I've noticed some problems with the killbox in the more recent versions. So I announce: I'll be making a new version very soon!

Why not. It functions as long as there is firewood or another fuel thought refueling can become a problem.

I'm gonna design a farm but I don't know how the sawblade locusts spawn. I'm thankful for every information.

Have anyone tried this or similar design to be built in a cave (like in a crossing of multiple caves providing solid feed of monsters to your location) to harvest Jonas parts from sawblade locusts?

I can try

Does this game actually have path finding of any kind? If so, water should simply be treated as an obstacle by animals.

Like land being preferred over water?

I know this is unrelated, but I have 800+ hours in this game, and I'm still unable to make a proper cellar that let's me age blue cheese. Everything else I've achieved, but this blue stuff seems to be beyond my skills to design cellars. If you have a working design that is recognized as a cellar but at the same time is open to the outside... can you help?

Sure, but I need at least a picture.

They should just straight up avoid water as long as there is land.

Should I make another guide? And what kind of guide would you like me to make?

Here is my last (and only) guide:

Thank you for the 1k views and keeping this guide up this long. Maybe I should make another guide.

I've noticed this too, where the satiety bar suddenly jumps up and back down when eating. Not found any pattern to when it happens or linked to any specific food.

 

It's linked to the meals. And nothing else.

Eating meals also gives a satiety bonus, that blocks any use of hunger for a short period of time.

How about adding maple syrup as a alternative to honey?

You'd need to gather sugar water from maples and distill (very effective) or cook (less effective) it into maple syrup.

Tried it, works pretty well. Thank you

No problem.

It now finished!

Maybe check it out.

I posted my guide a view hours ago. It's still going through moderation so u may not be able to see it rn. It's also still WIP. I'll update it soon though.

This is a Guide on how to build an easy and cheap killbox / bunker (I designed it myself).

You are required to at least have access to copper tools already.

(I´m not really experienced at posting stuff online and English is also not my main language, so please correct me if I make any mistakes)

Building Materials

You´ll need:

• ~ a Stack of any solid building blocks
• 9 slabs of any kind
• 4 stairs of any kind
• 4 ladders of any kind
• 36 trapdoors
• 4 doors (1*2 of any kind)
• 1 dry grass
• 4 firewood
• a bucket of water
• some storage (any storage will work)

Tools

You´ll need:

• a hammer
• a chisel
• a shovel (for digging dirt)
• an axe for breaking misplaced trapdoors and doors
• tools for breaking the building materials (in case you misplace them)

Building it

1. First, dig a 9*9*3 hole (you may need to flatten the terrain around it).
   
   (the packed dirt is just for illustration)
    
2. Build a fire pit in the middle.
   
    
3. Fill the corners with water (on the with packed dirt marked spots).
   
    
4. Place ladders in all four corners (exactly like in the picture below).
   
    
5. Build a 5*5 ring out of the building block you´ve chosen at the same height level as the terrain around the pit.
   
    
6. Replace 4 of the building blocks with stairs (like in the image).
   
    
7. Fill in the empty space with slabs (facing downward).
   
    
8. Carve of a layer of the middle slab using the 4*4*4 chisel brush.
   
    
9. Carve a hole into the middle using the 4*4*4 chisel brush.
   
    
10. Carve of parts of the inner edge using the 2*2*2 chisel brush.
    
     
11. You need to place trapdoors (it will make drifters and other think that they can walk onto that space).
    First, place two parallel rows of trapdoors, which face sideways from the trapdoors (so you don´t get stuck on them).
    
     
12. Add two more parallel rows.
    
     
13. Place trapdoors at the stairs, each facing the stair they´re placed at.
    
     
14. Fold down the trapdoors.
    
     
15. Place doors on each of the stairs.
    
     
16. Build a 2 block high wall out of the building block you´ve chosen.
    
     
17. Build a roof out of the building block you´ve chosen.
    
     
18. Add storage.
    
     
19. Add necessities.
    
     
20. You´re done building it! Now it´s ready to use!

How to use it

Just get in when the temporal storm starts and fuel up the campfire (through the hole).

To cut up the drifters corpses, sit down right next to the hole and cut them up (through the hole).
You can also use it catch wolfs and bears and cook!

That´s it!

Please leave a review if you have any questions or issues.

So almost certainly not a day 1 build? 

No, but a experienced player like me and probably u will get to copper age even before the first temporal storm.

But maybe u can make it even cheaper when I release a proper building guide. 

From my knowledge, u can "swap" a lantern's glass giving u the ability to change it's colour.

U will have to be at least in the copper age.

Just wait for my guide to release, and then u know.

First, dig a 9*9*3 hole.

(The packed dirt is used to showcase it better)

Then, build a firepit in the middle.

Afterwards, place water on the marked spots in the corners.

So these are the first three steps.
How do u like it?

There's only one way to get good at anything. Work at it.

This forum, or even this thread, would be a perfect place to get some practice. Take a few screenshots, do your best at writing it up, and post it. Here.

ok, I´ll try

The problem is, that you haven't communicated very well, what you actually want.

"help me please" isn't helpful. "I need help" isn't helpful. "help" isn't helpful.

One could assume by your initial comment, that you would like to design a guide to put it somewhere online, maybe in written form, in a forum, a wiki, possibly complemented by images. Maybe you want something completely different. Or a bit of both. Or...

It's usually beneficial to give people as many details as possible, especially if one hopes for a timely and/or helpful answer.

Sorry I'm just bad at communicating.

Looks like you need to read a guide about making a killbox for drifters...

I have a working design already.

I want to make a guide about making a killbox for drifters, but idk how.
