Good strategy is to get in to the middle as fast as possible.i really like this map dont get me wrong but i always end up in loops where i just rush rush rush
I do this in golf a lot (solo Eggwars). There is no problem until I get to the last player who has been farming on mid all game. I still have leather since I have been rushing all game. I most likely end up dying..I actually rush first, gather tons of resources, go middle, get good gear and weapons, pickaxe and keep rushing.

.I wish you some good coding skills and health. Also happiness obviously
