MOST IMPORTANT RULES FOR DUMMIES

These are important to know before or after reading this guide! I won't help you guys answer questions on comments section if the question interferes with these rules!

Dummies = Newbies.
This guide is just giving recommendations on food selection and not prohibiting players for keeping those ingredients and not eating it.
Any suggestion given on this guide is for new players who still need much knowledge for playing DST. Some other suggestion that I know were too hard to get or confusing for newbies.
Example: Farming, Drying Rack, Bird Cage, Killing Tentacle, Killing Merms, etc.
This guide is for all omnivore characters. Not a carnivore character. Ex. Wigfrid.
My grammar is quite bad... Yeah, I'm not a native English speaker so please understand this.

Finding Food for Dummies

Easy Food:

Food

Location

Note

Seeds

Everywhere

Seeds are everywhere on the world dropped by a bird on every place, mainly on Deciduous Forest biome.

Berries

Grassland or any Forests Biome

From Berry Bush and Juicy Berry Bush.

Carrot

Grassland Biome

Lying around on the ground.

Twigs

Grassland, Rocky, or any Forest Biome

From Sapling and Twiggy Tree. Main item for survival, including food.

Birchnut

Deciduous Forest Biome

Chopping Birchnut Tree to get a birchnut with Axe. Large Birchnut Tree will give 2 instead of 1.

Everywhere, mainly on Grassland, or any Forest Biome

Red Cap can be picked on Day, Green Cap on Dusk, and Blue Cap on Night. You can dig the spawn point but it will not spawn anymore.

Butterfly Wings

Any Forest and Grassland Biome

You can one-punch it with any weapon but you might struggles if you fail (chasing it). Butterfly spawns on a flower at day and despawn at dusk.

Quite Hard Food:

Food

Location

Note

Morsel

Rabbit: Savannah
Mole: Deciduous Forest
Both: Grassland

Catch and kill a Rabbit with a Trap (1 Trap = 6 Cut Grasses + 2 Twigs) by put it on top of a rabbit hole.
Kill a Mole by noticing it travel underground and put a mineral (Rock, Nitre, Gold Nugget, Flint, Charcoal) near it. When it approach the mineral and tried to steal it, kill it with a weapon.

Meat

Anywhere except Marsh

Any herds. Pig Spawn from Pig House, Beefalo on Savannah Biome, and many more.

Monster Meat

Spider: Marsh or Forest
Hound: Anywhere and anytime

Will not 100% drop Monster Meat, but you can always hunt them over because of high spawning rate of monsters.

Fish

Grassland or any Forest Biome. Pond.

You need to make a Fishing Rod (2 Silks + 2 Twigs + Science Machine) to fish at a pond for up to 9 Fishes.
Fishing will take your precious time and you need to succeed reel in and hook a Fish.
Best time for fishing is on Dusk or Night (don't forget a campfire!) where the frog is in the water.

Frog Legs

Grassland or any Forest Biome. Pond.

You can found this little frog near a Pond. Equip your weapon then kill it for a Frog Legs.
Best way to get many frog legs is to surround the pond with Traps. You can fish at day after putting these traps to kill a bird with two stones.

Cactus Flesh

Desert Biome

Wear an armor either Grass Suit or Log Suit to minimize the damage taken while picking a cactus flesh (from 6 damage to 1 damage).
PS:Stay away if you found a lava on the ground! Dragonfly is there waiting to kill you.
PS: If you hear repeated barking sound, either you will be greeted by Hound sooner or you found some hounds idle on their places if you keep walking.

Honey

Grassland Biome

Have a chance to drop from Bee / Killer Bee. Always drops from Bee Hive.
Wear an armor either Grass Suit or Log Suit to reduce damages taken while fighting them.
PS: If you destroy the beehive, it will not respawn again. Keep in mind about this.
PS: If you attack the beehive, many Killer Bees will attack you from the hive. Recommended to kill normal bees at day.

Separate Food for Dummies

All foods I mention before has different uses to survive from starvation. These foods will be separated as Snacks and Ingredients.

Snacks:

or Main food for all players, except Wigfrid user. will give more Hunger and extra +1 Health.
+15 Sanity -1 Health. Quick Sanity restorative.
+20 Health + 12.5 Hunger -15 Sanity. BEST Quick medicine and hunger fill at the cost of Sanity.
+10 Sanity -3 Health. This is optional because is better.
+1 Health +12.5 Hunger + 15 Sanity. BEST sanity snack ever!
+8 Health +9.375 Hunger. Treat this as your 'First-Aid Food'.

Ingredients:

Some of these Ingredients are "Snack-able" if you are very hungry are in need to eat because these are easy to get:

Don't forget to cook them up on a campfire! (Butterfly Wings can't cooked on a fire)

Making Food for Dummies

After separating these foods, don't forget to make:

3 Cut Stone (9 Rocks + Science Machine)
6 Charcoal (Burn trees with Torch and chop them)
6 Twigs
Science Machine

Table of What to Eat

'Healthy' Foods

'Fill Hunger' Foods

Sanity Foods

Overall Good Foods

Tips for Dummies

Cook any food that can be cooked on a campfire if the ingredient got spoiled. It will prolong the spoil time. However, the spoil time of Raw Berries, Carrot, Seeds, and Birchnut are much longer than cooked. Cook them only if you want to eat it soon.
You can combine the same type of fresh food to an old stack you already made to increase some spoil times that already spoiled.
Example: You store 3 Meat on a chest, then you go out from the chest for a day. On the next day, you come back to your base with 2 Meat. The spoil time of three Meat you stored already reduced. You can combine your new meats to that stack to increase the spoil time.
Build an Ice Box to increase spoil time by 50%. This is good for saving all your foods. The problem is to find a Gear that can be dropped from Clockwork Chess Monster and you will need some well-prepared armor and weapon to kill it OR pick up from Tumbleweed with low chance drops OR dig up graves with shovel.
Use only ONE if I mention 'any Meat' or 'any'.
Why? Because using too many Monster Meats in Crock Pot will give a (+37.5 Hunger -20 Health -20 Sanity).
Another easy food to make like Ratatouille or Fist Full of Jam is not worth enough. The only profit making these is +5 Sanity.
If you are lucky enough to get from a Butterfly, save these to make the BEST HEALTHY FOOD that not mentioned on this guide OR eat it raw for health.

Small footnote for any beginners in the audience. If you're playing as webber (which I don't recommend without some playtime as other character,) Monster foods do not hurt your health or sanity.
