what to do on first winter

[beans]

yeah my friends and i made it to day 20 but dont know what to do and prep in winter

any tips??

[JoKeRsMiLe]

keep getting wood pick whatever food you can make thermal stones/winter clothes winter is pretty easy i hate spring and summer the most.To prepare for winter you want to do that in autumn.

For this type of thing you have to make a thermal, have a functioning base and have a Wickerbottom. Tell the Wicker to make the book the grows all plants and tell her to use it every time your farm is picked clean about 2 days before winter. Use a firepit to heat thermal.
plants do not grow in winter so stock up on twigs and grass. i would worry about grass more due to the fact that you can get twigs in winter by a Twiggy Tree or planting a tree then digging it immediantly. on day 30 please get away from your base as on day 30 Deerclops is about Deerclops is the winter season boss it is easy to defeat but you should still prep with log suits and spears and football helms. Good luck! :)

Generally the only way mobs kill bosses for you is specific set pieces. Like the Reed trap tentacles will easily kill a boss while the tallbird fortress will at least severely weaken them. Though tree guardians can also destroy some bosses.

If you have none of the above don't even bother. Bosses absolutely slaughter normal mobs and the only reason the above mentioned things work is the sheer number.

That being said bosses are generally endurance fights. Bait a hit, hit them a few times repeat until dead.
Don't rely on traps or mobs unless you know exactly what you are doing.

Spears and log suits are fine, but due to the low damage output you will turn insane, so be prepared to deal with shadow creatures. Be sure to build a fire pit and fuel I before the fight. You might be fighting a while especially when learning kite patterns.

Shave Beefalos, craft a thermal stone, have a campire always ready to place, and grass, if you are skilled enough to kill beefalos, let one alive so you can farm a horn, then do a beefalo hat, beware of day 30 in which Deerclops spawns (boss) and get a lot of ice so u can make meatballs easily, kill tusk for cane a Tamo, hope you two can survive more!

OK we survived winter, almost died to the thing but we got it!

how to prep for the next seasons??? spring & summer?

[Lorska]

Gather all the ice you can and put it in an ice box.
You will need an iceflingomatic by Summer to prevent fires.

Spring is fairly simply, have a lightning rod and get some water protection gear. An umbrella for one and the eyebrella from the deerclops eye for the other guy.
Spring is harvesting season due to the rain, so if you relocated twigs and grass to your base and have some farms you will swim in resources soon.
There isn't much reason to explore, just collect resources.
There is a chance of frog rain, so you might want to make a field of normal traps to kill all of them for easy frog legs.

Summer will wither plants and start fires so that's why you want a flingomatic. Protect your base and your resources. To combat the heat there are numerous ways, you can craft heat insulation gear like a floral shirt but honestly I'm more of a fan of thermal stones and food that cools you down (if you have enough ice left over). Stop using your fire pit and get an endothermic fire pit instead.

As for bosses, moose/goose in spring can spawn multiple times but is an incredibly easy boss, remember to catch your weapon when she toots her horn and be mindful of the demonic kids after she dies.
The antlion is the easiest boss in the game and you can find it in the Oasis desert. Feed it a cold thermal to trigger the fight in summer.

Alternatively, if you have ways to deal with sanity drain you can spend the whole summer in the caves. Never overheat and no fires down there. It's probably the best season to explore down there.
