If Meat is not available, Monster Meat can also be used. Furthermore, Jerky also restores significantly more Sanity and Health than other forms of prepared meat. Although Jerky does take twice as long to dry in winter, this process will still allow it to remain fresh for another 15 days (or longer if it is stored in an Ice Box). Meat received by killing Tallbirds, Koalefants, Beefalos, Volt Goats and Pigs can be used as a food supply for the winter. Any meat which begins to spoil (which can happen in the latter-half of winter) may be dried using a Drying Rack to produce fresh pieces of Jerky. Some may find it useful to set-up groups of Evergreens, Farms, Berry Bushes, Grass, Saplings, or Bee Boxes near their main camp. It should be noted, however, that only Evergreens will grow at a considerable rate during winter. This will cause the player's Naughtiness Rating to increase significantly, potentially causing Krampus to appear and steal the player's items. However, if a situation arises in which food is desperately needed and only live rabbits are available, the player will be forced to murder them all at once. Rabbits can be stored in chests to completely avoid spoilage altogether, but each individual rabbit will take up an entire slot of storage. Honey spoils extremely slow so pack a great deal of it. As such, gathering and storing food before winter begins is a far more efficient way of building-up one's food stores.Ĭertain foods ( Seeds, Fish, Honey, Koalefant Trunk) become extremely scarce (or outright impossible) to obtain during the winter, so special care should be taken to collect these before summer ends. Additionally, harvesting these winter-only foods can be difficult, dangerous, or time-consuming. While there are some unique food sources (such as Winter Koalefant and Deerclops) which only become available during the winter season, most of these are sporadic and should not be depended upon for survival. Storing food is an essential part of preparing for winter. It's always good to be prepared in terms of food, equipment and a base. The first steps for winter survival can be done before winter itself begins.
