OK, I just need to rant this out. WHY THE FLYING FUCK IS IT NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE TO FIND DAMNED SMALL STONES.

I just downloaded the game, seems like standard survival fare. I need 2 small stones and a branch to make a stone ax, great that should be right at the start of the game, since lacking those VERY BASIC THINGS makes a survival crafting game stupidly difficult. Imagine my surprise, I've found literally 0 small stones. Oh sure, there's plenty of breakable stones, and plenty of texture objects that look like stones, but none of the VERY SPECIFIC STONES needed to actually start getting resources going.

Edit: OK, on the third attempt after 1 crash and a wandering into a parasite camp and dying, I managed to get a lucky spawn and get a second small stone right outside the starting cave. Of course, as I was starting to craft I had to ask myself, why is crafting early things so odd to me. Like, a simple lean-to (the hunters camp thing) made to last really shouldn't take like 8 full logs, splitting them would make sense for the roof at least. Then, why does a fire require long branches? The length of pieces in the fire are more the size of the regular branches, and all the trees I cut down only dropped (from what I can see) small branches and logs, but no long branches. Long branches seem to exclusively drop from the more brush like things than trees, when I'd expect to get small branches from brush and long branches from trees. There's also the odd thing that the player character can carry a whole damn log, but seemingly started struggling when I picked up 4 long branches.
Craft pickaxe first. It breaks big rocks into small rocks (for firepit and such), which can then be broken into small stones to make the knife, axe, and more.

Log breaks down into half log, which then breaks down further into long branches.

Frankly, this game is a better The Forest in some aspects lol. Parasite powers are nice. Just a note to any starting out: make the Totem (it requires a female head) as soon as you have a base.

Questions for anyone:
1. Is the slave smelter the only way to get iron ingots?
2. Does the slave mark only work when carrying a slave? My dumbass can't read, you need a male head and a branch to make a mark.
3. Anyone know how to fix the item detection skill? It's not highlighting items anymore. Will come back, it's random bug.

i'm sorry, i'm a bit confused at what you're asking about.
OK no problem. the guy has a aboves, his rig does exist. the ryzen 3050. its because the 3050 = rtx-3050.

heres something that will through you off very much, my laptop the configuration it has (now get ready for this to blow your mind) its a "AMD Ryzen 7 8845Hs w/ Radeon 780M Graphics + RTX - 4070". :lepew:

So i understood what he meant wen he expressed what his rig was running i just didn't catch it till after i commented. my bad for confusing you bro didn't mean to. But he definitely need to upgrade that 3050 its crap when trying to run present and future games.
