Automatic Character Actions

When your character approaches objects, they will automatically interact, such as gathering resources, delivering materials, or attacking enemies ⚔️.

Hunger System & Food Management

• The character’s satiety meter is shown at the top-left of the screen 🍗.
• If satiety reaches zero, companion NPCs will stop gathering resources.
• You can collect berries and coconuts to make jam 🫐🥥.
• Fishing and cooking fish can also restore satiety, but fishing spots are unreliable.
• Therefore, it is recommended to rely on companions gathering berries and coconuts to maintain a stable food supply.

Tool & Production Tips

• Weed-cutting scissors are extremely important for clearing grass.
• They do not take up backpack capacity, so you can carry as many as possible ✂️.
• It is recommended to prioritize upgrading scissor production speed to ensure constant availability.

Resource Production Strategy

• The wood processing plant and stone processing plant automatically produce resources.
• However, their storage limits are very low, and upgrades are expensive.
• Upgrading these buildings in the early game is not recommended ❌.
• Resources gathered by companions are sufficient for early progression.

Combat, Loot & Recovery

• Defeating skeleton enemies drops coins 💰.
• Small dirt piles and treasure chests on the ground can also drop coins.
• If you are injured in combat, your health will automatically regenerate after avoiding damage for a short time ❤️.
