I also have figured this out, so I started hunting to leave meat in the tents for passing strangers too. The vegetables provide more nourishment if you cook them first, but I’ve been leaving everything in the tents raw to save my matches. Now if only I could find some nails to finish my house. 👀

I’ve been intentionally building a base around a house at the rural end of a town. I login long enough to loot an area I pick on the map to find more farming/food supplies and then plant a large garden outside of my fence before I logout. I recently popped up a canopy outside of the fence to store the crops I harvest too, that way if anyone happens upon my small base they’ll see they have open choice of some crops for free. I treat it like a farmers market in hopes that anyone passing through will become accustomed to the weird hermit living on the fringe and maybe not kill me? I don’t actually have much for defense tbh. The area I’m based around is mostly agricultural, so it only functions for me to build bases and cultivate plants. I hate running into people. I got lucky with the last guy who stopped through at least.

Does anyone play as a casual hermit that leaves gardens for passing strangers? I took a month off unintentionally and came back to my base still mostly untouched with the exception of Some dry bags that didn’t persist. So I planted a bunch more plants and popped up a canopy to store a bunch of vegetables so peeps who walk by can eat. I hope it gets to where people won’t kill me because I legit only play to build cool shit and leave people food.
