# Draugnorak
A survival audio game built with NVGT. Explore, gather, craft, and defend your base as day and night cycle.
## Installation

## Quick Start

- **Bow**: Ranged (uses arrows). Hold Control to draw; release to fire. Damage scales with draw time (0–10).
- Enemies include zombies (night), bandits (invasions), and boars (daytime).
- **25% chance** to recover a fired arrow as a world drop.
- If your base has an altar, each undead kill grants **+0.2 favor**.
## Base and Survival
- **Passive healing** in the base when below max health.
- **Herb Garden** increases healing speed (base only, one per base).
- **Fires** require a nearby firepit and need fuel (sticks, vines, logs).
- **Barricade** starts at 100 health, capped at 500; reinforces via Crafting > Barricade.
- **Storage** enables base inventory management and helps attract residents.
- **Residents** (if recruited) consume meat, help defend, repair the barricade, and collect resources.
## Residents and Automation
Residents can automate survival tasks, defend your base, and process resources. To get the most out of them, ensure you have the necessary tools and facilities in your base storage.
### Recruitment and Care
- **Recruitment**: Residents join automatically after invasions. If you have **Storage** built, the likelihood for survivors to become residents increases. **1–2 survivors** can join at a time, up to a maximum of **4 residents**. Beware the vampyr, it will eat your residents.
- **Food**: Each resident consumes **1 unit of food every 8 hours** (3 per day).
- Priority: Meat > Smoked Fish > Basket of Fruits and Nuts.
- If no food is available, residents will go hungry and stop working.
- **Blessing**: The "Blessing of the Resident" (from the Altar) doubles their efficiency and reduces tool breakage for a short time.
### Activities and Requirements
Residents automatically perform these tasks if the requirements are met in your base storage.
