Спальный мешок

Thirty Cloth, no workbench, no blueprint — it's available from the second you spawn and takes 15 seconds to craft. There's no cheaper or faster way to make one; that's the only recipe.

Getting the cloth

Thirty is a meaningful chunk this early in a wipe, but hemp plants and any animal you skin both drop it, so a short farming loop right after spawning is usually enough on its own. Don't wait to gather cloth for other things first — a bag is worth prioritizing before you wander far from where you landed.

Why place one immediately

A sleeping bag sets your respawn point, and without one you're stuck respawning at a random beach spawn every time you die — which can be minutes of running back to your base. Placing one near where you're building, even before you have walls up, saves a lot of dead time in the first hour.

Placement and decay

Bags placed in the open decay and can be destroyed by other players; one inside a Tool Cupboard's building privilege zone is protected the same as your base. If you're roaming or setting up a second base, an out-of-privilege bag is still useful as a forward respawn point — just expect it not to last if someone finds it.
