Totems

[ABeardedBrit]

After i set up my small camp near the water edge i got attacked at night and held off the natives, but when i looked around when the sun came up there was little totems all over the place, any idea what these are for, Markers maybe?

Its their way i believe of saying hes over here so we go over there. pretty much a checkpoint

Nope which is weird, hopefully in the future you can

They place them down, and i've watched them doing some sort of action, almost like praying to them (The totems) They're all over the place. No way to destroy them that i know of.

thye are effigies, the dead passengers from the plane and lost tourists. they use them to mark your last known location..

i'll have to try but i think you can burn them with the flare gun/molotov?

Sir Grimm: you are right, they appear all over...but they def use them to mark your location...maybe they are the locations of past victims?

I don't believe it is always to mark your last known location, as i've spotted some in areas i've never been before, and there is always ten or so in an open field, i could be wrong though.

I think the totems have several meanings. I think they mark patrol points, they tell you to gtfo (I made a camp, some dudes came and put a totem right next to my shelter and left), they probably mark your location. But I think they're also some kind of tombstone or reminder of the canibals you killed. Because I've killed almost all of them and there are totems everywhere.

From what I can tell they are a boundary system. It's their way of saying do not enter. If you see these totems find a way around

Confirmed. Built 3 little ones and a big one on a cliff next to a little ship. There is a huge tree at the end of that cliff with one of their totems, where they used to place and eat a body or pray.
After placing the totems with the body parts of the natives they avoid that location more and more. Now they run away most of the time or only one of the big guys dares to attack but he usually keeps some distance. Long story short: they do help a lot. Made it even possible for me to build the log house with no interference from their side.
