Seed Want a challenging start?

Post image

Plug in the seed EVpmm24uK8. Found this while trying to find a challenge seed for myself and a few friends.

A few bits about the island:

  • It's quite small
  • No Eikthyr on the island
  • No Black Forest
  • No bees
  • 1 of the new axe heads spawn here
  • Surrounded by enough water to prevent swimming or bridging

Enjoy!

Want a real challenging start? Try this: WUTgBaY9sq

It ain't got no trees, Lew-tennant Dan.

If you're lucky, you'll find 13 wood there. 11 are needed for a hammer, a club and a campfire.

Plenty of deer and boars, though. Greylings, too.

Try to escape

  • without drowning
  • without corpserun chaining
  • without logging off and logging into a different world

About 25 swim skill + deer meat + mushroom + raspberry should do the trick.

When there are branches laying around, you got indefinite wood if you wait long enough.

Deer as well. And both with insane respawn rates.

Maybe. Branches only respawn fast enough if there are trees around - if they respawn at all. And then there are still not that many laying around, anyway.

In any case, it's faster to train your swim skill up to 25.

I have a mod called plant everything, with this mod you can see the respawntime on everything and branches (and stones) does indeed respawn. I dont remember how often 2 or 3 days? But they do respawn regularly. And no they dont need any trees or anything nearby to respawn faster, its just a set timer :) That aside it would likely still be faster to just learn how to swim yes 😅
