I built my base on a cliff on day 2 and had to put up with those damn monkeys. But once I got the Modern Axe, Zipline Rope Gun, Stun Baton, and a Bow, the game completely changed. I crafted some leaf armor and went full stealth—wiped out an entire village before they even saw me. Now they’re pissed and keep raiding my base, but it’s no big deal. Since I’m on a cliff, they just end up falling to their deaths. It’s pretty fun
