While most of the game is relatively straightforward, with a few questions here or there that beg for a guide, winter in Bellwright provides your first genuine challenge. If you head into the season unprepared, you’re in for a short-lived rebellion. Here is how to survive winter in Bellwright!
How to Prepare for Winter in Bellwright
You’ll want to start constructing a few key buildings to prepare for the approaching winter in Bellwright, which is always just around the corner. First and foremost, you must have a campfire to help keep everyone warm and to cook food. You cannot rely on berries and mushrooms, as they won’t grow during winter, but you can place numerous traps to help catch small game. A bit of rabbit caught daily can sustain a small colony of villagers for the extended winter period.
Furthermore, use a Weaver Loom to craft Linen and a Weaver Table to craft a Winter Cloak. It requires 1 Linen and 2 Pelts, so placing down those previously mentioned traps becomes even more critical. With a Cloak, you can better survive the cold weather, as can your workers.
Lastly, ensure you have an adequate supply of wood to keep your campfire burning strong through the cold winter months. Sure, you can venture into the snow-covered fields to search for sticks or chop young trees down, but it’s easier to grab four from your storage chest to refill the firepit!
