Guides/Surviving Shipwrecked
This article may contain
instructional
language and subjective recommendations. Readers should read the content carefully, and follow accordingly.
This is a survival guide written primarily for the
Shipwrecked
DLC, which introduces new gameplay mechanics and several other changes. Only techniques and strategies unique to
Shipwrecked
are discussed here. For players who have not played Don't Starve before, see
this guide

Day 1
[
]
One should play Don't Starve how they usually play for the first day or two - collect resources and food, build a
Campfire
for the night, etc. The player will start on an island. Scout the island to get an idea of what resources are readily available, and what resources require a trip to a neighboring isle. Before being able to build a
Science Machine
for a
backpack
, build a primitive version called the
Thatch Pack
for more carrying capacity. It might be a good idea to craft a
pickaxe
, and mine
boulders
, as
flint
can be scarce on the first island. When gathering trees for a Campfire, it is advised to chop down the tallest trees, as they give off the most wood and the seeds for planting new trees. If one chops down a
Palm Tree
, the
Coconuts
can be hacked open with a
Machete
for
Halved Coconuts
, an edible food item. Jungle Trees can be chopped to obtain
Jungle Tree Seeds
, which can be used for fuel for a fire,
Eggs
, and
Bananas
; however, be aware that
Snakes
may spawn.
Day 2-5
[
]
Wilson rowing on the great open sea
For second or third day, craft a Machete
from the tools
tab. Use the Machete to hack down four
Bamboo Patches
and three
Viney Bushes
to make a
Raft
from Nautical
tab, the wood raft could also be used if the player doesn't have a machete. Be careful when hacking viney bushes for the raft as snakes have a very big chance to spawn and attacking a snake almost always causes more to spawn.
Deploy the boat onto water and right click to start sailing. One can find
Seaweed
in shallow
oceans
, which is a decent source of food in beginning days. Islands usually spawn in a ring, therefore the player should always sail on the edge between the shallow and the deep ocean. Most players only sail in one direction or in the direction of the waves, this is very dangerous in the first few days and it is strongly recommended to keep materials for a spare boat/boat repair kit. When one reaches medium and deep oceans, be sure to sail on the waves for a speed boost. This is accomplished by sailing into the wave from behind towards the direction wave is going. Be sure to avoid going into the waves the wrong direction, as this will add
Wetness
to the player and cause the boat to lose durability. If one is skilled at sailing, after much practice, one could 'compromise' with the waves. This is accomplished by going in one direction the wave is going, as waves do not go in just one direction, they go North-East, South-East, South-West, and North-West, however barely they could be. The Raft is superior to a
Log Raft
because of it's speed, although both the Raft and Log Raft have the same durability, 150.
Tips:
Explore the seas in circles near the discovered islands in case of need of landing. Searching far off, and finding no land for long time can lead to death.
Pay attention to the color of the waters, as it indicates depth, meaning land, coral reef, tar, etc. can be nearby.
Resources such as Twigs and
Gold Nuggets
are scarcer in
Shipwrecked
, so one may have to sail out to farther islands if one was unlucky. It is possible to spawn on an island without any particular resources, such as Flint.
The character's spawning island will not have
Gold Nuggets
, although some players have reported sightings of gold containing boulders.
Be wary when chopping down
Palm Trees
.
Coconuts
can fall onto the player's head, doing 20 HP damage each. It is possible for many coconuts to fall in a row.
If hunting mobs such as
Spiders
or
Monkeys
for meat, be wary that
Crabbits
will eat any food items they see on the ground.
Poison
is a new game mechanic, where players will slowly lose health
and sanity
for 3 days if
Anti Venom
is not consumed. As poison progressively worsen over time, it is very deadly. Poison is inflicted by yellow monsters such as poisonous
Snakes
,
Stink Rays
and Poison Fart Clouds from
Poisonous Holes
.
Crocodogs
are the oceanic equivalent of Hound attacks and will similarly occur every 3–13 days. Before an attack, the player character will comment on their approach (
e.g.
, Wilson says "Did you hear that?"), growling can be heard, and the music will change. Unless the player is well equipped to fight at sea, it is better to kite them to an island shore and fight them on land. Better yet, luring them to a school of
Bottlenose Ballphins
or a herd of
Water Beefalo
can allow the player to avoid fighting them altogether. Caution is advised when fishing at
shoals
, dropping meat item into the oceans and farming fish such as
Bottlenose Ballphins
, as Crocodogs (or
Sea Hounds
) may appear without warning at those times.
Be sure to create base farther away from the shore of islands, as incoming tides will increase character's wetness and put out Campfires.
Make sure to craft an emergency
Log Raft
if one decides to go on a long expedition without a
Boat Repair Kit
, so that when the boat is at very low durability, new log raft can be launched to hop on it.
The player may hammer the
Debris
for some extra
Logs
and a free
Boat Repair Kit
. The player may also hammer
Crates
found randomly, as those will drop random assorted goods, such as refined materials and, more rarely, a can of
"Ballphin Free" Tuna
, which cannot perish until opened.
Three new sources of
Gears
in
Shipwrecked
are a new Chess biome set piece (has a tiny island with a Teleportato, shallow oceans, and coral) with
Floaty Boaty Knights
, which drop Gears. The others are
Chests
(from
X Marks the Spot
),
Sandy Piles
or from the
Slot Machine
.
Day 5+
[
]
Once a suitable island is found (medium or bigger), with enough food to sustain hunger, with/without
Ice Boxes
, place down the following (likely in order):
Tips:
An
Ice Maker 3000
(
tab) can practically make hunger
a non-issue when combined with
Fish Farms
, a tree farm, snake-spawning
Viney Bushes
or
Spider Dens
. It can be used to easily craft
Meatballs
, one of the better
Crock Pot
recipes in the game. Its building requirements are fairly low; one
Thermal Stone
, five
Bamboo
, and two
Electrical Doodads
.
The player should try to gather materials for a
Row Boat
or
Cargo Boat
. A
Boat Torch
and
Thatch Sail
are also recommended at the minimum, or better, a
Boat Lantern
and
Cloth Sail
.
Snakeskin Sails
are also recommended, as they have the highest durability of all sails but have their speed between a Thatch and a Cloth Sail. Sails can be repaired with a
Sewing Kit
.
Players may continue to mine, explore, or search for the
Yaarctopus
(found rarely in
Coral Reef
biomes, which generates in shallow oceans), and exchange raw fish and trinkets for
Dubloons
, which can be refined into Gold Nuggets at a Science Machine. The
Yaarctopus
may also be given specific
Shipwrecked
Crock Pot recipes for specific boat items, such as a
Thatch Sail
or a
Spyglass
.
The player may come across the
Slot Machine
on a beach, and using it will cost one
Dubloon
and 5 Sanity
. The player has a 71.4% chance to roll three carrots, or a 14.3% chance to roll three skulls or three gold nuggets. Three carrots will spawn various natural items, three skulls will spawn enemies (three
Snakes
, or
Spiders
, or
Hounds
, or five
Poison Mosquitoes
), while three gold nuggets will spawn rare items. Loot from the Slot Machine can vary, from common items such as Twigs and Cut Grass
, or rare loot such as
Thulecite Suit
or
Obsidian
.
Craft some equipment for self-protection, including a Machete or
Spear
. Seashells protect from physical poison attacks while Limestone allows tanking at the cost of speed. (
Seashell Suit
at the minimum, or a
Limestone Suit
, both from the
tab).
Having a
Life Jacket
in inventory can come in handy in case of emergency of death on the waters. If its equipped before the player's boat is destroyed, the player will be dropped on the closest island with enough materials to make a raft.
Around day 16, players may create a
Meat Effigy
(-30 from max health
for each one built), for
Wilson
(shaving his
Beard
) or for others, get their sanity
to below 80 and kill
Beardlings
for
Beard Hair
. If available, always bring a
Life Giving Amulet
along. A
Piratihatitator
will be needed to build a Meat Effigy and a Life Giving Amulet.
The common trend is that most players think they need a base asap for safety, this is not true because there are multiple islands and some have specific biomes with specific materials, the player should almost always be nomadic with a small base ( science machine or better, fire pit/chiminea and a few chests. Extras such as ice maker 3000 or farms can be considered) never expect to settle somewhere permanently like in reign of giants or the vanilla game.
Further preparations
[
]
Hurricane Season
[
]
Hurricane Season
is the second season in
Shipwrecked.
By default, Hurricane Season begins on day 21 and ends on day 37. Seagulls will visit land, unlike in other seasons, where they can only be found at sea. Hurricane Season's hazards are
Wetness
(caused by constant rain), strong winds (slowing players that walk against the wind, pushing items left on the ground, and destroys walls), very frequent lightning (every 5–20 seconds), lack of food caused by
Seagulls
eating the
limpets
off the rock, lack of
seeds
due to the other
birds
not appearing in this season, and the
Sealnado
.
It is more dangerous to go out sailing or island exploring during the night or even late into Hurricane Season, as the strong winds make any non-wind resistant light source (such as
Campfires
and
Torches
) difficult to keep alight. As the season progresses, the ocean will become choppier with more and more
Big Waves
, which will cause boat damage and wetness regardless of the direction the player hits it.
Hail
also falls during Hurricane Season rainstorms. As of the
Eye of the Tiger Shark
update, hail is no longer a valid Crock Pot filler, but it can still be kept in an
Ice Box
indefinitely, extinguish fires, or be refined into
Ice
from four Hail.
Tips:
Monsoon Season
[
]
Monsoon Season
is the third season in
Shipwrecked.
By default, the season begins on day 37 and ends on day 58, with the rains starting on day 41. Monsoon Season's hazards are heavy, constant rain and
Flooding
, although lightning is far less frequent and strong winds never occur.
Small puddles form in the beginning of the season and become larger with each rainstorm, covering land and quickly inducing
Wetness
to a player standing in them. The tides will also encroach further onto land during this season, which, combined with growing puddles, could cause an entire island to become flooded. Puddles will also completely disable any crafting stations or machines (such as the
Ice Maker 3000
) if they spread to the tile that the structure is placed on. This makes floods a very serious threat as large puddles can render entire bases unusable until the season is over. All normal
bees
become
Killer Bees
(even ones in
Bee Boxes
), and
Crabbit Dens
close up for the season.
Poison Mosquitoes
will spawn from puddles and can be a constant nuisance, though they do have a 25% chance to drop
Venom Glands
, the rare ingredient in
Anti Venom
.
Tips:
Sandbags
(
tab) can be used to prevent flooding from puddles. If placed in the middle of a new puddle, the puddle will no longer expand, though this can be difficult to do later in the season as puddles grow. Surrounding your base with sandbags will also prevent flooding.
To prevent puddles from spawning in base, replace
turfs
with man-made flooring (such as
Wooden Flooring
).
A Snakeskin Hat and Snakeskin Jacket set (
tab) will fully protect the player from
Wetness
when traversing flooded areas.
A
Brain of Thought
(
tab) will allow the player to prototype items anywhere without a crafting station, and may be essential when Monsoon Season flooding renders crafting stations unusable. Its recipe is one
Brainy Matter
, one
Jellyfish
, and two
Ropes
at an Alchemy Engine.
Poison Mosquitoes
may be a constant nuisance during the season, especially if a puddle spawned near one's base. They are fast and inflict poison from physical attacks. However, they can be easily defeated by equipping a melee weapon and simply holding the attack key while they are near. They will target you once in range and move in to attack, but will not be able to sting you before your first hit stun-locks them. They will die in 3 hits from a Spear. However, one sting will poison the player, so it is still recommended to equip a
Seashell Suit
or
Horned Helmet
if spending large amounts of time near puddles or when engaging more than one mosquito.
The
Sharkitten Den
will open up and
Sharkittens
will spawn. Going near them, or attacking them causes
Tiger Shark
to spawn and attack the player. Tiger Shark also can spawn while sailing during any season, but has a higher chance during Monsoon Season. The Tiger Shark spawned without going near its den will not attack the player without getting attacked first, but it will attack everything else in the water and the player can be caught in the cross fire. It should be noted that Tiger Sharks and Sharkittens drop
Shark Gills
, one of the ingredients required to craft the
Dumbrella
, one of the best headgear items in the game.
Dry Season
[
]
Dry Season
is the fourth season in
Shipwrecked
and is equivalent to
Summer
. By default, it begins on day 58 and ends on day 74. Dry Season's hazards are
Overheating
and constant
volcanic eruptions
, which launch falling meteors into the air. Flooded areas from Monsoon Season will dry up within the first few days of the season.
The player will get three warning tremors half of a day before an eruption. When an eruption occurs, meteors will rain down from the sky, causing massive damage to anything they hit. If they hit land, they'll destroy nearly anything they hit and set anything flammable on fire. If they land in water, a ring of
Big Waves
will spawn from their point of impact. After the eruption is over, the air will be filled with ash that can make things difficult to see.
As the season goes on, the intensity and frequency of eruptions will increase. Meteors will fall every two seconds after one another, and two eruptions can occur in a row, especially during the very end of the season.
Tips:
Similar to the edges of the screen turning icy and crackling sounds playing before freezing takes effect in the base game, overheating is preceded by the edges of the screen turning yellow and a simmering sound playing. Immediately take precautions to prevent overheating if the warning sign appears.
Trees can help with sudden overheating in the early days of the season. However, later in the season, trees alone will not provide enough cooling.
An
Endothermic Fire Pit
and one or two
Thermal Stones
can help prevent overheating, so keeping a secondary chilled stone in a
Backpack
or is advised, although if the thermal stone heats up, this could consequently heat up the player faster. A
Floral Shirt
is also recommended as
Shipwrecked
makes it far easier to craft and is also available year round. One may also bring along a bunch of
Ice
if desired (from an
Ice Maker 3000
), to help with sudden overheating.
Chilled Amulet
is great if
Piratihatitator
has been made and a
Blue Gem
is at hand. Also, a
Straw Hat
can help slow overheating to give enough time to run to a tree.
A
Dumbrella
can practically negate overheating concerns, but crafting it requires
Shark Gills
from a
Tiger Shark
or
Sharkitten
.
Sailing during eruptions can be a relatively safe way of dealing with them. Sailing with a Row Boat or better is advised, with a Boat Lantern and Cloth Sail, as the increase in speed will allow the player to sufficiently dodge the meteors. The lantern will be needed if eruptions continue into the night.
Since meteors are a major hazard, it is recommended to either inhabit a barren island or go sailing when eruptions occur. Sailing may be easier, since the player has adequate speed to dodge the meteors. Having a large expanse of shallow oceans is highly recommended; the lighter color of the water makes the metero shadows easier to see and there are no normal waves to contend with in addition to the Big Waves caused by the meteors.

## Day 1\[ \]
One should play Don't Starve how they usually play for the first day or two - collect resources and food, build a [Campfire](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Campfire "Campfire") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/0/01/Campfire.png/revision/latest?cb=20121215202235) for the night, etc. The player will start on an island. Scout the island to get an idea of what resources are readily available, and what resources require a trip to a neighboring isle. Before being able to build a [Science Machine](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Science_Machine "Science Machine") for a [backpack](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Backpack "Backpack"), build a primitive version called the [Thatch Pack](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Thatch_Pack "Thatch Pack") for more carrying capacity. It might be a good idea to craft a [pickaxe](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Pickaxe "Pickaxe"), and mine [boulders](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Boulder "Boulder"), as [flint](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Flint "Flint") can be scarce on the first island. When gathering trees for a Campfire, it is advised to chop down the tallest trees, as they give off the most wood and the seeds for planting new trees. If one chops down a [Palm Tree](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Palm_Tree "Palm Tree"), the [Coconuts](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Coconut "Coconut") can be hacked open with a [Machete](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Machete "Machete") for [Halved Coconuts](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Halved_Coconut "Halved Coconut"), an edible food item. Jungle Trees can be chopped to obtain [Jungle Tree Seeds](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Jungle_Tree_Seed "Jungle Tree Seed"), which can be used for fuel for a fire, [Eggs](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Egg "Egg"), and [Bananas](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Banana "Banana"); however, be aware that [Snakes](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Snake "Snake") may spawn.
## Day 2-5\[ \]

[](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/1/18/GreatOpenSea.png/revision/latest?cb=20151213013917)
Wilson rowing on the great open sea
For second or third day, craft a Machete [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/0/0c/Machete.png/revision/latest?cb=20151206115319) from the tools [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/4/4d/Icon_Tools.png/revision/latest?cb=20210625093434) tab. Use the Machete to hack down four [Bamboo Patches](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Bamboo_Patch "Bamboo Patch") and three [Viney Bushes](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Viney_Bush "Viney Bush") to make a [Raft](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Raft "Raft") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/0/08/Raft.png/revision/latest?cb=20151206122909) from Nautical[](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/d/d0/Icon_Nautical.png/revision/latest?cb=20210625093038) tab, the wood raft could also be used if the player doesn't have a machete. Be careful when hacking viney bushes for the raft as snakes have a very big chance to spawn and attacking a snake almost always causes more to spawn.
Deploy the boat onto water and right click to start sailing. One can find [Seaweed](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Seaweed "Seaweed") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/1/13/Seaweed.png/revision/latest?cb=20151204161031) in shallow [oceans](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Ocean "Ocean"), which is a decent source of food in beginning days. Islands usually spawn in a ring, therefore the player should always sail on the edge between the shallow and the deep ocean. Most players only sail in one direction or in the direction of the waves, this is very dangerous in the first few days and it is strongly recommended to keep materials for a spare boat/boat repair kit. When one reaches medium and deep oceans, be sure to sail on the waves for a speed boost. This is accomplished by sailing into the wave from behind towards the direction wave is going. Be sure to avoid going into the waves the wrong direction, as this will add [Wetness](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Wetness "Wetness") to the player and cause the boat to lose durability. If one is skilled at sailing, after much practice, one could 'compromise' with the waves. This is accomplished by going in one direction the wave is going, as waves do not go in just one direction, they go North-East, South-East, South-West, and North-West, however barely they could be. The Raft is superior to a [Log Raft](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Log_Raft "Log Raft") because of it's speed, although both the Raft and Log Raft have the same durability, 150.
Tips:
- Explore the seas in circles near the discovered islands in case of need of landing. Searching far off, and finding no land for long time can lead to death.
- Pay attention to the color of the waters, as it indicates depth, meaning land, coral reef, tar, etc. can be nearby.
- Resources such as Twigs and [Gold Nuggets](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Gold_Nugget "Gold Nugget") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/c/cf/Gold_Nugget.png/revision/latest?cb=20121216095045) are scarcer in *Shipwrecked*, so one may have to sail out to farther islands if one was unlucky. It is possible to spawn on an island without any particular resources, such as Flint.
- The character's spawning island will not have [Gold Nuggets](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Gold_Nugget "Gold Nugget") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/c/cf/Gold_Nugget.png/revision/latest?cb=20121216095045), although some players have reported sightings of gold containing boulders.
- Be wary when chopping down [Palm Trees](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Tree/Palm_Tree "Tree/Palm Tree"). [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/2/2f/Coconut.png/revision/latest?cb=20151206195517) [Coconuts](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Coconut "Coconut") can fall onto the player's head, doing 20 HP damage each. It is possible for many coconuts to fall in a row.
- If hunting mobs such as [Spiders](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Spider "Spider") or [Monkeys](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Monkey "Monkey") for meat, be wary that [Crabbits](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Crabbit "Crabbit") will eat any food items they see on the ground.
- [Poison](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Poison "Poison") is a new game mechanic, where players will slowly lose health [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/6/6f/Health_Meter.png/revision/latest?cb=20190617114634) and sanity [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/2/2f/Sanity_Meter.png/revision/latest?cb=20190617114749) for 3 days if [Anti Venom](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Anti_Venom "Anti Venom") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/8/85/Anti_Venom.png/revision/latest?cb=20151206163424) is not consumed. As poison progressively worsen over time, it is very deadly. Poison is inflicted by yellow monsters such as poisonous [Snakes](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Snake "Snake"), [Stink Rays](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Stink_Ray "Stink Ray") and Poison Fart Clouds from [Poisonous Holes](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Poisonous_Hole "Poisonous Hole").
- [Crocodogs](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Crocodog "Crocodog") are the oceanic equivalent of Hound attacks and will similarly occur every 3–13 days. Before an attack, the player character will comment on their approach (*e.g.*, Wilson says "Did you hear that?"), growling can be heard, and the music will change. Unless the player is well equipped to fight at sea, it is better to kite them to an island shore and fight them on land. Better yet, luring them to a school of [Bottlenose Ballphins](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Bottlenose_Ballphin "Bottlenose Ballphin") or a herd of [Water Beefalo](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Water_Beefalo "Water Beefalo") can allow the player to avoid fighting them altogether. Caution is advised when fishing at [shoals](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Shoal "Shoal"), dropping meat item into the oceans and farming fish such as [Bottlenose Ballphins](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Bottlenose_Ballphin "Bottlenose Ballphin"), as Crocodogs (or [Sea Hounds](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Sea_Hounds "Sea Hounds")) may appear without warning at those times.
- Be sure to create base farther away from the shore of islands, as incoming tides will increase character's wetness and put out Campfires.
- Make sure to craft an emergency [Log Raft](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Log_Raft "Log Raft") if one decides to go on a long expedition without a [Boat Repair Kit](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Boat_Repair_Kit "Boat Repair Kit"), so that when the boat is at very low durability, new log raft can be launched to hop on it.
- The player may hammer the [Debris](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Debris "Debris") for some extra [Logs](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Logs "Logs") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/e/e0/Log.png/revision/latest?cb=20121216102306) and a free [Boat Repair Kit](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Boat_Repair_Kit "Boat Repair Kit") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/e/ee/Boat_Repair_Kit.png/revision/latest?cb=20151206131650). The player may also hammer [Crates](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Crate "Crate") found randomly, as those will drop random assorted goods, such as refined materials and, more rarely, a can of ["Ballphin Free" Tuna](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/%22Ballphin_Free%22_Tuna "\"Ballphin Free\" Tuna"), which cannot perish until opened.
- Three new sources of [Gears](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Gears "Gears") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/7/7d/Gears.png/revision/latest?cb=20130916211413) in *Shipwrecked* are a new Chess biome set piece (has a tiny island with a Teleportato, shallow oceans, and coral) with [Floaty Boaty Knights](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Floaty_Boaty_Knight "Floaty Boaty Knight"), which drop Gears. The others are [Chests](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Chest "Chest") (from [X Marks the Spot](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/X_Marks_the_Spot "X Marks the Spot")), [Sandy Piles](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Sandy_Pile "Sandy Pile") or from the [Slot Machine](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Slot_Machine "Slot Machine").
## Day 5+\[ \]
Once a suitable island is found (medium or bigger), with enough food to sustain hunger, with/without [Ice Boxes](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Ice_Box "Ice Box") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/9/90/Ice_Box.png/revision/latest?cb=20130115190809), place down the following (likely in order):
- [Fire Pit](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Fire_Pit "Fire Pit") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/3/33/Fire_Pit.png/revision/latest?cb=20121216093816) and/or [Chiminea](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Chiminea "Chiminea") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/c/c6/Chiminea.png/revision/latest?cb=20151207174751) ([](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/3/30/Icon_Light.png/revision/latest?cb=20210625093003) tab), fire pit isn't recommended if placing near the shore or during the monsoon season as puddles and floods will extinguish it.
- [Science Machine](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Science_Machine "Science Machine") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/2/25/Science_Machine.png/revision/latest?cb=20121216142540) ([](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/e/e7/Icon_Science.png/revision/latest?cb=20210625093124) tab)
- [Alchemy Engine](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Alchemy_Engine "Alchemy Engine") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/7/7e/Alchemy_Engine.png/revision/latest?cb=20140414111513) ([](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/e/e7/Icon_Science.png/revision/latest?cb=20210625093124) tab) (science machine may be hammered down after creating this)
- [Crock Pots](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Crock_Pot "Crock Pot") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/d/d2/Crock_Pot.png/revision/latest?cb=20121215214206) ([](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/7/72/Icon_Food.png/revision/latest?cb=20210625092935) tab)
- [Chests](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Chest "Chest") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/b/b3/Chest.png/revision/latest?cb=20121216162445) ([](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/6/6f/Icon_Structures.png/revision/latest?cb=20210625093357) tab)
Tips:
- An [Ice Maker 3000](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Ice_Maker_3000 "Ice Maker 3000") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/a/ac/Ice_Maker_3000.png/revision/latest?cb=20160204190655) ([](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/e/e7/Icon_Science.png/revision/latest?cb=20210625093124) tab) can practically make hunger [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/4/48/Hunger_Meter.png/revision/latest?cb=20190617114410) a non-issue when combined with [Fish Farms](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Fish_Farm "Fish Farm"), a tree farm, snake-spawning [Viney Bushes](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Viney_Bush "Viney Bush") or [Spider Dens](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Spider_Den "Spider Den"). It can be used to easily craft [Meatballs](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Meatballs "Meatballs"), one of the better [Crock Pot](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Crock_Pot "Crock Pot") recipes in the game. Its building requirements are fairly low; one [Thermal Stone](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Thermal_Stone "Thermal Stone") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/f/ff/Thermal_Stone.png/revision/latest?cb=20130328133713), five [Bamboo](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Bamboo "Bamboo"), and two [Electrical Doodads](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Electrical_Doodad "Electrical Doodad").
- The player should try to gather materials for a [Row Boat](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Row_Boat "Row Boat") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/6/6d/Row_Boat.png/revision/latest?cb=20151206122817) or [Cargo Boat](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Cargo_Boat "Cargo Boat"). A [Boat Torch](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Boat_Torch "Boat Torch") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/6/68/Boat_Torch.png/revision/latest?cb=20151206125616) and [Thatch Sail](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Thatch_Sail "Thatch Sail") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/b/ba/Thatch_Sail.png/revision/latest?cb=20151206125927) are also recommended at the minimum, or better, a [Boat Lantern](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Boat_Lantern "Boat Lantern") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/3/3f/Boat_Lantern.png/revision/latest?cb=20151206125607) and [Cloth Sail](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Cloth_Sail "Cloth Sail") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/7/7e/Cloth_Sail.png/revision/latest?cb=20151206122803). [Snakeskin Sails](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Snakeskin_Sail "Snakeskin Sail") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/0/07/Snakeskin_Sail.png/revision/latest?cb=20151217201013) are also recommended, as they have the highest durability of all sails but have their speed between a Thatch and a Cloth Sail. Sails can be repaired with a [Sewing Kit](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Sewing_Kit "Sewing Kit").
- Players may continue to mine, explore, or search for the [Yaarctopus](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Yaarctopus "Yaarctopus") (found rarely in [Coral Reef](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Coral_Reef "Coral Reef") biomes, which generates in shallow oceans), and exchange raw fish and trinkets for [Dubloons](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Dubloons "Dubloons") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/c/cd/Dubloons.png/revision/latest?cb=20151206113845), which can be refined into Gold Nuggets at a Science Machine. The [Yaarctopus](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Yaarctopus "Yaarctopus") may also be given specific *Shipwrecked* Crock Pot recipes for specific boat items, such as a [Thatch Sail](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Thatch_Sail "Thatch Sail") or a [Spyglass](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Spyglass "Spyglass") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/c/c1/Spyglass.png/revision/latest?cb=20151206125853).
- The player may come across the [Slot Machine](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Slot_Machine "Slot Machine") on a beach, and using it will cost one [Dubloon](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Dubloons "Dubloons") and 5 Sanity [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/2/2f/Sanity_Meter.png/revision/latest?cb=20190617114749). The player has a 71.4% chance to roll three carrots, or a 14.3% chance to roll three skulls or three gold nuggets. Three carrots will spawn various natural items, three skulls will spawn enemies (three [Snakes](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Snake "Snake"), or [Spiders](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Spider "Spider"), or [Hounds](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Hound "Hound"), or five [Poison Mosquitoes](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Poison_Mosquito "Poison Mosquito")), while three gold nuggets will spawn rare items. Loot from the Slot Machine can vary, from common items such as Twigs and Cut Grass [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/d/d5/Cut_Grass.png/revision/latest?cb=20121215214919), or rare loot such as [Thulecite Suit](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Thulecite_Suit "Thulecite Suit") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/1/15/Thulecite_Suit.png/revision/latest?cb=20130814164449) or [Obsidian](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Obsidian "Obsidian") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/2/23/Obsidian.png/revision/latest?cb=20151207201407).
- Craft some equipment for self-protection, including a Machete or [Spear](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Spear "Spear") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/4/4f/Spear.png/revision/latest?cb=20121216143213). Seashells protect from physical poison attacks while Limestone allows tanking at the cost of speed. ([Seashell Suit](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Seashell_Suit "Seashell Suit") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/3/39/Seashell_Suit.png/revision/latest?cb=20151207231158) at the minimum, or a [Limestone Suit](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Limestone_Suit "Limestone Suit") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/9/9f/Limestone_Suit.png/revision/latest?cb=20151207174959), both from the [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/b/bb/Icon_Fight.png/revision/latest?cb=20210625092905) tab).
- Having a [Life Jacket](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Life_Jacket "Life Jacket") in inventory can come in handy in case of emergency of death on the waters. If its equipped before the player's boat is destroyed, the player will be dropped on the closest island with enough materials to make a raft.
- Around day 16, players may create a [Meat Effigy](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Meat_Effigy "Meat Effigy") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/2/2e/Meat_Effigy.png/revision/latest?cb=20121216110233) (-30 from max health [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/6/6f/Health_Meter.png/revision/latest?cb=20190617114634) for each one built), for [Wilson](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Wilson "Wilson") (shaving his [Beard](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Beard "Beard")) or for others, get their sanity [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/2/2f/Sanity_Meter.png/revision/latest?cb=20190617114749) to below 80 and kill [Beardlings](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Beardling "Beardling") for [Beard Hair](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Beard_Hair "Beard Hair") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/7/79/Beard_Hair.png/revision/latest?cb=20121215144145). If available, always bring a [Life Giving Amulet](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Life_Giving_Amulet "Life Giving Amulet") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/f/f9/Life_Giving_Amulet.png/revision/latest?cb=20130626170901) along. A [Piratihatitator](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Piratihatitator "Piratihatitator") will be needed to build a Meat Effigy and a Life Giving Amulet.
- The common trend is that most players think they need a base asap for safety, this is not true because there are multiple islands and some have specific biomes with specific materials, the player should almost always be nomadic with a small base ( science machine or better, fire pit/chiminea and a few chests. Extras such as ice maker 3000 or farms can be considered) never expect to settle somewhere permanently like in reign of giants or the vanilla game.
## Further preparations\[ \]
### Hurricane Season\[ \]
[Hurricane Season](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Hurricane_Season "Hurricane Season") is the second season in *Shipwrecked.* By default, Hurricane Season begins on day 21 and ends on day 37. Seagulls will visit land, unlike in other seasons, where they can only be found at sea. Hurricane Season's hazards are [Wetness](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Wetness "Wetness") (caused by constant rain), strong winds (slowing players that walk against the wind, pushing items left on the ground, and destroys walls), very frequent lightning (every 5–20 seconds), lack of food caused by [Seagulls](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Seagull "Seagull") eating the [limpets](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Limpets "Limpets") off the rock, lack of [seeds](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Seeds "Seeds") due to the other [birds](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Birds "Birds") not appearing in this season, and the [Sealnado](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Sealnado "Sealnado").
It is more dangerous to go out sailing or island exploring during the night or even late into Hurricane Season, as the strong winds make any non-wind resistant light source (such as [Campfires](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Campfire "Campfire") and [Torches](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Torch "Torch")) difficult to keep alight. As the season progresses, the ocean will become choppier with more and more [Big Waves](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Waves#Big_Waves "Waves"), which will cause boat damage and wetness regardless of the direction the player hits it. [Hail](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Hail "Hail") also falls during Hurricane Season rainstorms. As of the [Eye of the Tiger Shark](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Shipwrecked#January_14th_-_.22Eye_of_the_Tiger_Shark.22_update.5B6.5D "Shipwrecked") update, hail is no longer a valid Crock Pot filler, but it can still be kept in an [Ice Box](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Ice_Box "Ice Box") indefinitely, extinguish fires, or be refined into [Ice](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Ice "Ice") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/7/77/Ice.png/revision/latest?cb=20140711022650) from four Hail.
Tips:
- [Lightning Rods](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Lightning_Rod "Lightning Rod") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/6/62/Lightning_Rod.png/revision/latest?cb=20130328123937) should be built as soon as possible due to the frequency of lightning strikes.
- Any items left on the ground will be pushed in the direction of the wind and will likely end up in the ocean. Some items can be retrieved from the water's edge while others will sink and be irretrievably lost. Placing items in [Chests](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Chest "Chest") prevents them from being pushed.
- A [Chiminea](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Chiminea "Chiminea") is highly recommended, as they are not affected by strong winds or rain. [Campfires](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Campfire "Campfire") and [Fire Pits](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Fire_Pit "Fire Pit") will extinguish much faster in rain and strong winds.
- A [Snakeskin Hat](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Snakeskin_Hat "Snakeskin Hat") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/d/db/Snakeskin_Hat.png/revision/latest?cb=20151207202508) and [Snakeskin Jacket](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Snakeskin_Jacket "Snakeskin Jacket") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/a/ad/Snakeskin_Jacket.png/revision/latest?cb=20151207202500) set ([](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/f/fc/Icon_Dress.png/revision/latest?cb=20210625092759) tab) will fully protect the player from [Wetness](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Wetness "Wetness") and lightning.
- Having a [Palm Leaf Hut](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Palm_Leaf_Hut "Palm Leaf Hut") near a fire can almost completely negate [Wetness](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Wetness "Wetness") during this season.
- Thunder can be heard before a storm hits, giving the player some time to prepare or return home if at sea.
### Monsoon Season\[ \]
[Monsoon Season](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Monsoon_Season "Monsoon Season") is the third season in *Shipwrecked.* By default, the season begins on day 37 and ends on day 58, with the rains starting on day 41. Monsoon Season's hazards are heavy, constant rain and [Flooding](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Flooding "Flooding"), although lightning is far less frequent and strong winds never occur.
Small puddles form in the beginning of the season and become larger with each rainstorm, covering land and quickly inducing [Wetness](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Wetness "Wetness") to a player standing in them. The tides will also encroach further onto land during this season, which, combined with growing puddles, could cause an entire island to become flooded. Puddles will also completely disable any crafting stations or machines (such as the [Ice Maker 3000](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Ice_Maker_3000 "Ice Maker 3000")) if they spread to the tile that the structure is placed on. This makes floods a very serious threat as large puddles can render entire bases unusable until the season is over. All normal [bees](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Bees "Bees") become [Killer Bees](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Killer_Bees "Killer Bees") (even ones in [Bee Boxes](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Bee_Box "Bee Box")), and [Crabbit Dens](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Crabbit_Den "Crabbit Den") close up for the season. [Poison Mosquitoes](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Poison_Mosquito "Poison Mosquito") will spawn from puddles and can be a constant nuisance, though they do have a 25% chance to drop [Venom Glands](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Venom_Gland "Venom Gland"), the rare ingredient in [Anti Venom](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Anti_Venom "Anti Venom").
Tips:
- [Sandbags](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Sandbag "Sandbag") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/9/9e/Sand_Bag.png/revision/latest?cb=20151206122923) ([](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/6/6f/Icon_Structures.png/revision/latest?cb=20210625093357) tab) can be used to prevent flooding from puddles. If placed in the middle of a new puddle, the puddle will no longer expand, though this can be difficult to do later in the season as puddles grow. Surrounding your base with sandbags will also prevent flooding.
- To prevent puddles from spawning in base, replace [turfs](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Turfs "Turfs") with man-made flooring (such as [Wooden Flooring](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Wooden_Flooring "Wooden Flooring")).
- A Snakeskin Hat and Snakeskin Jacket set ([](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/f/fc/Icon_Dress.png/revision/latest?cb=20210625092759) tab) will fully protect the player from [Wetness](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Wetness "Wetness") when traversing flooded areas.
- A [Brain of Thought](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Brain_of_Thought "Brain of Thought") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/9/9f/Brain_of_Thought.png/revision/latest?cb=20151207230439) ([](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/f/fc/Icon_Dress.png/revision/latest?cb=20210625092759) tab) will allow the player to prototype items anywhere without a crafting station, and may be essential when Monsoon Season flooding renders crafting stations unusable. Its recipe is one [Brainy Matter](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Brainy_Matter "Brainy Matter") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/4/4c/Brainy_Matter.png/revision/latest?cb=20151207224352), one [Jellyfish](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Jellyfish "Jellyfish") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/2/22/Jellyfish.png/revision/latest?cb=20151206224532), and two [Ropes](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Rope "Rope") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/b/b4/Rope.png/revision/latest?cb=20121216142803) at an Alchemy Engine.
- [Poison Mosquitoes](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Poison_Mosquito "Poison Mosquito") may be a constant nuisance during the season, especially if a puddle spawned near one's base. They are fast and inflict poison from physical attacks. However, they can be easily defeated by equipping a melee weapon and simply holding the attack key while they are near. They will target you once in range and move in to attack, but will not be able to sting you before your first hit stun-locks them. They will die in 3 hits from a Spear. However, one sting will poison the player, so it is still recommended to equip a [Seashell Suit](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Seashell_Suit "Seashell Suit") or [Horned Helmet](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Horned_Helmet "Horned Helmet") if spending large amounts of time near puddles or when engaging more than one mosquito.
- The [Sharkitten Den](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Sharkitten_Den "Sharkitten Den") will open up and [Sharkittens](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Sharkitten "Sharkitten") will spawn. Going near them, or attacking them causes [Tiger Shark](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Tiger_Shark "Tiger Shark") to spawn and attack the player. Tiger Shark also can spawn while sailing during any season, but has a higher chance during Monsoon Season. The Tiger Shark spawned without going near its den will not attack the player without getting attacked first, but it will attack everything else in the water and the player can be caught in the cross fire. It should be noted that Tiger Sharks and Sharkittens drop [Shark Gills](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Shark_Gills "Shark Gills"), one of the ingredients required to craft the [Dumbrella](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Dumbrella "Dumbrella"), one of the best headgear items in the game.
### Dry Season\[ \]
[Dry Season](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Dry_Season "Dry Season") is the fourth season in *Shipwrecked* and is equivalent to [Summer](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Summer "Summer"). By default, it begins on day 58 and ends on day 74. Dry Season's hazards are [Overheating](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Overheating "Overheating") and constant [volcanic eruptions](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Volcano#Eruptions "Volcano"), which launch falling meteors into the air. Flooded areas from Monsoon Season will dry up within the first few days of the season.
The player will get three warning tremors half of a day before an eruption. When an eruption occurs, meteors will rain down from the sky, causing massive damage to anything they hit. If they hit land, they'll destroy nearly anything they hit and set anything flammable on fire. If they land in water, a ring of [Big Waves](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Waves#Big_Waves "Waves") will spawn from their point of impact. After the eruption is over, the air will be filled with ash that can make things difficult to see.
As the season goes on, the intensity and frequency of eruptions will increase. Meteors will fall every two seconds after one another, and two eruptions can occur in a row, especially during the very end of the season.
Tips:
- Similar to the edges of the screen turning icy and crackling sounds playing before freezing takes effect in the base game, overheating is preceded by the edges of the screen turning yellow and a simmering sound playing. Immediately take precautions to prevent overheating if the warning sign appears.
- Trees can help with sudden overheating in the early days of the season. However, later in the season, trees alone will not provide enough cooling.
- An [Endothermic Fire Pit](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Endothermic_Fire_Pit "Endothermic Fire Pit") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/7/71/Endothermic_Fire_Pit.png/revision/latest?cb=20140412084347) and one or two [Thermal Stones](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Thermal_Stone "Thermal Stone") can help prevent overheating, so keeping a secondary chilled stone in a [Backpack](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Backpack "Backpack") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/b/b1/Backpack.png/revision/latest?cb=20121215143827) or is advised, although if the thermal stone heats up, this could consequently heat up the player faster. A [Floral Shirt](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Floral_Shirt "Floral Shirt") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/f/f7/Floral_Shirt.png/revision/latest?cb=20140417195927) is also recommended as *Shipwrecked* makes it far easier to craft and is also available year round. One may also bring along a bunch of [Ice](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Ice "Ice") if desired (from an [Ice Maker 3000](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Ice_Maker_3000 "Ice Maker 3000")), to help with sudden overheating. [Chilled Amulet](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Chilled_Amulet "Chilled Amulet") [](https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/dont-starve-game/images/9/92/Chilled_Amulet.png/revision/latest?cb=20130626095619) is great if [Piratihatitator](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Piratihatitator "Piratihatitator") has been made and a [Blue Gem](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Blue_Gem "Blue Gem") is at hand. Also, a [Straw Hat](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Straw_Hat "Straw Hat") can help slow overheating to give enough time to run to a tree.
- A [Dumbrella](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Dumbrella "Dumbrella") can practically negate overheating concerns, but crafting it requires [Shark Gills](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Shark_Gills "Shark Gills") from a [Tiger Shark](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Tiger_Shark "Tiger Shark") or [Sharkitten](https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Sharkitten "Sharkitten").
- Sailing during eruptions can be a relatively safe way of dealing with them. Sailing with a Row Boat or better is advised, with a Boat Lantern and Cloth Sail, as the increase in speed will allow the player to sufficiently dodge the meteors. The lantern will be needed if eruptions continue into the night.
- Since meteors are a major hazard, it is recommended to either inhabit a barren island or go sailing when eruptions occur. Sailing may be easier, since the player has adequate speed to dodge the meteors. Having a large expanse of shallow oceans is highly recommended; the lighter color of the water makes the metero shadows easier to see and there are no normal waves to contend with in addition to the Big Waves caused by the meteors.
