[Scorpionshawn 134]

 OK I KNOW SOME FAN BOY WILL SAY "START SOME WHERE ELSE" BUT....  SO NEW PLAYER LOGS IN AND CANT WAIT FOR THE FUN AND PICKS STARTER ZONE C14. ITS SO COLD HE OR SHE DIES WITH IN 20 SECS. RE PETE THIS A FEW MORE TIMES WITH DYING AND THAT'S THE IMPRESSION OF THE GAME. CAN YOU SAY REFUND? THIS IS A BIG PROB. FOR CHRIST SAKES DEVS JUST GET A FEW TESTERS TO PLAY ALL YOUR STARTER ZONE TILL LVL 8 AND GIVE YOU SOME DAMN FEED BACK ON WHATS FUN AND WHATS NOT. STARTER ZONES LIKE C14 ARE NOT FUN!

I did a C14 start run for funsies to prove it could be done <.<

...but, yeah, it's pretty inefficient on the whole. You have to waste so much time and resources standing next to multiple campfires to avoid freezing, keeping them stoked. It's not fun or practical.

Strategy:

• Pray you didn't start during the night, run like hell to find wood/trees/fiber/stone.
• Make your first pick, rush making MULTIPLE campfires (If you're lucky, you might find some someone else made).
• Make some spears, kill something for hide, gather a bunch of wood, fiber and thatch.
• Buy a raft
• Die? (Optional)
• Make food if you can/must, but you're probably better off just ignoring a balanced diet and rushing a bed/storage so you can safely respawn without losing progress
• Die? (Probably)
• Sail for somewhere warmer... the Tundra isn't a place you can survive anyway.
• Die several more times from chilling sea winds before the raft hits to map border.
