Getting Started

Hurtworld is as simple as the title says, unforgiving to those who are unsure of how to survive. Constant hours can be spent trying to survive the brutal Weather combinations of Cold and Hot, but don't fear! Chief and Gotcha are here to help you!

Getting Started
When first starting the game, collecting Resources and Loot will become bread and butter. It is essential to put your focus on collecting Wood and Stone that will be located on the ground. These Items can give you a combination of wood, from the logs, and stone/Flint from the stones that lay on the floor. After gathering 20 wood and 5 flint, proceed to make a Campfire and keep it in your inventory until night time comes around, this will come in handy later on. Once you have got that down, proceed to make a Flint Hatchet and Stone Pickaxe which can be located in your Crafting menu by pressing.

There are two main ways to create a sustaining food source in HurtWorld:
 * 2. Food to survive!!!


 * Owrongs.

On your way through the world, you may come across a plant that is not ripe yet, or is fully ripe with orange fruit hanging from it. Keep in mind that this will become a staple food source if you manage to collect enough of the seeds from it. Generally you will receive 1-2 seeds but can receive 0.


 * Meat.

To establish a staple meat supply, you will first have to craft a Basic Spear using 10 flint and 10 wood. This can be used to kill the smaller and medium sized Animals in game (this does not include Yetis, or large Gavkus), but be sure to hit them in the head, this does more damage and ensures you will take less of it. This meat can then be eaten raw, or cooked on a Campfire, however, keep in mind, the campfire will be destroyed if it runs out of fuel, a Fire Pit will not.

Normally by the time you have achieved those two above steps, it should be nighttime, this is the time to find a decent place to setup shop, put your campfire down, and keep warm for the cold that lays ahead of you. It would be handy to craft a Workbench while you warm up and proceed to Craft any items you may find useful. (Upgrade your Tools/Weapons etc.)
 * 3. Set up shop!!!.

Food
Food in Hurtworld is very important, which is why it should be one of your top priorities in the beginning of the game as well as your temperature.

Meat can be found in the form of Raw Steak and dropped by killing the Shigi, Bor or Gavku. Meat that is left at room temperature (un-refrigerated) will become Rancid Steak after 10 minutes, so it is advised that once you have a Raw Steak, you cook it and eat it before it becomes useless. In the current stage of the game Cooked Steak can be frozen in a  Fridge or a  Storage Locker. If meat is kept frozen it will not go bad while in a fridge or locker. When cooked steak is taken out of a fridge or storage locker, it will thaw in 4 minutes before becoming a normal piece of steak which will go off in 10 minutes, making the total amount of time to eat the steak 14 minutes before it becomes rancid.

Amber Protection


"In HurtWorld V2 the Infamy system is replaced with an amber protection mechanic. Instead of keeping all gear and items upon death, players will lose unprotected items. Players can 'consume' amber for gear protection so that the amount of amber used for protection is dropped in place of said gear."""
