Much like many survival titles on the market, you won't get very far in Medieval Dynasty without a humble abode to call your own. Without a house, you'll have nowhere to sleep, no protection from the elements, and nowhere to store your valuables. In order to make a house a reality, along with an abundance of other craftable items and buildings, you'll need to get your hands on a healthy supply of Straw.

While Straw is not a particularly difficult resource to gather, as it doesn't require any tools to harvest, it can be a challenge to find if you don't know where to look in the first-person open world the game is set in. With that in mind, this guide will show players how to find Straw in Medieval Dynasty so they can get to focusing on building and growing their own village.

How To Find Straw in Medieval Dynasty

Straw is one of the first resources players will want to acquire in order to start building their own home and, in extension, begin laying down the foundations of their own village. Much like rocks and sticks, these can be found readily lying around on the ground for harvesting, but you will need to know exactly where to look in order to start collecting.

To find Straw, players will want to venture along rivers and bodies of water, as Straw is a byproduct of Reeds. Reeds are in plentiful supply along the rivers, so you won't have any trouble getting your hands on more than you'll need for your next building project. To get yourself some Straw, approach any Reed plant and press the E key. For faster collection, simply hold the E key on your keyboard to continue to grab Reeds as they come into arms reach.

What Do You Need Straw For?

Straw is an essential component for buildings with thatch roofs, as well as other miscellaneous craftables such as Archery Targets in this medieval life simulator. Some crucial buildings you'll need Straw for include:

  • Houses
  • Excavation Shed
  • Well
  • Herbalist's Hut
  • Hunting Lodge
  • Barns
  • Henhouse
  • Pigsty
  • Stable
  • Apiary
  • Food & Resource Storage

Aside from buildings, Straw is also required for tools and clothing such as torches and Straw Hats, along with animal feed. Given the vast array of uses the resource has, it is one of the more invaluable items players can collect, and it certainly pays to keep a hefty supply of it on hand for any building and crafting needs that arise.
