Eating berries and cactus sap only slows down the water drain. So many of them are low level that a pack of Morleys or Doeds can easily take them out.There are cactus in the area which on this map have the ability to refill your water meter by just hitting them with the pick. A pick is quickly crafted and with the first three levelups, a hatchet, spears, and some thatch clothes which offer some thermal protection.Ĭontinuing down towards the canyon area, I am able to obtain some hide from a dead raptor. Running is out of the question as that drains water quickly in this heat. There is also a pond that is free from Karpos in the spot I am heading as well as several metal nodes close by. The reason, that area is sheltered from the heat. The first task at hand is to get out of this area and down to the Southern Canyon before the afternoon heat arrives. I could find getting myself killed before I am able to get started on this map. Wonderful, I even see a pack of raptors out hunting as well. Thankfully, it doesn’t agro on me as it keeps chasing the Morellotop. I am already getting the “You are hot” warning as I am nearly run over by a Morellotop that is being chased by a Direwolf. Like all the starting points on this map, I spawn in with no engrams other then the default. This one, located near the Green Obelisk, is one of those that is not so good which I will soon explain why. While I have spawned in this area before, there are several spawn points for this location, some good, some not so good. My character Desert Pete is spawned in at the first easy point on this brutal map. There are tricks one needs to be aware of for survival on this map such as waterskins are worthless, one can pick wood from the little pine trees, and you get rehydrated by harvesting a cactus with a pick or hatchet, drinking from a water seep, or from a blue Jug Bug, and building made from wood, stone, or metal are ovens in the daytime.
Still, this is not a map for a first time player. Much of that has since been re-balanced especially being able to find logical places where one can shelter from the afternoon heat blast. There were just too many predators out there in the starter zone as well as hanging around all of the sources for water. The map seems to be more well balanced as far as the wild dinos that spawn in from what it was playing it in the past. Settings Single player with taming, harvesting, leveling set at 3X. (Not to be confused with The Story of Scorched Earth which is a separate role playing adventure.)
