I'm currently on day 23. Surviving hound waves only cause of the pigs nearby.

Highest I've gone is day 6. Anyways, waiting for the MP to get out of beta. It'll be epic fun to play with friends for sure :D
[MENTION=158584]DVJex[/MENTION] Give some tips. Also, how did we reuse a Campfire? I always end up making new ones.

There are actually two types of campfires. The fire pit which uses stone is reusable.
And the best place to camp is close to a pig village and beefalo herd. Not too close though, since the pigs can turn into werepigs on a full moon and the beefalo are aggressive during certain seasons.

Yeah I was talking about the reusable one, how to light it again?

My camping spots were setup mostly between trees(forest). Saw a monster hand(tentacle?) for the first time. Maintaining both food, brain and health seems rather tedious in this game. MP should make it better though :p

Add fuel to light it again.
If there are tentacles in the area you're better off moving. The surface biome they're in is like a warzone. Get a farm set up for food. Sanity is the bigger problem.

I managed to keep sanity around 90% but got killed by a pig on the 7th day :| I haven't found any fuel yet. Also, is it worth mining? I made the science machine but don't know how to use it :(

Werepigs?
And by fuel i mean generally. Any wood,flowers, or other things you can throw in the fire. Yea, you get rocks and flint from mines. Gold too (depends on the mine).
Go near the science machine and you can prototype stuff. Prototype it once and you can make it again without needing the science machine.

Was waiting ,reading some recipe and got killed by tentacle. Frustrating game.

The surface biome where the tentacles are is the most dangerous. And most monsters are really strong in the game, you have to either kite them or evade their attacks. After building some decent weapons and armor preferably.

Pigs turn into Warepigs on full moon day. Keep away from them at all cost.
Like DVJex said, go near the science machine, you can prototype new things.
The cost of making things is high only for protype, from the next time you make it, the cost is usually less.

Woah... Normal pigs?? why?? did you attack them??
PS: you can befriend a normal pig if you offer him a piece of meat.

I tried to be smart to kill a normal pig with a tentacle when they were fighting another tentacle :p

2-3 pigs chased me and I finally got killed in the jungle :|

You should have given it a while. They would have killed each other.

It will take a while before I learn this game. I always end up(more or less) chopping trees the whole day and eating berries :|

Let me have some advice for you..
Choose a best place to Camp, build a fire pit there. Go out on day time, collect logs,bush,carrot everything, head back to camp at night, cook those food and eat. Now next day go in another direction and continue your adventure.

Get the minimap HUD mod from steam workshop. It's quite useful for exploring.

Yeah it's good. We played multi-player for a few days but eventually moved back to our old "staple" games. Dota, rocket league, etc.

But DST is quite fun with friends.

[MENTION=148045]anirbandd[/MENTION] it's pretty fun with friends though. Me, [MENTION=171297]snap[/MENTION] and a few other days had epic fun one evening. Just need to play it more regular.

see that's the thing.. i had bought Evolve because a few of us thought it was good for MP. we had a couple of sessions which I could not attend.

and now it lies forgotten. we mostly play BF4 and Insurgency.

i hate to buy something and then not utilising it. waste of money..

Game is difficult if you only wanna play casually.

Well you were causing issues that day too [MENTION=171297]snap[/MENTION] i.e not sharing resources etc. I became a ghost too :(

I have survived till day 58 on Shipwrecked without cheats
after that its nightmare

focking volcanoes and those dragoon eggs falling from the sky

Oh my God 58? How long did it take? The longest we got together when we played was probably a week.
I was the first to turn into a ghost.

DS with Shipwrecked for solo adventure
DST for multiplayer

I thought they improved those textures in this shipwrecked version!!

How is this even possible? I think the textures for the assets related to DLC probably are improved rather than anything else.

Is there any info about this on official dev forums or anywhere?

what if they used new/improved textures for the DLC ??

Edit: Yes.. The images folder in main game is ~50MB while the images folder in DLC0002 (shipwrecked) is ~90MB. So they didn't reuse any textures from main game.
