Gather deliberately
Loose sticks and plants get the first tools made. Use axes on trees and pickaxes on rock and ore; the right tool improves both speed and yield.
Nothing on the island matches that.Try a shorter name, an ingredient, a station or a level.
01 / learn the island
Mechanics
The shortest route from an empty pack to a run that can survive its first Blood Moon.
Build the station ladder
Open crafting with C. A campfire handles cooking, a workbench unlocks the early industry, a forge makes metal, and the Chem Station handles advanced medicine and explosives.
Prepare for the red night
Ordinary nights do not summon a horde: stay quiet or break line of sight and encounters remain local. Every 7th night is a Blood Moon; then the swarm knows where you are, walls buy time and traps thin the wave. Place them with B.
Controls
Keyboard + mouse
Move, act, survive
WASD or arrows move. Shift sprints. Space jumps while still and dodge-rolls while moving. Aim with the mouse; left-click attacks, gathers or places. Right-click uses the held consumable. E interacts, R reloads, F quick-heals, 1–8 selects the hotbar and Q drops the held stack.
ERF1–8Q
Screens + camera
Everything has one key
Tab opens the 36-slot pack and gear. C crafts, B builds, P opens 12 perks and M opens the map. X cycles camera views; wheel zooms and Shift+wheel moves the 8-slot hotbar.
TabCBPMX
Gamepad
Analogue from the ground up
Left stick moves and right stick aims. RT acts, LT uses a consumable, A interacts, B reloads, X quick-heals and Y enters build mode. The bumpers run the hotbar; stick clicks dodge and sprint.
Touch
Supported in landscape
Phones get a movement stick, aim area, action cluster and touch routes through the pack and building controls. Panels accept taps directly. Turn the phone sideways before playing so the wider interface fits.
Survival loop
Needs
Full bars change the fight
Hunger and thirst drain faster while sprinting. Low needs slow movement and stamina recovery; empty bars cost health. Health regenerates only when fed, hydrated, at a safe temperature, out of combat, not bleeding and lightly infected.
Exposure
Weather is damage with a warning
Night, rain, snow, wind, deep water and wet clothing pull temperature down. Fire and shelter pull it back. Swimming spends stamina; once it is empty, open water becomes lethal.
Conditions
Treat the cause
Bandages stop bleeding. Antibiotics and antidote attack infection; untreated infection grows and becomes fatal. Raw food and dirty water can cause sickness, so cook meat and boil water before a long journey.
Death
Your pack stays where you fell
A bedroll becomes the respawn point. On death, the game places a gravestone holding the previous pack; without a bed you wake near the original start. A recovery run is part of the cost.
Noise
Every shortcut has an audience
Walking, sprinting, engines and gunfire create different alert radii. Quiet weapons and the bicycle keep encounters local; firearms, fast engines and the police siren can wake a corridor of the map.
Wear
Nothing lasts for free
Tools and weapons have durability. Strike a damaged structure with a Repair Hammer to restore it using a missing-HP share of its recipe; use build mode's REMOVE action (or right-click) to dismantle for a partial refund. Vehicles wear while driven—especially off road—and seize at zero condition until serviced. Each Engineer rank cuts structure and vehicle repair costs by 15%.
Farming
Rain is the irrigation system
Farm Plots accept corn or herb seed, grow with rain and wait for harvest. Seasons change crop output, so a base that feeds itself in spring may need stored food in winter.
Fishing
Cast where the water is worth it
Equip a Fishing Rod and cast into water. Deep water bites sooner and Cut Bait shortens the wait. React to the bite, then cook the catch; raw fish carries sickness risk.
Survivors
A base can become a crew
Recruit survivors from camps and tell them to follow, guard a position or forage near a crate. Revive a downed follower with a Medkit or Bandage; traders buy and sell one item at a time.
Base utilities
Build functions, not decoration
Chests, lockers and cabinets expand storage. Rain Catchers supply dirty water. A running, fuelled Generator powers Flood Lamps and Auto Turrets across the base.

The island
One seed, one reproducible place
The world spans 14336 simulation units and is generated from a seed. The same seed reproduces terrain, roads, ruins, points of interest, containers and vehicle wrecks.
PlainsDeep WoodsHighlandsMarshThe AshlandsRuins
Sectors
Clear the source, not just the crowd
Destroy every nest in a sector to secure it and stop ambient infected breeding there. Every sector awards XP; hive sectors also award a skill point.
The way out
Transmitters turn the sandbox into a route
Repair and light every transmitter, then call extraction at the marked site. The final hold lasts 120 seconds. Leaving and staying are both recorded endings.
Levels
XP opens recipes; points shape the survivor
Crafting, gathering, fighting, fishing, rebuilding vehicles, clearing sites and surviving nights award XP. Each level grants a skill point, while recipe and vehicle gates continue to read the survivor level and world progress.
Difficulty
DRIFTER
A gentler collapse. Slower hunger, weaker hordes. Learn the ropes.
SURVIVOR

SCAVENGER
Tougher infected, bigger waves, faster decay. For repeat offenders.

The infected hit harder. Blood Moon swarms are enormous. Good luck.
