Carbs issue survival

[Darkspear]

currently day 10 in my survival mode play and i set up camp across from the fishing dock, at the bamboo smoker place.
I am having trouble finding carbs in sufficient quanties.

The plants dont have bulbs, the orange fruits dont give enough, and sofar i only found one banana tree with 5 fruits behind the dock. trekking long and bringin back more than i can eat seems like a waste.

1: is it possible to dry fruits in the dryer, so they last longer?

2: Idea: a watercooled net/cage in the river to make them last longer?

You can make a planters box and grow some..how about the fungi? eat fungi or make fungi soups. good soup is good for the soul

Sour sop also give good carbs + hydration.. Looks like avocardos.
look for the bush with red daisies not the red long stringy flower, they look like daisies.. break it down to find a large bulb cook it and get 35 carbs.
Look for monsteria plants big green leafy plants lots around, note some will have the brown and white flower you can harvest them if you want to grow but leave if you want the green fruit they have like 60 carbs and never have a timer to despawn. Eat as is no need to cook.
There is a small broad flat leafed plant break it down to get the malanga buld cook and eat for 35 carbs.
So aside from then there is unknown orange fruits bananas coconuts mushrooms orange cap yellow and blue on the brazilian trees. Quite a lot of carb foods around. In the fishing dock area you may need to travel further to find all of them. There is a few more behin the dock up the hill and to the right.

agreed to jaunitta post but the most common spawn of carbs i run into are heart of palm looks liek a skinny palm tree but near the top hasred skinny top cut it down and wait for it to fall heart of pal offers one of the most points of carbs in game

next is a huge red bush coverd in huge red flowers cassava you chop it down wait 5 seconds ish and itl spawn

to truly stop any decay timer u make soup teas infusions itl never spoil


things players dont normally know

u need to understand that all shrubs / plants share the same nodes meaning if u where to cut the brush ull force another random plant to grow in its spot .... to truly farm what u need in retro spec (MOW YOUR LAWN) leave nothing .... wait a about 2-4days for new plants to take place
youll be surprised not to mention this will lead to more sticks on ground /dry leaves / never ending supply of carbs and other sorces not only that

by mowing everything (the hunt) will be easier u can easily see more enimies have no where to hide ur prey has no where to hide you can then easily see pumas and jags since theirs no way for them to get camo


always bring back more than u need in my opinion its better to have an over stock then to have not enough :) despite it u can always turn them into soups so they never spoil :)

Wise words KyuDeathDragon I had forgotton about the heart of oalm as well. Thanks :)

i have found ZERO of those heart of palm tree's in 10 days

Around the fishing docks there are at least 4 or 5 banana plants, all of them are growing banana fruits. So it should not be a problem to find carbs in this area.

If you go from your place behind the fishing docks to the place where the stranded jeep is, you will find even more. So just keep your eyes open and get what Mother Nature has in store for you.

You can also build planters where you can grow your own banana plants. Use them and you will be fine :)

ye i know how the look, i am looking for them i have found ONE tree sofar to the right of dock up hill. played like 40 days combined on diff saves, thats the ONLY tree i saw

[Capuzzi09]

40 days and you didn't think of building some of those planting pots to grow some banana plants for your needs?

There are about 4 or 5 banana plants in the near vicinity of the fishing docks. And if you go from the docks along the big river in eastern direction and cross the smaller side arm of the river there, there are even more banana plants. So look around and open your eyes.

Edit: typos and phrasing.

40 days over several saves= several restarts. the save i was talking about was 10 days in. in those 40 days i saw ONE heart of palm tree
