mf2 Posted Sunday at 08:02 PM Report Posted Sunday at 08:02 PM So I just started the game and I am stuck in the tutorial. I am running around after creating the stone knife (which was a problem in itself, because the description in the tutorial gives incorrect shortcuts) and I only find grass and birch leaves. It seems that my character is already starving to death. How can I progress here?
Solution LadyWYT Posted Sunday at 10:08 PM Solution Report Posted Sunday at 10:08 PM Welcome to the forums(and the game)! Cattails are found near bodies of fresh water. On default settings, most water you see on the map will be fresh water; if it's a huge body of water then that's likely an ocean, which is currently a rare thing to find on the default settings. 2 hours ago, mf2 said: It seems that my character is already starving to death. How can I progress here? While cattails are important, if you are starving then your first course of action is to find food. Any food, provided that it isn't poisonous. Cattail roots can be dug up and cooked as an emergency food, however, that will destroy the cattail plant in the process and if it's a spawn with few cattails then searching specifically for them as a food source isn't the best course of action. I'd recommend looking around for some berries or mushrooms, or make a spear and go hunting(or fishing, if there's a sufficiently stocked pond). If you're not having any luck finding food to forage though, you may want to start over on a fresh world that has some better options at spawn. Most spawns tend to have several cattails nearby, as well as berry bushes or mushrooms to forage for your initial food.

Then I guess I am lucky. I spawned at the beach of an ocean and behind me is a huge (and I mean HUGE) mountain that I can't even climb. I swam around the whole island to find a better place to land, but to no avail. 7 hours ago, LadyWYT said: Cattails are found near bodies of fresh water. Thank you very much, so I am looking for lakes for rivers I guess. Maybe I will just try a new map. Again, thanks for the help!
