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.
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.
