The Bare Bone Basics


once you spawn and maxwell greets you with those words you will hear more than once.

it's time to get started
gather twigs grass flint: those are basic recource's wich you will need to make a science machine to continue making new things.

To make a science machine we are going to need
1 gold
4 logs
4 stone
to get those things we need a pickaxe

you can make a pickaxe under the tools tab
after that make a axe under the same tab



once you have 1 gold, 4 logs, 4 stone make a science machine under the science tab
now we can really get started
Science ACTIVATE!


now we have a science machine it's time to make a alchemy engine.
Wich is under the science tab and require's
4 boards
2 electric doodad
2 cut stone

this means refining with the refining tab



once you gatherd the things needed to refine
you still need a electric doodad
wich is under the science tab


now you can make a alchemy engine

Science tab
Now that we have a alchemy engine the whole science tab is open for us

First make a backpack so you can carry more




now that you can carry more what does the science tab hold?
well SCIENCE STUFF

it holds the 2 most inportant structure's when it come's to surviving spring and summer
The lightning rod and ice flingomatic



it also holds the thermal meusurer and rainometer


it also holds the divinging rod wich will come in hand later

Food Production
Food is alway's in short suply so how do you make it?
you farm it
but for that we need BEEFALO!


we need it's manure to be exact so just look for beefalo and pick the poop up
under the farm tab there is a inproved farmplot make that over the simple farm

it looks like this

birds drop seeds so plant one in there and check on it a few day's later to see what you got
Crafting
il keep this short and simple
look in each tab for a specific structure or tool we will get to season where i will talk more about seasonal tools
Health, hunger Sanity?
health and hunger are simple stats
health goes down when taking damage and can be replenished with healing items and food
and hunger goes up with food

Sanity is a special stat

this is what happens when you go insane
nightmare creature's apear and will tear you a new one
so how do you combat it?

sanity restoring items and food
for now we will pick flowers and make a garland


sanity will kill you if not carefull so always check on it
Raw, cooked, crockpot best
Crockpot it's you're best cooking friend

but how do you use it? and what can it make
i will go over the best recipy here

Meatball
1 meat 3 ice and you got meatballs


it's simple and easy to make and you will eat a lot of these
End of Basics
now come's the big game
Light up
Light is you're best friend and darkness You're worst enemy
Meet Charlie
i don't have any proof of her existence because she is the night


the light tab has many items to keep her away
Fire pit: for heat and light
endothermic fire pit: for cold and light
miners hat: for light on the head
moggle's: for light on the head like a mole


keep the night light on at all time's during the night
Overheating? WAIT NOW I'M FREEZING
as winter is the first season to arive after autumm you got to be winter ready
else you freeze
Temperature is a hidden stat that you normaly can't see without the use of mods like combined status

to combat freezing make a winter hat, beefalo hat, thermal stone, or cat cap.
these will combat freezing


once you are actually freezing the screen will show off a freezing border

this means you got to hurry you're self to a fire pit to heat up

overheating is the exact opisite of freezing and will show a hot warm border


to combat this either use a ice cube or luxery fan
the ice cube is under the clothes tab and the luxery fan the survival tab
Parry this you casual
i'm a bit cheating here as il just show of a video on how to kite made by me
ENJOY!
it may be for DST but works in Single player to

Kiting is all about baiting a attack out and then going in for a few strikes
all i can say pracitce that
Gaintary
seasonal giants good thing i do have video proof of these myths existence

these will show up once per season and sometime's more than one
Relax, Freeze, Frogs, Hell.
or in other words
Autumm, Winter, Spring, Summer
