I always change the "force attack(mod)" to shift in the controls. Shift is way easier to press in tandem with other keys IMO, so it made punching butterflies a bit simpler. Speaking of which, is punching actually easier for butterflies? It *feels* like the punch hitbox comes a bit sooner in the animation, giving it less time to move out of your range, but that might just be me.

I made it to 30 days! But then Wilson said "That sounded huge!" so I assumed it was Deerclops spawninh, I then prepared with a hambat, football helmet, and log suit. After being out my base so I could have an open area to fight it in, I didn't see the Deerclops so I assumed it despawned, while I was right about it despawning, I came back to my base and saw that it wrecked everything. I then froze to death. :(

Did you plant a sign away from your base? When Deerclops spawns she will target whatever the nearest structure is to wherever she spawns, so if you base was the nearest place with structures, she probably beelined towards it before you realized she had gone that way. Best practice is to get SEVERAL screens away from your base as soon as you hear the warning sounds, plant a sign, and make a big campfire. Don't use a firepit though - it can get destroyed too!

Not sure about switch though, but I imagine it should work the same way.
