Wilson is the first character in the selection menu for a reason! He’s a well-rounded character, with solid Health, Sanity and Hunger (all of which drain at average rates). His only "special" ability is to grow a beard, but that can actually come in handy. Wilson’s beard can insulate him in the winter and can be trimmed to make Meat Effigies, which are used to resurrect the pla

It's got everything you can ever want in a farming game and then some (like dungeoneering, mining, or even marriage and courtship). If the music doesn't win you over, then the quirky and suspiciously single inhabitants of the town surely will. You might not even come back to Harvest Moon after trying out Stardew Val

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

That’s what ultimately makes WX-78 one of the best options for covering long distances in a short period of time. He can move quickly, especially if struck by lightning, and the chance to find some Gears on your travels is a great incentive to keep mov

Not a farmer in the traditional sense! Wendy is great at farming resources from Spiders and other swarms of creatures or animals. This is primarily thanks to the assistance of her ghostly sister, Abigail, who can be summoned every two to four days. Abigail has over 600 Health (which regenerates at 1 point per second) and can do anywhere from 10 to 40 damage, depending on the time of

Mandrake Soup restores 100 health, 150 hunger and 5 sanity points. This actually puts it above the Fresh Fruit Crepes in keeping your character alive. There is no disadvantage to eating this recipe except that you're using up a mandrake. Mandrakes are limited, switchworlds.com about 2-5 per world. They're often better used for crafting a pan flute or by keeping them in your inventory. The reason for this is twofold: mandrakes don't spoil but the soup does and they can put other enemies to sleep when you eat t

This robot can seem a bit difficult to master at first, what with his weakness to rain and relatively low initial stats. However, the upgrades that WX-78 can grab are pretty worth it. Gears are hard to come by but will bring WX-78’s stats right up. He is also 'charged' by lightning strikes, which will lend him some additional movement sp

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 inst

Quick note to exercise your own due diligence here, as the mod author claims that anti-virus software will incorrectly label this a virus, when in fact it is technically a hack-tool. Let's hope a new version comes out that doesn't have to rely on this approach anymore, but we take no responsibility for your use of the mod in its current f

In stark contrast to peacefulness of Plantera or the relaxation you get from Harvest Moon, Don't Starve can be pretty stressful. At its core, Don't Starve and its noteworthy sequels are rogue-like survival games with base building, exploration, crafting, and farming mechanics. If you die, you lose everything you have but that doesn't mean the game will dissuade you from trying over and over ag

A great way to start your day, both in Don't Starve and in the reality. The Bacon and Eggs recipe from don't starve restores 20 health, 75 hunger and 5 sanity points. Not quite as good as the Dragon Pie but still a very respectable recipe. Eggs, depending on the the world you landed in and what biomes are nearby, can be relatively easy to f

Just as Frostfall added a sense of harsh realism to the colder climates of Skyrim, Hypothermod brings the same experience to Red Dead Redemption 2. The mod factors in temperature, wind speed and how wet you are, then decides how best to punish you for

For instance, make sure that you place your Icebox, Crockpot, and any Drying Racks fairly close to each other. That way, when you're pulling food out of the Icebox to put into the Crockpot, you can keep them both open at once and just toss ingredients in to make yourself a m

Don't worry about making fire after fire or multiple Science Machines around the world as night falls at the end of each day. You'll find plenty more gold and wood to create another one once you find the perfect spot for your base. Plus, they can be helpful to return to if you're out exploring and find yourself in a pi

You don't need to be a donkey to enjoy some waffles. In Don't Starve, you just need to gather the right kind of ingredients and throw it all in the crock pot. The ingredients are: a stick of butter, an egg and some berries. There are a few other variations on this recipe but they often require more valuable ingredie
