Tips for Beginner or Starting New Game – Part 1
Game Saves
* Do not rely on Autosave.
It can be a bug, or it saves on the wrong point that you want to go back to.
* Autosave occurred when: (can be overwritten)
– You going to sleep.
– Stay overnight until morning.
– The season changed.
– Completing quest.
* F5 = Quick Save.
Quick Save can be overwritten, every time F5 is pressed.
* F9 = Quick Load.
* I would suggest using manual save.
At least at some point in your game, to avoid disaster.
* Manual save can only from Save000 – Save099.
===========================================================================
Thief
* I will not be listing here what you can steal from town villages.
As those content can always be changed by the developer.
You can go and steal if there’s something from them.
Also, I’m not teaching you how to steal.
* Any item that shows a red text in your inventory considers a stolen item.
* A consequence of getting caught while stealing:
– You’ll lose between 1-20 or more of Dynasty Reputation point.
* Just looking at the town villagers chest or Animal Husbandry Sack will cost you Dynasty Reputation point.
Even if you did not take, or steal anything. If someone (the nearest NPC) sees you including from windows.
===========================================================================
Tax Debt and Losing Dynasty Reputation
* It will lead to a game over at some point (-10,000 Coin) in debt.
* Killing Animal Husbandry belonging to town villagers will also cost you Dynasty Reputation point.
===========================================================================
MAP
Press “M” for MAP.
MAP Legend:
“!” yellow = There’s a new story quest available.
“!” yellow = There’s new side quest available.
“?” yellow = Next available queue quest.
“Trumpet” white = Herald has appeared in one of the towns.
===========================================================================
General Gameplay
* Always follow the Chapter Quest (Tutorial) and Story Quest.
* Side Quest is optional.
* Save the game often.
* Save manually before going to bed at night and wake up in the morning.
* Always save before building, upgrading, and destroying a building.
* Always save before taking any quest.
DO NOT: (you can ignore this, but if you get a bug, try F5 & F9 method to update the Chapter Quest).
– Build Resource, and Food Storage when the Story Quest has not to ask you.
– Have a wife & child, relax just follow the game quest, they will tell you.
– Yes, you can die (around 60 years old, at random) and if you don’t have a child, you won’t be able to continue,
so try not to die before your child has reached maturity (18 years, & started work).
* Hold or Toggle “Left Alt” for inspector mode.
* Hold or Toggle “Left Shift” to run.
* Auto-Run (Double-tap Sprint button to activate).
Default: “Left Shift“.
* Hammer has more function by equipping hammer and right mouse click (require Handyman perk under the diplomacy skill).
===========================================================================
Torch
* Press “F” for the torch, equip first.
* Upgraded Torch can be crafted from Workshop/Smithy workbench.
* Press “Q” to start to Build, Craft, & Other.
===========================================================================
Storage
* Do not store food outside the Food Storage chest, it may turn to Rot in the next season (1 season).
===========================================================================
Hunting
* Craft a few (8-12) wooden spears as soon as possible for your protection against dangerous wild animals.
* Right mouse click after equipping spear to aim to throw, similar when equipping bow/crossbow (need an arrow/bolt).
* You can jump press “Spacebar“, then throw your spear.
Tips:
If you can land a spear on a Deer middle part, you can see where the Deer running in direction.
Because the spear stuck to it.
Aim to their head, deal a lot more damage.
Press “E” for skinning a dead animal and right mouse click to cancel.
You have to keep walking slowly and crouching, then aim at the animal head.
Try to unlock Tier 2 bow skill (you need 3 points), Predator, to make it easier.
* Doe is much harder to kill for headshot than Buck (2 headshots with a wooden spear).
Maybe just me. Doe weak point is at their neck. Maybe Buck too.
* Wolf will howl first when you are near its radius or area, if close enough it will attack you,
unless there is another animal closer to it or detect it first, it will then attack the animal first then kill it,
then started to attack you, in the meanwhile, try to kill the wolf quicker, especially when in a pack of 2 or more.
Your other option is to run away fast.
===========================================================================
Terrain
* You will get hurt when falling or jumping from higher ground.
The height is relative.
===========================================================================
Age
* When the main character and NPC worker has reached the age of 60, that’s when you would start to experience a random death.
If it was an NPC worker, you may not even notice it, until they are gone.
In the future patch, the developer might add a notification.
===========================================================================
