Surviving The Night With New Friends

You know, I rarely build with strangers.  The reason is because I never know their intentions. You get out there in the Planet of Cubes, you start working on a project and they stab you in the back, literally.

Planet of Cubes Surviver players will enjoy this cause they know the struggle is real out there! However, this time around I had a great time forming up a place to survive the night with Leader of da wae seth.  Working the woods is great way to get through Multiplayer Survival. Here's usually how I play it:

1. Gather as much soil and sand as possible. I say those cause they're faster to get even without a weapon.

2. Wherever you are, set up camp. DON'T WAIT until the sun starts to set to do this. You'll be fighting everyone and everything.

3. Grab a torch when you see one. You'll need the light. The Planet of Cubes has torches everywhere, so that shouldn't be a problem.

Right here we're working on a quick fortress. They had different ideas and that's ok. 

Evening has set, that means it's time to hunker down and sit out the night. I don't have much but this axe, but it does the job. 

Here's my buddy helping out - he did a good job!

What cool things have you built with your friends??? Comment below!!!!

Survive the Night in Planet of Cubes Multiplayer Survival

 

Planet of Cubes Multiplayer Survival Notes: Day 1

 Life in the woods isn't as bad as I thought. I think one of the major things I needed to do was have a plan. I mean really, I'm wandering around without any weapons, armor and most of all, food.

So there I was, looking out the window very far from the safe zone. I'm going as far as I can before I get killed and that means hopping from one safe house to the next. I don't know if they're safe houses but when you're in the Planet of Cubes Multiplayer Survival mode, every house is a safe house.One thing I had to remember this time unlike yesterday's adventure was to ensure that every hole was plugged.

These random constructions out in the Survival Mode are not complete, so you've got to inspect every area of the building before you go inside. Otherwise, you're going to wonder how that zombie or monster got inside the building and is killing you. Keep this in mind and you can survive the night. 

Craft immediately, but hunt hard for supplies during the day. Don't EVER travel at night if you're not equipped. It's just a deathwish that will have you sent back to the safe zone. I'm keeping a log of where I'm at just in case that happens. You should too.

Naked and Afraid: Don't enter the Survival area without gear!

Planet of Cubes players have probably figured out that you shouldn't enter the wiles of the Survival area without arming yourself.  And then there's me - a guy that's always trying stuff out and wondering what it's not working out for me. haha.

In my defense I had a fairly decent plan. I was going to head out to the Survival area, mine a little bit, and get back into the safe zone before the sun went down. However wasn't the case because I fell into a dark hole. By time I got back up to the top, the Sun had set. It was dark.

Here come the spiders!

Before I knew it, I was racing around trying to simply hide and stay alive. I had no weapon other than a wooden ax. No armor, nothing. Just out there in the woods feeling like a helpless deer.

And that's when I saw her.  Her blonde hair from a distance made me think, "Hey, maybe she'll help me." No. That was wrong, very wrong. She watched me. Just just kept turning in my direction, observing every move. As I eluded the spider she approached me, and began to attack! I did wonder however why she was out there in the first place. It was a very creepy feeling - knowing that some Planet of Cubes players are only out there to kill ignorant "Naked and Afraid" guys like myself who know better.

I learned some things after being stabbed in the back - literally: Watch the bulky areas, GET GEAR, and don't think alliances are that simple. A hunter is a hunter.  Planet of Cubes Multiplayer Survival will be an growing and learning experience.

May the odds forever be in your favor!
