You’ll come across plenty of naturally occurring food, but it’s not nearly as effective as the health boost and Em excesso perks you can get from learning to cook.

Image via Pugstorm Note: The only additional condition for successfully farming monsters is for you not to be on the same screen while the monsters are spawning.

Salvage and Repair Station is used throughout progress to repair durability loss on all gear. Or scrap it for materials.

I recommend taking the "Miner" Background so you start with a Copper Pickaxe — you'll have to do a lot of digging at the beginning!

You will spawn into the world on top of a Waypoint and in front of the Core. Surrounding the Core are three statues.

Sure, Core Keeper horrified me when I knocked a wall down and a bunch of squirming, squeaking larvae jumped in my face.

The patch introduces several balancing improvements. Bosses now drop at least one piece of equipment or a weapon.

Excellent game. As you probably know, it's basically a top-down version of Terraria or Minecraft, but in my opinion vastly superior to both. Minecraft has hideous visuals, while Core Keeper is beautiful to look at. Terraria has the infuriating issue of being CONSTANTLY bombarded by enemy attacks, always preventing you from doing what you are trying to do. Core Keeper, conversely, is much more respectful of the player, typically allowing you to engage enemies on your own terms. It's also easier to prevent enemies spawning where you don't want them to be. So you have the freedom to build a house, craft items, farm animals and plants, Core Keeper Gameplay and cook food without being constantly bothered (unless you set up your base in a spot with a lot of enemy spawn tiles, but you can remove those to "cleanse" it anyway as mentioned above).

It’s also a good idea to take the time and fully clear out areas, so the light can actually reach all the dim corners and not get cut off by random chunks of wall.
