    Lemme see- Roof (actual roof, not flooring above your head as someone tried to do), bed, fire, deerskin rug (and later wolf and lox hide rugs too, they stack), table, chair, banner. That gets you to comfort 9. Mine is comfort 9 anyway, and i think thats everything I have there. Later, add a...

    Here's my crappy picture of Thor riding by in his chariot arcing lightning around during a storm. (Friend pointed it out to me while we were hunting sea serpents.)

    Well if you go harvest the leviathan and get yourself a harpoon you can farm the serpents... Edit- Logged off for a while, but a good start- full level 1 troll hide gear, level 3 weapons, 5 beehives and 10 surtling cores. Next its on to copper mining. If you come play and go north, watch out...

    Heh, nope, havent had any lag apart from the usual stutter when it saves the world, except when deer from that spawn explode. The boar didnt cause that pause for some reason. No worries, I'm happy enough hunting trolls and looking for a ^%#$ dungeon so I can get bones. Where's the nearest...

    Ok, it appears to be just a local bug- deer and pigs die normally elsewhere, but at the bugged area there were around 15 deer milling around and after killing around a dozen (eventually, took 3-5 arrows each) the place looked like THIS- And each of those is a 20 stack of meat or 50 deer hide...

    Popped on to your server, built my house a bit north from the start point. One thing- please god, whatever you did to the deer and pigs, turn it back or at least down a bit- I get 20 second pauses when the game tries to render 300+ items at once.

    Yup, I wear lvl 1 troll hide when I go sailing etc so I dont really care if I die that much. Exploring I carry a portal kit for getting stuff home or settiing up in interesting places if its a keeper, and if it is I use it to go home and set up a new portal and get another kit to take with me...

    Go sailing around the various coastlines till you find swamp- be aware that swamps that are thin tend to not have any crypts in them, so look for ones that are a bit deeper. Similarly, thin mountians tend to have no obsidian or silver.

    The trees have to creep back from the edges but the branches have no trouble spawning in the middle of huge open spaces even when you can only barely see the nearest remaining trees with a telescope. :P

    I think only the areas that are loaded continue to have stuff happen really. I go and hide in a cleared dungeon right beside my friends base when I go to bed and nothing seems amiss back at our main base when I go back when I wake up. There's some dwarf debris around his place and his pigs are...

    Or just start in the middle so you can plant your supports and then work towards the banks. This is what I did for my first bridge- I dug a canal across a very narrow point at the junction of two continents so I could sail from our badly placed base out to the western sea instead of having to...

    Nope, I barely had bronze and was in the narrow channel seperating our base from another arm of the same continent. I could see land on both sides, and suddenly- SNAAAAAAKEE!!!

    Yup, WW1. Entered service in 1917. First tank with a fully traversable turret. Built a bit over 3000 of them before the end of the war, and several hundred more shortly after. Sold a number of them to various nations, including Japan and China. Still had about 1500 in service at the...
