I'm getting tired of rabbit murder. I'm considering some alternate self-sufficient camps.

1) Pigs

Try to chop down 4 pig houses during early exploration and plop two near the chosen camp. Plop some spider dens nearby also and farm those for meat and silk. Feed spider meat to the pigs to make them werepigs and kill them for meat x2 skin x1. Recapitalize the skin into more pig houses. I worked it out that since it takes 4 days for the pigs to spawn, then that means with 100% recapitalization the farm will grow by 25% every 4 days. So in like 30 days you'll go from two houses to ten, which at that point will provide more than enough meat to subsist. It's certainly more tedious than rabbits but it results in abundant silk and pig skin, easy manure, and if you don't kill all the pigs they can help you whoop ass or cut down your forest.

2) Frogs/fish

We discussed this a bit already, but basically it's an approach that requires a very active effort toward hoarding jerky. If you have the fishing rods and frog traps prepared, you can get like 20 fish and 10-15 frogs a day. It's not really passive, but that's like a week's worth of food in a day. Two days and you've got the winter covered. You'll need a lot of drying racks up and running asap though. I haven't fully tried this but I imagine this approach would leave you wanting to set out on road trips during winter, considering gathering food won't be a consideration. On that note I also like the idea of a camp you don't have to constantly stay on top of. Just bust ass for like 3 days and then set out into the world for a few days.
