Help in finding Berries and Nuts

[Mr. Goblin]

I am a new player on the second Hardest difficulty (and I refuse to go lower).

I keep dying on Day 2. I can't seem to find any Berries or Nuts anywhere in my area. And I have not the energy nor time to explore much further out. Is there a way to 'knock nuts out of trees"? I need a better way to find berries and tree nuts. Drops are not going to do it for me, on this difficulty setting.

Red berries (Psychotria) are only useful for the rituals. You can find them randomly throughout the forest. Brasilian nuts are found in big tree's root crannies. Usually near blue mushrooms and vines.

there are no edible "berries" the only berrie in the game is psycotria and there not edible

if you need carbs well there bananas theres the 2 bulbs theres the wild tomatoes theres the mushrooms "depends on the type" theres coconuts theres also the cans that you can scavenge oh and of course theres the anti-parasite pear looking ones

point is theres plenty plenty of sources of carbs all around "you just need to know where to look"

In addition to the above comments, you can usually fine Pine Nuts near the massive trees that you get the vines for the ritual from.

I remember reading in your previous thread you don't want wiki spoilers so i try my best to describe plants for you.

1.You can knock coconuts out of the palm trees by throwing stones at them (Press G).
2. Large rubbery looking plant with one large white flower. Don't pick the flower let it grow and it will ripen in to a corn looking fruit. Jammed packed with carbs, can eat it raw or cook/stew
3.Small plant with large heart-shaped leaves, cut this down and you will get a bulb, which you can cook or stew.
3.Large plant with green leaves with a hint of white, has medium red flowers. Cut it down for a large long white bulb.
4.Thin small palm tree, with red at top of trunk, cut down for thin white core.
5. Medium sized fern/palm with red base. Don't cut it down, it will often drop nuts.
6. Thin stick-like trunk and small leaves, has green fruit. yum yum!
7. Largish size plant with thin red flowers, cut down for flowers, good for fever.
8. Extremely tall tree with huge base, nuts can be found in between the roots, blue mushrooms grow on the roots as well.
7. keep a eye out for fallen tree logs, mushrooms grow here too.
8. Small plant with orange looking fruit. extra yummy.
