Early Game Guidance

About Animal Care and Farming

• To get eggs, you need at least one female chicken.
• Buy a rooster alongside your chicken and find a cute surprise soon after!
• Butchering an animal will give you a lot of food in return.
• Animal shelters are no requirement for breeding or eggs.
• Animals will not starve to death if you have no animal feeder, as long as there is grass growing around your farm.
• Animal Feeder is created via the Windmill (available at farm trader).

About Making Money

• I recommend potatoes for relaxed and low-maintenance money making when you start the game. The plant stays after you harvest it.
• Using copper -> to sell copper bars is good cash!
• Stealing a bunch of stuff in starting town to sell it is also effective (its around 1,2k gold).
• Invest into a female chicken early on for passive income/food.
• If you unlocked the Wellness Potion (an early main town quest), save your herbs to craft and sell it.

Things I Wish I Had Known Earlier

• If you are struggling to find any wood type or ore, open your Journal -> Books and read ‘A Guide to Resources’.
• Use your iron/steel bars on your pickaxe and hatchet early game!
• There is an iron toolkit in a heavily guarded mine in the plains, good luck!
• When you are on your farm, press B (building menu) and then P (path) to spray the ground with dirt/stone paths! It makes your farm so much prettier!
• If you find a little pointy rock with a rune engraved in it, hit it!
• You can fast travel between your discovered campsites once you interacted with the signboard on each of them.
• The Traveling Merchant is marked with a blue cloud on your map if he is available.
• Tree stumps don’t give you extra wood and should only be chopped if you do not like the location of the grown tree. A completely removed tree respawns much slower!
