As the sun sets, {{ll|Drifter|Drifters}} will start to spawn. Drifters are hostile, and can be dangerous to players (especially if they have no armor or weapons), but can be easily avoided if players prepare a shelter beforehand. | |||
There are different blocks that you can use to make a shelter using the early resources you have available. {{ll|Dry Grass|Dry grass}} can be used to make a {{ll|Bed|bed}} early on, or form hay blocks/cob for early building blocks. {{ll|Soil Blocks|Soil}} is also a good building material, and can be used to form Mud Bricks. | |||
