Desert Map Tips
Go for Cotton, then the big fat round cactus, then the tea trees, then rock, then build a nice maze wall for defence…
Then scavenge, build traps and so on, also seek out a source of wood and sticks if you can, as it can be scarce in Desert Biome and you need to be planting wood early, even if only to make doors and gates.
Cotton is what’s used to make clothes. If your survivors don’t have clothes they get hypothermia and if they don’t get treated or clothes to increase their bodyheat. They die. As for food there is obviously stuff to hunt. You can also farm Heptagonia which grow on rocks and give out syrup. You can also farm some of the cactus for distasteful flowers and pickle them.
The biggest challenge is that you won’t find wood like in Sobrius. Instead of using wood, you’ll need to use stone or metal for crafting.
There’s a special tree called the Oasis Tree that’s important. You should:
- Find one early in the game
- Study it first
- Then cut it down to get wood
Here’s a useful tip: Don’t wait too long to harvest Oasis Trees. They can actually die and disappear if left alone. I learned this the hard way when I waited for my tree to fully grow to 50/50, but it ended up dying before I could use it.
Be prepared, though: the best soil you can find for trees is only about 50 percent — and it is never handy. Oddly, it is also never the soil where you find your original oasis tree.
These two food sources should be available for you on your map atleast:
