I just started a new character : an Owl man (custom), with the scenario where I am wounded at start, starting in autumn.
Started with only some shallow cuts, and some minor punctures, lots of bruises.
Hopefully, I spawned near some bushes of crowberries, which I harvested (although, it's nearly not efficient, hunger/time). With ~80 fistfuls of crowberries (at least 10 needed for a meal), I made a stone axe (decent), and then a wooden shovel (decent too).
I explored a bit, climbed at some trees, until I saw a reinder. I went to the spot, chased it a bit, but with my wounds, I was really too slow. So I dug a hole, and made 1 trap pit (with spikes).
At that point, I was starving, but not thirsty (crowberries help against thirst too), so I stopped, and went to try find some other food.
I found some other bushes, milkweed, and other crowberries. I also found some unknown plants, "different flowers", "neat leaves", "fancy flowers". At some point, I tried to eat them, and well, I got poisoned and feverish. I continued to harvest some plants, until I had 50 crowberries (also a ton of plants I don't know, so I can't use), and 50 milkweed. I treated my wounds (the ones that didn't needed bandages) with water and milkweed. I was still at -50% injury, and -10% starving (really hard to fight starving with only some plants). But I had some food that would last enough to continue a bit my trap.
I went to my trap, and luckily, well, there was a reinder in it. It wasn't even a fence trap yet, and he still fell in.
_T_O_T_ (with T trees, _ empty space, and O the trap)
I killed it, with my stone axe (took me 5min RL, my axes skills are crappy), skinned it, and then cut it. I roasted 20 cuts right now, eat some, and slept.
For now, i'm safe about food, but soon enough, the meat will spoil, and I haven't a reliable source of food yet. I haven't found a village yet (and I don't use village to smoke my meat, because I don't feel like it's really the game's spirit).
I will try to not waste the food as much as possible, by roasting it at the last moment. I need to skin and tan the hide too, and make a shelter (lots of rain), with some wood (for fire), because it's already quite cold, and my clothes aren't really good. With the hide, I'll do either some clothes, either some ropes (for arrows/bow), I don't know yet. Also, I'm still under a bad case of poisining (anyone knows how to stop it from getting worse ?)
