This is more of a guide on him so lets get started ive played as him for around 79 or so days 37 on an old save and 52 on my current save

Season start
I DO NOT recommend a spring start that will get annoying QUICKLY due to 049s speed most of the time when you have a spring start you'll get hit by nightmare creatures it gets annoying VERY ♥♥♥♥♥ quickly because of the rain and low sanity but if you do get throu the season its worth getting a scale and beargers fur

saving your flint and rope
Use a pretty Parasol in the early game to save you items when fighting mobs who can be killed by your hand or use your hand but it has a big wind up time so yeet

Easy meat and sanity
due to 049's ability to One shot most mobs you can use this to your advantage hitting a beefalo will give you 4 meat and killing volt goats is also easy and can give you a horn and 3 meat if you get a horn on your first try don't kill more craft a Morning star kill all except and one for the easy sanity part get a crock pot and make ice cream recipes can be found here https://dontstarve.fandom.com/wiki/Ice_Cream

Hounds and their teeth
You can EASILY get a ton of teeth and monster mean with 049 and gems in winter and summers

Getting health easily
With the bat weapon you can get 6.8 health back which is helpful when your fighting a boss or mob so pull it out and hit it if you want you can make a health farm first make a pen put rabbids or moleworm hit it with it and restore to the health you want do note this is costy but its worth it due to his speed

Eaay gems and tentical spots
There are 2 things you can do one with caves and the other with vargs and hounds
1. Go to the caves find a giant tentical hit it blue or red gems will fall
Strat 2
Get a varg and make it spawn houndes due to seasons this one isnt very efficent

Easy SCP 049-2
what i mean by this is how you can get a ton of them for more power and chopping and seeing them fight each other sometimes
You will need
1 Fling O Matic (or ice staff)
1 torch (or fire staff
1 Pig House
Walls or fences so when the pig runs out he gets stuck and you can kill him
Set the house on fire let the pig run out extinguish with fling o matic or ice staff kill the pig repeat
until you get the amount you want
(WARNING sometime the 049-2 WILL attack you if they freeze with the pig house with the fling o matic strat so be careful with that)

Countering speed
if you have coffee use it its pretty helpful along with a walking cane cobblestone wont do much of a speed difference so i don't recommend using it anyways that's about it will update if i discover anything new
