This guide covers the basics of starting the game, building a shelter, and staying alive in the cold.
1. Starting the Game
- Gather Basics: As soon as you start, look for rocks and sticks on the ground. You need these to make your first tools.
- Choose a Spot: Look for a flat area near a river. This is the best place to build your base because you need water and wood.
2. Staying Alive
- Keep Warm: Your hands will freeze. You must build a Campfire or Fireplace to stay warm.
-
Food and Water:
- Food: You can eat mushrooms and berries at first, but they are not very good. The best food is rabbit meat.
- Water: Do not drink dirty water from the river; it hurts your health. You need to make a Water Skin or Bucket to carry water, then boil it on the fire.
- Sanity: Do not stay in the dark for too long. If your sanity gets low, you will see scary things.
3. Building and Wood
-
Cutting Trees: Use a rock or axe to cut trees.
- Warning: When a tree falls, it can hit you and take away half your health. Always run away when the tree starts to fall.
- Logs: You can split logs into Half Logs or Quarter Logs. Different parts of the house need different sizes.
- VR Tip: You can throw logs to your building spot. It is faster than carrying them, but be careful not to miss.
4. Tools and Crafting
You need a crafting station to make better items. Here are the important tools:
| Item | Materials | Use |
|---|---|---|
| Stone Axe | 2 Rocks, 1 Stick | Cuts trees faster, good for fighting. |
| Stone Knife | 1 Rock, 1 Stick | Skins rabbits for leather. |
| Spear | 1 Stick | Used for fishing or hunting. |
| Torch | Stick, Dry Grass | Lights up the dark. |
| Water Skin | Rabbit Hide | Holds water. |
5. Hunting and Cooking
- Hunt: Find a rabbit and hit it with your axe or spear.
- Skin: Use the Stone Knife on the dead rabbit to get Raw Meat and Rabbit Skin.
- Cook: Put the raw meat on the fire. Cooked Meat fills your hunger bar more than raw meat.
6. Important Tips
- Night Time: It is dangerous at night. Monsters or wolves might come. Close your doors and windows.
- Expand: Your first small cabin is just for starting. Later, you can build a bigger house.
- Boil Water: Making a fireplace to boil water is very important for your health.
