So I started playing Don't Starve Console Edition and I need to ask if there are any Dont starve pro's here like i mean 50+ days survived because my best is day 10 and i usually die for the stupidest reasons. I have the strongman and that girl who loves fire unlocked the strongman seems a little pointless because i have hardly have a full belly. The fire loving girl seems to be the best since she starts with a lighter so you can use that for light at night. I see most people using the robot character. Now what i need help with is knowing which character is the best and what i build or do first.

Well, ive been to 40 before, but I couldve gone longer, I just got bored.

The first thing you NEED to build is an axe, and to build one, you need a flint and twigs. Flint can just be found randomly on the ground, or mined from rocks. Twigs are from saplings. Then, cut some trees. You'll get logs. There are multiple uses for these logs which i'll tell you about later. The MOST IMPORTANT thing you'll need is grass. Its tall, tan piles of grass (Or I guess hay.) you can find in a desert area or sometimes just around the map.

Now that you have logs and grass, you can build a campfire. You can keep refueling a campfire with other materials (Anything thats flammable, really.) Once it goes out, it'll turn to ash and you have to build a new one. Another alternate light source is a torch, which will require a few twigs and grass. You'll approximately need to build 2 torches to survive a night.

Now that you know the basis, its time to know how to survive for real. In order to survive with good items, you must build a science machine and an alchemy engine. The science machine will require a few logs, rocks, and gold. To get rocks and gold, you need to build a pickaxe. This will require a few twigs and 2 flint. Once you build it, try to find a rock with yellow streaks in it. Yellow streaks indicate it has gold. Use the pickaxe, and you will get gold and rocks. After you have enough, you could build it.

Now, before you build your science machine, try to build it in an area where you can camp. The best areas would be near rabbits, (For food) near beefalo, (For food and wool, but a little more dangerous) or near pigs. (Usually pretty easy, just learn when to attack.) The area best would most likely be near pigs, cause they can help you fight if an enemy is near. (Pigs are neutral)

Now that you most likely built your science machine in a legitimite spot for a base, its time for an alchemy engine. You need boards, (About 4) which can be build at the science machine for 4 wood each. It should be in the refine tab. Then, you need rocks to build Cut Stone, (About 2) which should also be in the refine tab. Lastly, you need some more gold, about 6 pieces. Then, head back to your science machine and build your alchemy engine, and place it next to your science machine.

Well, thats the basis to survive. Also, the best character to play as would probably be Wilson, the first character. His beard can be used for Winter, and other complicated stuff.

Any more questions?
