same feeling on my side. Right now I'm spending 80% of my game time fishing and triyng not to die from salvation. Only animals I successfuly trapped so far were a few hares.

Active fishing is extremely difficult, I don't recommend it. If you can get your hands on a couple of nets, find a river with some rapids and set them there and check/reset them every evening.

If you're starting in spring, it is always going to be tough starting out. Not much game, and no harvestable plants. Pretty much your only chance for survival is to land a lucky kill, otherwise you'll be playing a constant game of catch-up with your hunger bar and have no time to improve your situation.

The "Game Course" tutorial can be a real help here, providing you with a few edibles early on. Only enough to get you through a day or two, but that may be enough to dig yourself out.

I started in Spring, but the only reason I survived was due to picking the Fisherman starting scenario. Having two nets set at all times basically ensures I never run out of food for long. Some might consider the scenario cheating, but I don't honestly think a 16+ year old person was just plopped into the wilderness with no equipment and no means of survival. Take whatever you can get.

Failing that, Summer might be an easier start.

Active fishing is more like somethign to do as a pastime, really xD You'll starve to death more than you get fish.

Yeah, it's pretty much just something to do if you want to kill time and maybe get something out of it.

Dammit, all my furs turn out too low quality to trade. How am I supposed to buy all the different axes I need for building a cabin?

Not if you have fishing (cooking may be a factor too) on a decent level. I am staying at well-fed with the fish I get out of the lake next to my home (well, WIP home).

How high is your fishing skill? I've never got it incredibly high, so I've not hit that stage. Usually I get just about enough to survive, and don't really have time to do anything but fish.

Depending on how far you have gotten, just trade them for smoked/dried foods or make cords so you can smoke your meat and survive. get a large kill and trade it for a tool.
I had to trade all my harsh squirrel furs for food in the start to manage.
And just so you know, different furs have different prices, Bear fur being the best for the player but not very valuable.

[DJ]

I can't trade them for anything because everyone expects some quality in the trade And I can't smoke because it's late May. I guess I'll just save them for the winter and use them to smoke meat then.

I've personally never had any problem hunting or fishing, maybe because I have a character with high fishing, tracking and stealth, and a small frame. All it really takes to hunt is patience and some javelins. As long as you don't lose track of your prey, you'll eventually tire it out or wound it enough to run up and finish it.

Can't you make fur clothes from them and trade the clothes? I think that makes them more valuable.

I haven't played the latest version though, so things may have changed.

Is there a quality even below harsh? I think you should be able to smoke at any time though.

Ouch, forgot that climbing could be so dangerous even at "skilled" , go 2 successive falls from 17 meters while trying to climb a tree to see if i could notice any kind of prey around.

Since that i'm crawling around the world with leg injuries (and a fracture in the hip), i got helped by a nearby friendly village shaman, but he can't do much.
I hope the guy will get better, but it looks rather bad.

[Ivefan]

Hope you got a large food storage while trying to heal

[Robsoie]

I have a lake and my fishing nets near my shelter.
Though i guess moving in there and back must not really help healing, if anything.
edit : after moving a minimum for several days in my shelter, i'm "back on my feet" , my bruises are apparently healed, but i still have that fractured hip.
Odd how i can be back on my feet then.
