This is all portrayed in a somewhat Tim Burton-esque art style which really does add to the games charm. But even considering all the dangers you face in this game, hunger is the most persistent threat of death. To help you overcome this danger, here’s Don’t Starve: The Most Nutritious Recipes, to help you know just what you should cook in your crock
Don’t Starve by Klei Entertainment is a unique open world sandbox survival game with horror elements. Right from the get go, the title tells you your objective, to not starve. That can be easier said than done in this charming little game. Not only must you forage for food while building up a base, you also need to be wary of various enemies and weather conditions as well as your own san
It would be a travesty to not include a recipe from the games only playable chef, Warly. Fresh Fruit Crepes can only be crafted with Warly’s Portable Crock Pot, which is exclusive to him. It requires a fruit value of 1.5, butter and honey. This can make it a tricky recipe to make but it is definitely worthAfter a few games and a few deaths, however, the pace of play picks up because experience is at work teaching you what to do. Gather resources like flowers, grass, twigs, rocks, berries, and carrots as quick as possible. Craft flint and twigs into an axe and harvest trees. Plant the pine cones to replenish the tree supply and combine the wood and some rocks into a fire pit, which will eventually be the centerpiece of home base. Spend every second of the first few days putting that base together and then start budgeting time between resource gathering and exploring the wide-open world. While that sounds a lot like work it’s actually a rewarding kind of fun, once you get the taste for it.The work of survival can be a bit grinding at times, but there’s a satisfaction to be had from making a plan and seeing it through. Today I have food but want to build something, so it’s off to harvest logs and craft them into boards. Trees are cheap, plentiful, and easily renewable, but tomorrow I want gold and finding veined rocks isn’t so simple. Loading up on roasted carrots and berries and taking the trusty pickaxe out for a stroll into the stony wastes solves this problem, but there’s frequently other things to find there as well, such as a jagged pile of rocks that signifies a cave entrance. That’s an adventure for another day, though, because the gold I’m bringing home will make an alchemy engine, which in turn allows the creation of much better gear that increases the odds of crawling out of the cave alive. The cycle of work/reward turns at a pleasant pace, making the results of all that effort feel like something earned.
Careful not to overuse your Axe, though, as Woodie can quickly turn into the Werebeaver! You can consume logs if you want to keep that ability going, though. If you like to gather a lot of wooden resources for crafting, building and turning into a giant monster, then Woodie’s the character for
Oh, and there’s also the fact that the main focus of the game is crafting instead of farming. Nevertheless, it’s every bit a time-sink as Harvest Moon . you get to build things for the town, raise animals, and also do other social or recreational activities. Oddly enough, the game takes place in a post-apocalypse setting, fancy t
The ultimate dish in Don’t Starve is this most fantastical of dishes, Mandrake Soup. Mandrake soup is a very simple recipe that is nonetheless very rarely seen. It requires a mandrake and, well, that’s it. All that needs to be done to finish the recipe is to fill it with filler, just be careful about some ingredients. The simplest way to make this is to simply put in three tw
The nominations are in and the finalists have been officially selected for the 2013 Canadian Videogame Awards. This year, the fifth for the relatively young award ceremony, is quite a bit different.

Honey Ham restores 30 health, 75 hunger and 5 sanity points. Honey Ham also raises your characters perceived temperature by 40 for 10 seconds. This puts it right in-between the Dragon Pie and Bacon and Eggs. One more thing to note, you do need to be especially careful with your ingredients if you have the Shipwrecked DLC. If you put in too much fish you’ll make seafood gumbo instA quick stroll north, carefully circumventing the robots patrolling an area I don’t have weapons strong enough to survive venturing into yet, and I find the skeletal corpse of an adventurer who died with his boomerang, which is not only a very helpful item but also frees up the resources I’d already gathered for other things. I’ve never gotten to use a boomerang before, though, so the first thing to do is find something to chuck it at. Tossing it at a crow nets a black feather, useful in a crafting recipe for… something. I’ll look it up when I get back to camp. Unfortunately it also comes back and smacks me in the face, knocking my health down to just above nothing. That didn’t go well but practice makes perfect, and it seems like a nicely powerful weapon so obviously the smart thing to do is use it again as quickly as possible. Turns out practice makes dead, and I’m all out of sacrificial altars for revival. The unforgiving lands of Don’t Starve have killed me again, but next time will go better. Probably.
