Natives stay out of the caves, they will literally stop at the entrance in fear. The cave does have scorpions that respawn but they're very easy to kill. There's a large cave there that has water-dirty in the back and an opening to allow campfire and water collection. I forgot to add: You can place a shelter down with a leaf bed inside, then place your fire close to the bed and it won't go out in the rain.īest place is 52-16 Very Top Left or North East of the Map. I have now been here for 28 days with no problems at all and consider it one of the best places for a base until of course, the map gets extended in a future update.

If you struggle to get your shelter and fire down on the first day, just use the hammock and fire pit in the village until you are done. There are Capybara (already mentioned) that are the best food source for fats and protein, bananas, mushrooms and fruit nearby. This is pretty central on the map which makes it easy to explore and return to your base in a single day. But, you often get tribesmen very closeby and also a Jaguar, so I built my own camp to the rear of the village (amongst the palm and banana trees). I used this as a base for several days as Capybara often just stroll into the camp and make themselves an easy kill. I've tried many locations for a base even having bases all over the map, but this one is the best I have come across.Īt the start of your save, go to the abandoned village at 46w-26s. This may help some of you that are new to the game, or struggling.
