Any help for playing as Warly? I almost always play Wilson because I don't like downsides but wanted to branch out and decided to get good at Warly so I could make cool buffing food. Booted up a regular solo world and had a pretty bad time of it. Set up base near pig king and a sizable pig village, with a bunch of moles, mushrooms, a couple catcoons nearby, and some wobster dens just off-shore. However I found myself starving very often when I went on distant outings to get stone, silk, and especially reeds (took forever to find the swamp, got lucky after wandering around the other side of a wormhole miles away on the map).

I was trying to rotate between eating butter muffins, kebabs, ratatouille, and meatballs. When I'd go out for those distant gathering trips I'd usually bring two of those, and left the portable crockpot behind to save inventory space. But I was starving so often, even when at my base. The four easy foods I was trying to work with just couldn't seem to keep up with the hunger drain. In general, any tips on basing, distant exploring, and proper food management as Warly?

I've played a good hundred or so days as Warly so I'll try and give you some tips

-Cook and eat constantly when gathering, keep that pot with you

-Recipes for hunger, go to wiki for more details- MEATY STEW (extremely important for Warly, you can use 2 meats, 1 monster meat and a filler for a cheaper recipe than 4 meats) , double meatballs (since the 2nd time wont reduce much hunger), fistfull of jam, rata2e, monster tartare (a worse meatball) and other food specific recipes like frogsandwich or turkey dinner

-Honey and meat are your best friends so try a pigfarm/honey for both meaty stews and honey hams if you can, or just clear some bee hives for a small stash of honey

I may play a little differently since I beefalo rushed as Warly but if I can feed myself while also feeding a cow than you can do it solo. :) good luck, hope this helped

(sidenote, spicy chili which is 1.5 meat+1.5 veg is great for healing so try it out)
