.

You can eventually build one of those.

Really? I thought they could only be found. Good to know.
