Guy with a dog start

[lehmode]

How can I even get anywhere on this start? Its practically the rock bottom start. The guy starts with no food, weapon, or armor. His and the dog's stats are at the minimum, and he has no money to do anything. Why does this start say the difficulty is normal? Im completely lost on how to get anywhere on this start

[Shidan]

Honestly I feel like it should be really difficult to survive at the start. That dog is not your average dog, and when it grows up will be far stronger than any other one. :)

Honestly the easiest thing to do would be to simply get enough food to survive. The dog will age over time and his skills will increase in relation to that. He starts with 50ish combat skills, they're just penalized due to age. Once he get some days on him he should be a huge boon to you.

It should probably be labeled differently on the difficulty though.

steal food and other items and sell them to fences or non Empire area's.

[Starside]

You spawn in Stach I think, scavange al the dogs that killed by guards and sell them, cook the meat to feed yourself, it was fairly same like other starts. No need to steal even.

basicly
this start need to hide from bandit(dust or hungry), if bandit see you, you're dead
even you can run from bandit, there's wolf den nearby
and might see beak thing if you run to wrong direction

if there's fight, pick higher price item from who been knock down
sneaky do it
when you enter near town, than you succeed like 50%
you will need to keep doing steal and go to hive village to sell
till you have money buy 10 green fruit and 3 building material to build a well
than you're okay to play this start.

1st new start, spawned in hiver village. Then I did that.stole some food. but got spotte. then the Hivers tore me and my lil dogy to bits.. and left us for to die slowly in the dirt.
I tried a second dogboy start and started way up to the far north west in that empty Imperial village... getting to mongrel... well... we're slow.. so... its very very hard. :)
I'll try again later.

when I spawned near the hive village, I mined copper first, hive gave me a hand. Then I sold some copper, got raw meat, made a campfire by the river cooked raw meat to get something to eat. Hive still was operating the copper mine, so I just collected the copper.

you will need to go outter
or walk in the river side
there's 100 cooper not far away

just need to watch beak thing
preety much cooper=beak thing patrol field
get cooper in stealth mode, same as your dog
if been see, run into hive store, don't look back

[Vagabond]

Just run to the hub and mine iron ore right outside the gate and sell to bar tender to buy food and a decent weapon. Jeez man the game start is too easy these days.

[johntarmac]

If you are near the hives then find a beakthing nest, run in grab an egg or 2 and sell to the hive. Just be careful not to overburden yourself. So easy it could be an exploit.

I only start on rock bottom, so I don't understand how someone can say that they don't know how to start with a dog that needs no food, and no broken limbs.

Fastest way to start the game for me is 100 cats on bed rest, looting dogs, and stealthing everywhere. Then stealing. About 4 days and I have food for a month if it's just 1 mouth.

My rock bottom start beats yours, started just north of the hub, killed 2 garru outside of hub and then went to the hives. Started selling beakthing eggs and by dawn of the second day I had nearly 30,000 cats stuffed down my underpants. Headed to Mongrel to buy some trousers, a sword, get Crumblejon and sleep in a bed.

well, in fact first goal is 1000cat for 10 green fruit(100cat*10)
(careful don't let char eat it, or buy a little more)
and 5* building material(115cat*5)
so, you can build one well and one green fruit farm
than 1*fabric(133cat) to build camp bed to rest

that farming to sell greenfruit
(crew can eat green fruit as food)
buy backbag, hire crews

that left arm, I don't care about it
with find a good place to build farm, than it's almost heal
doesn't affect in combat, if you don't need to carry others.

2nd step is build stone mine and stone processor
3rd step is build a small shack, and small research bench
4rd is 18*wheatstraw for research and build wheat farm

and another outpost(for iron ore or copper, depends on your first has iron or copper mine)
copper is not always need, but some part r structure will need

[deadboy]

I was lucky enough to spawn in a farm getting attacked by bandits, sold the gear and grabbed some food then booked it to Stack for training while stealing what I could at night.

A good tip is to play with nest turned up a bit higher and watch for bandits and holy soliders attacking dog nest then just run in and loot the meat to cook it.

While I'm not opposed to that sort of play, greenfruit definitely wasn't my start.. I regretted wasting the time I did on it for my location, 2-6 greenfruit per plot per harvest is unacceptable. But then I didn't expect much with 10% yields in my favored location. I settled for a spot with copper and iron a stones throw apart. while being with in short walking distance to hives and holy territory for trading and... thieving purposes.
