Establishing a Starter Camp on Emerald Cove

Surveying the Spawn Area

When you spawn onto Emerald Cove Island, take a moment to look around your immediate surroundings before wandering off. The map drops you onto a lush tropical landmass enclosed by open ocean, bordered by sandy beaches and dense green forests. Walk along the edge of the shore and the forest line to locate a flat, visible area that will be easy to find again when returning from exploration.

Gathering Supplies and Building Camp

1. Approach nearby trees in the forest and harvest wood logs with your bare hands.

2. Open your inventory to craft standard wooden planks, a crafting table, and basic wooden tools to speed up resource collection.

3. Gather food from passive animals or vegetation found along the edge of the woods to prevent starvation.

4. Mine stone near exposed surfaces or rocky outcroppings to upgrade to stone tools and craft a furnace.

5. Return to your chosen clearing near the coast or tree line. Place down your crafting station, storage chests, and a bed to set your spawn point, and place torches around the perimeter to keep the camp safe through the night.
