In a world where survival hinges on managing your sanity, hunger, health, and hydration, staying alive requires more than just luck. This guide will walk you through the essential strategies to keep yourself physically and mentally healthy in the harshest conditions. Let’s dive into the crucial aspects of survival: hydration, hunger, healing, and sanity.
Physical Health
Hydration
Hydration is relatively straightforward to manage. Follow these steps to ensure you always have a steady supply of clean water:
- Collect Dirty Water: Head to a nearby lake to gather dirty water.
- Prepare a Campfire: Chop some trees to gather wood for your camp or supply bench.
- Boil Water: Use your camp or supply bench to boil the dirty water.
To maximize your hydration, drink until you are fully hydrated and then consume a bit more. This tactic will prevent your hydration levels from decreasing for the next 20 minutes. Remember, staying hydrated is crucial to your survival!
Hunger
Managing hunger is a bit more complex but equally essential. Here’s how to ensure you never go hungry:
- Skill Points: When you earn skill points, prioritize unlocking the “Dishes I” skill. This ability will allow you to cook meat.
- Build a Stove: Construct a stove to cook your meat.
- Hunting: Go hunting, preferably for deer. Once you’ve secured your game, return home and cook the meat on your stove.
By cooking and consuming enough food to become full, and then eating one more piece, you’ll ensure that your hunger is satisfied for the next 20 minutes. Keep hunting and cooking to stay satiated!
Healing
In the event of injury, it’s crucial to know how to heal yourself. Here are the best ways to recover health:
- Activators: You start with items called “Activators.” Using one will restore 50% of your maximum health. You can also find more activators by raiding and looting various locations.
- Cooked Goat Meat: Consuming cooked goat meat also provides a health boost.
Keep a stock of activators and cooked meat to maintain your health and stay in top condition!
Mental Health
Sanity
Maintaining your sanity is just as important as keeping your body healthy. A decline in sanity reduces your maximum health. Here’s how to keep your mind sharp:
- Grilled Mushrooms: Collect mushrooms and grill them on your stove to create sanity-boosting grilled mushrooms.
- Sleep: Unlock “Basic Furniture I” to build a bed. Sleeping in a bed helps restore your sanity.
- Sanity Pills: These can be found in loot chests and you start with some. Use them to quickly regain sanity.
By staying on top of your sanity, you’ll ensure your overall health remains high. Remember, a clear mind is key to survival!
