So…creatures are really hard to kill. Dying about 6 times to try to kill one creature, if I can find it again after I die. Using a hammer. I start out low health, need food, but can’t kill the creature to obtain food. Vicious cycle. How do I actually get food? Quest says to get food too, but I’m really struggling. Oh yeah, I killed a creature and all I got was a bone.
trees. axe the leaves that drop starberries. also many plants on the ground drop food. If you eat raw meat it will kill you faster if your health is low.
also which planet are you on, I am presuming a hostile one. Because the easy ones don’t have attacking spitters. You really need to doge alot with a spitter if using a hammer, stay to its side. also if you just run from the spitters you can get away. Don’t go for those or wildstocks for food. you will die at first levels
wildstocks charge you, if they miss they instantly run a second time. Thats your chance to shoot or run.

So…I found a strawberry. Thing is, that’s just increasing my stamina, not my health.
Also shoveling soil will get you lots of Earthyams, which can be eaten raw. Plus you can gather Peaty Soil, which you will need A LOT of to fuel machines until you can get coal.
Yep, max out your stamina, and your health bar refills 
I need to correct all I said. Food really only brings max stam up to a point where you get a tick of health every 5 secs. You need to eat and hide for a while, until later when you make or buy healing crafted items.
Raw meat still kills you.
it seems like a better name for em…lol
I’m on a non-hostile world but I’m not set up for combat.
I “hunt” by shooting at a non-spitting critter near my base to aggro him and then running to my balcony where I can shoot him at my leisure.
Not an honorable hunt, but I needed glue and meat.

Yeah I made a slingbow and got some meat. Makes it much easier. Would I be able to use the stone furnace crucible to cook the meat? I noticed eating it raw had a negative effect.
Yes Use wood, coal or peaty soil to fuel the Furnace!

and just for clarification: having high max stamina (90%+, through eating) gives you a reg of 20 per 5 secs, no matter of your max health value. real healing comes only through brewed potions, which need a crafting skill and some mats which are not that common. If you have the cooking skill there are foods that give you a conditon that you max stamia doesn’t drop for a set time. Those are made with earthyams, star berries or simple meet together with some other components you gather or craft (the higher the tier of the food, the more crafting is involved).
if you want to hunt more then just for defense I suggest to level kinetic armor and also agility to be able to dodge more efficient, cuz healing stuff needs effort to be made. avoiding damage is the easier part ^^

Got to level 5 and with slingbow, found everything to be much easier. Also figured out the healing over time stuff, thanks for the help!
