Question please

[Bromius]

can you have more then 1 beds , i ask because if i port some where and die id like to use the one closest to me ?

You can have more than one bed, but it looks like you have to choose which one is the spawn point for when you die.

So when you go to a new area, make sure to set the nearest spawn point before doing anything overly risky if you want a shorter run back when things go sideways. :)

Pretty sure the bed you used last is set as your respawn you can't pick and choose

Yes. Fist on a bed sets it as spawn and owner, second on a bed is to sleep.
The game will use for you whichever bed you used last and will keep the other ones for you to select and use later.

I fix up a lot of the abandoned cabins while exploring and add a bed to each to set a spawn close to where I am.

Yes, I too will sometimes make a camp of them, campfire, workbench, bed, chest.
Curiously the beds in them can't be repaired or used.
Too many bed bugs, I guess.

It uses the bed you last activated, even if you didn't use it to sleep. So if you make a new bed and activate it without sleeping you will still respawn at this bed.

You need to select the bed once to change your spawn-point.
If you have access to copper already, the way I do it is with a few gates.
I put a gate somewhere in a cabin and explore around. If I'm in over my depth I can come back quickly.
I can juggle with 2 or 3 gates like that.
It has the added benefit of quick resource storage.
