For the win -- see this image see any animals ...no thought so :} OP NOTE: large, flat, open area but with some trees. However, that doesn’t mean you should go outside and cut down some branches or dig up some roots for your pet to start chewing on. In fact, that’s exactly what you shouldn’t do. Tree root chews for dogs are cut from the roots of specific tree species. And these species have special properties that allow them to be chewed safely while adding to the health and well-being of your pet. Their roots are hard, but not as hard as bone, and they won’t damage a pet’s mouth or teeth. In contrast to bone and weaker types of wood, as a dog chews and works on a root chew the edges will slowly become slightly softer in texture. This is due to both the chewing action and the pet’s saliva. Update to Power-Overwhelming I played until year 1 day 25 and i received 4 survivors so now I am at 8, i got the 4 (3?) through expeditions and 1 came in camp on day 6. Weights, shapes and sizes will vary as a root chew is a natural product, but on average the weights for each size are as follows:

Don't forget about Coffee and Tea, though! Coffee gives an energy buff and Tea gives a buff that temporarily halts 100% of pain. These are both useful in their own right.

OUR STORY

When giving your pet anything to chew on supervision is always important and root chews are no exception. You’ll want to keep in mind that unlike a bone or rawhide these actually are not meant to be treats for your dog to eat. While small pieces can be consumed safely, a root chew is really an all-natural chew toy for your dog to work on and slowly grind down over time. Root dog chews are chunks of natural wood, carefully harvested by hand from tree roots and left to dry for months. Only part of the tuber of the root is taken, which then sprouts again to ensure tree growth is not affected. And to preserve the root chew's eco-sustainable pedigree, only a limited number of them are harvested each year. Gave an interesting start. I am playing through it now, but it places you on a strip of land with a satellite crash on the north, a large body of water on the east, a path to some herbivores to the south, and a small plateau/mountain range to the west, which provides some natural defense planning. There seems to be a path up the plateau to the south, plenty of trees on the west as well. OP NOTE: pretty interesting! Nest nearby.

And instead of splintering, small moist wooden fibers will typically crumble off of the edge of the root. These shavings will get on your floor and will need to be swept or vacuumed up. However, they won’t stain, smell, and aren’t dangerous. In fact, they can be ingested safely and pass through your pet without a problem because roots are mainly made up of fiber.

Nowadays, most dog owners have started to realize the importance of choosing more natural products for their pets. There has been a big shift away from chews that aren’t made from plastic, rubber, and even rawhide that uses artificial coloring, preservatives, and flavors. One of the many reasons owners choose root chews for dogs is that they are totally organic. They are only made up of only a single ingredient that’s 100% natural wood. Root chews are ideal for a wide range of different pets. They make a fun and natural choice for helping the average pooch to maintain healthy teeth and gums. But they are also used specifically for teething puppies and also older canines as their teeth may not be as strong. Chews can be an excellent option for aggressive chewers that both keep them busy and stimulated for long periods of time. The tannins naturally present in the roots help to make chews last a bit longer as well. Because they tend to dry out the dog’s mouth usually every thirty minutes or so he will need to take a break and get some water. And this allows the moist edges of the root to harden up again. Odd because it was soooo flat, and the entire map (that I encountered) was the 100% soil. So, one for the farmers :P

Wood chew toys, such as bones or rawhide strips, are generally safe for dogs to consume. However, be aware that small pieces of wood can pose a choking hazard if swallowed by your dog. If you have any doubts about the safety of a particular part of the wood chew toy for your pet, consult with your vet before giving it to them. Is rawhide safe for dogs? Lands you near a big lake and apparently there is a small strip of land in the water you can build on, which can be handy if you want to make a coastal base with chokepoints. As a guide, we give our 8 kilo Terriers a small size root chew. A medium would probably suit a Spaniel. A large may be better for German Shepherds or Staffie type breeds.As an example of the former, Liquid Fuel can only be made by processing Grain in an Oil Press. However, the Fuel Fermentation Breakthrough allows you to use Raw Insect Meat to create Liquid Fuel instead. It drops you on a plateau that looks like a nice place to put a base. Will use it on my next playthrough OP NOTE: 2 reports of an early walk-in, 1 report of no early walk-in

Which actually was a nice location as most resources are in really close proximity to the starting location. Because this is such a unique type of chew, as of now, there are only a handful of brands. Gorilla Chews for dogs for example are one of the most popular and are also well-known for just how big their larger size roots are. Himalayan Ruff Roots are another top choice. Root chews are made from wood and they’re safe for pets. This may sound strange to some dog owners, but it’s the truth. The chews are made from the roots of tree species such as the Java, Arak, and Heath trees. These are known to produce some of the densest wood in the world and therefore will not splinter. Spawns you right next to a massive ravine that could act as a choke point somehow, very hard to work with though. OP NOTE: A challenge perhaps? PLEASE NOTE: It has been suggested to split the list, with guaranteed week 1 survivors taking higher priority, along with the starting breakthroughs. I'm going to attempt this, listing the "preferred" seeds first, while keeping the older suggestions below in case their details move them up in rank, as we don't have full info on all of these yet.Lands you on top of a flat mountaintop, with a total of 7 scavenging points, and if you rush that nest early the moment you spawn with a gun or two, destroy the nest and claim the carbon nanotubes early on as there is ZERO enemies there! Breakthrough: Chitin Synthetic - Hay Cloths - Hay Sausages - Battery Optimizations - Carbon Armor Nice spot on lake, all materials near by. Got another survivor in the first week. OP NOTE: scenic! Possibly 2 extra survivors reported? Stranded: Alien Dawn Cooking is generally a simple process. Build a Campfire or Cook Stove, gather your ingredients, select your Recipe, and assign someone to Cook it -- you'll have a delicious meal in no time! Have you come across a Map Seed that made you go "Oh Wow That's Pretty Sweet!" ?Share it with the community! Try to include when you got an extra survivor in week 1 or not, and what your starting breakthroughs were... All of these Recipes give a +18 Happiness bonus upon consumption. It doesn't matter which one you Cook, so focus on making the one that's easiest to consistently Cook.
