Camp expansion | Setting up a camp Don't Starve Guide
Last update: 11 May 2016
Once you are ready to defend the camp, you can finally start expanding it. It is best to start by building items for storing the collected resources.
This means that what you should create is a Backpack and a Chest. The former one requires 4x Twigs and 4x Grass, and the latter 3x Boards (the Refined tab).
Your next task is to build the Alchemy Engine, which will unlock a lot of new schemata. What you are going to need here is 6x Gold Nugget, 4x Boards and 2x Cut Stone.
It is not easy to acquire six gold nuggets, but this is the only way to gain access to an Improved Farm and a Bird Cage. You will also need a Crock Pot. The description of these items can be found in the chapter devoted to food.
