Knowing where important areas and structures are is incredibly important.

But after you do that, you should definitely keep on exploring. If you're exploring, and you find a great place for a base, it's perfectly alright to set up some of the basic structures. To clarify, it's ok to set up a base early.

They'd usually just die from a lack of food, resources, or both! I often find that people that are fairly new to the game, and even some more experienced players, tend to just set up a base area fairly early after not exploring much (say around day 5 or so, give or take a few days) and just sit around their base, not going anywhere. Most of this is just general advice that can also be applied to other characters, but I hope that it helps!

Sleeping though the night efficiently restores sanity and health at the expense of a little hunger. Raw blue caps (night) restore 20 health, but note that they lower your sanity by -15.Īnd if you're looking for a general pick-me-up, I highly recommend making a tent. Honey poultice and dishes made with honey are a great way to heal. If your health is low, you can use spider glands to heal a little, but I recommend saving them up to make healing salves (you can get the ash required to make them by burning the foliage around ponds). If you're feeling desperate, you can pick flowers for a little bit of sanity and use them to make a garland that, when worn, gradually restores sanity. Standing close to Glommer also does the trick, though it takes time. You can easily restore sanity through cooked green caps (found during dusk), cooked cactus flesh (found in the deserts) and Taffy (crockpot dish, requires honey to make). If you're struggling with insanity, don't forget to utilize Bernie. Use your lighter to your advantage! You don't have to make torches or campfires, since your lighter has a small light radius and the ability to cook food (cooked food restores more hunger, health and sanity than raw food).
