Sometimes them domesticated animals are harder to keep penned up than nailing jello to the wall.

Correct

But those bones could prevent anything from spawning there since the air block would be occupied.

It's not yet in Beta. It's early release, which might be considered Alpha. It most definitely is not feature complete yet, a requirement to go to Beta testing.

The solution to animal fat is cultivating livestock. Pigs usually are the best for fat with added benefits of leather and meat. Bones if you want to fertalize your garden or make terra preta.

Why keep that from your 20,000 league under the sea challenge? Think I'll find me a nice coral reef and build me a sunken glass bathysphere

To my understanding, granite is the default rock strata that is overridden by the other rock strata. Given how granite can sometimes generate so much incredibly larger areas than the other rock strata, this makes sense to me. I haven't had a 9,000 block stretch of granite, but with RNG hate it is quite possible.

That's right! Because one seed produces multiple punkins. The last time I farmed punkins was 1.16 or 1.17, sooooo; it's been a while.

I hope my indication I was speaking from personal, anecdotal experience came through. One world I had constant wolf howls throughout the summer and first winter despite depopulating the wolves multiple times. Clear cut the forest, as described, and for the remainder of that world (I believe another in game year and a half) there were no more wolves spawned. Same has happened whenever I've forever homed near a wolf spawning forest and lived there multiple seasons pre and post deforestation.

If you aren't opposed to "cheating" you could slilp into creative mode, grant yourself 2-4 seeds (I think the yield was in that range) and discard the gourd source.

Unless you consider a longer battle an additional fee. Considering that death can be on the line much more from those sources than from the smaller sources.

Just 1. Been doing that since 1.16. Bushmeat is necessary to craft recurve bows. Yes wolves an' bears provide bushmeat, but the 'coons and foxes are much easier to kill and a lot less deadly.

Not necessarily. Every single time I've had forest floor, the wolf spawns stop after I deforest the area. Usually to remove the non-resin bearing trees and denude the pine trees to make the resin more obvious when I visit for a harvest.

@Krougal LOVE that film! As for why is it bismuth bronze? Aside from another avenue to bronze (if one does not have tin) bizmuth bronze also has different stats, typically higher durability, but less damage for weapons.

I believe you need a knife, but it may be a specific spot to place the knife so you don't get squash chunks. Check the handbook, it should be in there how to get seeds.

No need to do that. Just put skeps on a fence post and raccoons can't reach them. Instead of nerfing rabbit spawning I wish Tyron would have nerfed the benefit from killing them. Drop maybe 1 red meat, maybe 1 small hide and absolutely no fat. Killing 20 rabbits to get maybe 10 meat and hopefully 5 hides would definitely eliminate my desire to take the time to kill them. Basically, make them more like drifters.

This should be moved to a First Night checklist. All of that can be accomplished by ending Day 1 digging a hole in a clay deposit. Spend the night clay forming and knapping flint tool heads (which stack to four btw) so that you are plenty equipped for the Day 2 Wanderings and explorings.

1 day is useless. At midnight oh one, May 2 drifters can start spawning. So it's more like 0.25 days instead of 1. As I've mentioned elsewhere, I find a clay deposit to hobbit hole inside while I find my forever home. Benefit of squatting in a clay deposit is time during the day to dig dirt, build dirt bunker and dig clay for the first night of crafting. Instead I'm busy finding copious amounts of flint, grass, sticks and food. If'n I'm doing well enough a stack or two of logs to start charcoaling.

Have you tried finding zinc in granite? Compared to that finding anything and everything in VS is a cake walk! *raises hand* What better way to get shelter and begin crafting than digging a hole in clay as the initial home? Gone are the days of racing to build that initial dirt hut before bowtorns and drifters and shivers, Oh MY! Now it's dig a hole in clay and pop a dirt block on top.

logic errors are the worst!

Built a friend coz you couldn't find one? Who do you think you are? Jonas Falx?!

It'll be interesting to see what other lands will be settled.

It's definitely not a stone age priority. At best a secondary copper/bronze age priority. And while I mentioned the benefit of elk breeding to offset the cost of getting a second mount, should be taken as an indication it should be a high priorty.

It might make sense to capture 2 elk, for breeding. That way if one dies you can create replacements for free since 100 gears can be pretty steep.
