The various indices of the game, from top to bottom, are: hunger, thirst, fatigue, weight bearing, comfort (related to temperature), outdoor temperature, injury (pain, infection and bleeding)
The basic survival principle of this game is to keep the above indicators within the normal range. If any of the indicators enters a dangerous state, the game will end. To keep your game running, here are some tips:
Hunger: There are 3 types of food sources: dry food, plants and animals. Dry food can be obtained with a certain probability by searching buildings. It is basically only for emergencies because the quantity is very small. Plants: Berries and mushrooms can be collected in the wild. Remember, if you do not choose the botany skill, only keep blue/blackberries for berries, and give up all mushrooms, because other plants have a certain probability of causing infection. Meat: Obtained by hunting animals (humans). Meat spoils very quickly. It is best to immediately make meat into barbecue (requires fire and short stick) or cured bacon (requires 2 ashes, fire and short stick). . Regular grilled meat will quench thirst, while cured bacon will cause thirst.
Thirst: Do not drink raw water directly in the wild. Drinking it directly may cause infection. All water sources must be disinfected before drinking. There are 3 ways to obtain clean and safe water: water testers, water purification tablets and boiling water. Water meters are very rare and require batteries to use. Water purification tablets, ordinary water plus water purification tablets can produce clean water. Because the quantity is small, please only use it in emergencies. Boil water: The most important and basic method of obtaining safe drinking water requires a fire source, water and fireproof and waterproof containers (pots, empty jars or glass bottles). Remember to collect some empty plastic bottles at ordinary times, which can be used to store clean water. Transparent plastic bottles are recommended so it is easy to tell whether there is water or not. (Green plastic bottles are a little difficult to identify, especially if you have more than a dozen bottles)
Fatigue: Fatigue is eliminated through sleep. Sleep involves a matter of comfort and safety. Try to sleep in buildings as much as possible. You can use a tent (2 short sticks + long line + 8*10 tarpaulin) and sleeping bag to improve the effect of sleep and rest. In order to prevent someone from attacking you while sleeping, you need to make some sound alarms. The method is very simple, any container (such as medicine bottle, plastic water bottle) + small object (stone, glass, bullet, pill, etc.) + short wire. 4 sound alarms can protect you against enemy invasion to the greatest extent. Finally, remember to take the audible alarm with you when you leave the resting place, and dismantle the tent and take it with you for future use.
Weight-bearing: In addition to carrying items with both hands, the game provides many ways for you to carry more items. Generally, there are three situations: clothing and pants with pockets, backpacks, and cargo carriers. Clothes and trousers: There is a jacket with pockets, but you must take off your fur coat to load and unload items. Try to store items that are not commonly used. Pants, the best ones have 9 storage compartments. Backpacks: There are basically two types, plastic bags and mountaineering bags. The advantage of plastic bags is that they can be folded up to occupy only one when not in use, and they can also be used as fire starters. The advantage of a mountaineering bag is that it has a large capacity and is a standard equipment in the mid-game. Both hands can also hold the bag, which means that one person can carry up to 3 hiking bags or plastic bags regardless of the carrying equipment. Note that most things have weight. Carrying too many things will slow down the player's movement and increase fatigue. Carrying equipment: refers to the containers that can be placed in the vehicle options and can carry cargo. There are 6 types in total. The pallet, the red pallet that is very easy to find, seriously affects the mobility. Pull wire tray, composed of tray + medium wire, is very useful in the early game. The upper half of the supermarket trolley cannot be combined with the middle line, so please replace it as soon as possible. Old-style sleds require mechanical repair ability. The materials are 2 long objects (such as large branches), 4 medium objects (such as short sticks) and 12 medium wires. A supermarket shopping cart requires mechanical repair skills to make (you can find it with a small probability by exploring). If you want to make it yourself, you need to collect a multi-functional tool set and at least 4 wheels. Remember, the least durable of all combined materials will be the durability of the combined shopping cart. In addition, the storage body of supermarket shopping carts has gaps and cannot store small items. The hand-carton cart (obtained with a small chance of exploration), the ultimate cargo vehicle, also requires mechanical repairs, multi-functional tool sets, wheels and other items to assemble.
Comfort and outdoor temperature: The current environment is closely related to the clothes on your body. In short, it has to do with what you are wearing and whether there is a heating element. If you have hunting skills, you can obtain fur when handling prey, and the fur of a dogman can be worn directly as a coat. If you're overheating, take off a few layers of clothing.
Injuries: Pain, infection and bleeding. Either situation, if not dealt with, can ultimately lead to the player's death. Pain can only be solved by taking painkillers. There are two painkillers in the game, which are randomly obtained during the exploration process. Infection requires the use of penicillin and advanced medical equipment (rare). If bleeding occurs, wrap the wound with a clean cloth. The method of obtaining a clean cloth is fire source + utensil + dirty cloth + water. If you choose medical skills, you can directly see the specific conditions of the three states, and get a first aid kit at the beginning of the game. The first aid kit will include painkillers, penicillin and clean cloths.
