Aberration start locations

[ATM_Reaper]

Ok so the easiest start location has no water that I can find so not easy at all lol. Tried next easy spot got eaten by an alpha basilisk. 2 more tries later Ive almost got a house. Man this is tough for single player.

Avoid the water, the crabs kill you so quick... :I

Easy fertile lake is okay in some places, crabs aren't that dangerous with a bow.

Yeh and on that note, why do the crabs constantly jump up and down, makes it look rubbish???

Bad game physics, now they hop like us getting out of the water.

Strangely enough, I found that the only immediate dangers in the 'hard' areas are the ravagers, sometimes raptors, and scorpions. Not enough of them to worry about, easy enough to avoid. Lots of dodos and lantern doggos for easy early meat/tamed light dudes

Yeh Im working my way through the areas, i think the main message here is the easy areas are hard and the hard areas arent that hard lol

The water in aberration is really dangerous in the beginning. Spinos, Sacros and these crabs -_- ... yeah not really easy. A crab just run/jumped at me and smashed me to the ground

Found a nice, and safe location but there seems to be a bug. I can' T drink from the small rivers and lakes :(

My spawn point is the first "hard" on the list. The most dangerous creatures that I found are raptors and carnos, so far I just died once. So far so good !.

Tip: Your first mission is to get berries and to find water ASAP. Level up on speed + stamina.

My biggest problem with this expansion so far is the lack of water. To me, this isn't difficulty, it's artificial because of the lack of tools needed to survive. Even on scorched you had water bugs and spots for wells, allowing you to options for build locations. I haven't actually had a legitimate death yet. I've only suicided when my water runs empty. This is at the portal spawn.

I'll probably start in a different area, but its frustrating since i already started a base and a few tames, thinking, "surely there is a water source somewhat close".

My concern is even in lategame you will be forced to live next to a river or lake since there is no similar mechanic to the SE water wells.

it's not that hard, eat the mushrooms they give a buff that stops all water from draining
do not consume ALL the mushrooms as they literally give close to no water,
no,
just eat 1 again after the buff is gone (to keep the no water drain as long as possible)

I ate the aquatic mushroom. It looked like it gave me a buff with an icon of a guy with a shield. But it only lasted a half a second. Didn't seem to do anything. I thought it would make sense that eating cave mushrooms was a possible source of water but it doesn't work.

The aquatic mushroom gives an immunity to poisons but drains water fast :(

Sense this does not make.
I guess the easy portal spawn is the worst in the game. I still find it strange that there doesnt seem to be any alternative water sources even at endgame. Limits base building options too much.

Sure that makes perfect sense! Aquatic shrooms are resistant... to ... poisons? Da fuq

We found a great location at Lat 32 Lon 60. I believe it is actually listed as a hard section, but far easy than any of the so called "starting areas" by the lake.
