Haven't seen anyone farm boars yet. You can approach boars and give them berries or mushrooms, you must first bring them to a fenced area and then feed them, it may take a few days to complete. when you have 2 or more and they are tamed and fed they will reproduce. I've got a little farm going and got about 25 boars now.

Another useful tip: Use the campfire as a weapon (seriously). This way you can easely defeat the first boss and the skeletons in the crypts. Just place them out and lure them into the fire, and it'll do massive dmg to the enemy.

[Dirtnapp]

lol this whole time i've been dropping the broken axe/hammers

[ЯБезымянный-оф]

You might want to build a chimney over your campfire. Surprising as it is, this game does have smoke physics, so it will go up instead of filling your house.

[whozyourdaddy]

My tip: early game, start killing every boar you see. You need a bunch of leather scraps from them to upgrade your work bench with the chopping block and tanning rack.

[wildanS]

My first death: Crushed by a falling tree I fell with my own axe.

[noob]

I really hope the devs keep improving the game and dont just abuse early access for cash grap and abandon the game later

[basstringer]

If you're strapped for resources early on -- you can slap a piece of roof onto a tree and use that to cover your workbench instead of a lean-to.

[alexthor]

Hope this game explodes! It's really fun to play with mates. Imagine being 5v5 and building bases competing with the other clan

[tylerpalmer]

Pro-tip: falling logs deal damage to other logs that are on the ground. In the meadows, you'll have fine wood tree logs on the ground occasionally, which can be broken and give fine wood if hit by enough logs. Makes getting better equipment early on and recovering from deaths so much easier.

[TheDantheman]

I cannot believe this game is in early access. So excited for the future of it.

[ardayetmisbir]

A little suggestion for early gamers.
If you roll them down a hill while cutting trees or knock them over each other, they take fall damage. So you can turn them into wood more easily. By the way while rolling, they break down small trees for you and create wood. It's fun to do it :D Thanks for the video.

[cassioschneider]

Tip for workbench with less wood:
you can do it with 1x wall (behind bench) and 2x 26º roofs (kinda overlapping)
this allows the bench to be usable and much less wood

[ivyrion]

Use a fallen tree to break a birch tree early on, roll it into it until it falls, fine wood from birch trees makes the most op thing in the game, Finewood bow, shoots straighter and does more damage

[Zumokatato]

i cant even describe how handy this video was to me. I was completely lost after making my base. Now i have a way clearer view on how everything works. Thanks!

[jakethewoz]

Helpful tips that I didn't see here:
1. There's no penalty for destroying something you build. If you disassemble it, you get all the materials back.
2. You can find stones really easily if you turn the foliage graphics to the minimum. I don't do it often, but if I really need some stones, it really helps.

[OfficialLunaRune]

Bought it last night, played for 9 hours in total so far. Gotta say I hope this game gets a lot of attention. Played with 5 friends, all I can say is DONT trust them around tree’s! About to hit the Forest today to. The tips was super helpful espically rested since it confused me a lot, but now I know you turn to a Demi god hah. Great work man.

[GentlemenMonkey]

I haven't fought the first boss yet but found a troll so they're around prior to that. Thanks for the video, learned a few things for sure.

[LetoZeth]

It's worth mentioning that a campfire can have 2 cooking stations at the same time, if you place them directly opposite of each other.
Let's you cook 4 meat at once, instead of 2.

[scaleworksRC]

I ran around until I found a decent house and fixed it up. It has a rock in the middle but I expanded the walls so it's nice now. It's so satisfying! Thanks for the tips man.
