I probably shouldn't share any more tips with all the ridicule but I just can not not share the unique tactical genius I happen to have, whether it will be appreciated or not. Defeat by trying and failing is better than not trying at all, so here it is:

The new and the ultimate, quick to set up bear trap (only to be used by a river):

(1) Keep a branch in your inventory, spot the bear, build this, stand there, and initiate combat:

B

X _ X _ X
_ _ _ _ _
X _ X _ X
X P _ _ _
~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~

(2) Wait until the bear comes close enough and go inside:

X _ X _ X
_ P _ _ _
X _ X _ X
X _ B _ _ _
~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~

(3) Use that branch to block the bear's exit.

X _ X _ X
_ _ _ _ _
X _ X P X
X _ B _ X _
~~~~~~~~~
~~~~~~~~~

Good hunting.

You can, of course, use a single bear trap with 4 branches instead of 6, or instead of using a spare branch to seal the exit, you can quickly remove the branch on the bottom-right and replant it on the next tile but both of these increase the odds of a fuck up.

Anyone know a good way to increase Dex? i made a handful of piros today and ended up with 2 con gain (and a agl gain left over from a rabbit) rather annoyed as con's already my highest stat and things won't catch up at this rate.

Yes 50% chance for int but eating fish and pirotzky is a 25% chance for con 25% chance for int and a 50% chance for dex. Over the long run you will have twice as much dex as con and int.

If you are using the JNLP version, then open the console (press ` or ´) and type HELP.

Otherwise you should be asked about the reso as you start the client for the first time. After that there is a config file you can edit.

Here's a hint to give yourself some extra protection, shift+left click a cupboard on top of your cellar door to hide it.

Less useful against griefers of course. Those that destroy cupboards for the lulz will just be even happier when they find your sexy little cellar. but useful tip none-the-less.

Brotip: Don't use crates for outdoor storage. They decay in 2 hits, spilling stuff all over.
