Character Sheet
The Character Sheet displays all the information related to your character.
It contains 4 tabs:
Attributes, which is open by default and contains your Attributes and Incrementable Skills.
Skills, which contains your Non-Incrementable Skills.
Study, which contains your Study Interface to gain Learning Points through Curiosities.
Personal Beliefs, which contains your Personal Beliefs.
Worship, which shows which items your require to Worship.
Base Attributes
See Attributes.
Attributes affect many actions that you can perform and are raised by eating food that provide Food Event Points (FEPs).
Skills
Some skills affect active or passive qualities of your character, while others grant your character the ability to perform new actions, such as crafting new objects, performing new combat moves, or building new structures.
Note: If the total cost of Incrementable skills goes over a certain amount (One skill over about 5700 should be enough) the total cost will go into the minus.
(You can actually get the cost of LP under your current LP but you will still be unable to buy it.)
Personal Beliefs
See Personal Beliefs.
Your Personal Beliefs determine the values of your character and have various passive effects.
Worship
Requires the Ancestoral Worship skill.
Equipment Screen
See Equipment for all equipable items.
The Equipment Screen is where players can equip their character with items that will help them flourish in the harsh world, or just look pretty. These items include weapons, armor, clothing, jewelry, tools, and healing items.
There are 16 slots for equipment. Some items take up multiple slots, e.g. the Bear Cape that takes up both the headwear and cape slots, and the Pickaxe that takes up both hands. Equipment slots are unfortunately not labelled or indicated by any sort of picture in-game, making it confusing for new players to know what each slot is for. Players thus label the equipment slots using a code that combines which side of the equipment screen the slot is on and how far it is from the top, e.g. 5R is the fifth slot from the top on the right side.
Slots on the Equipment Screen
| 1L | Headwear | 1R | Necklace/Accessory | |||
| 2L | Shirt | 2R | Chest Armor | |||
| 3L | Gloves | 3R | Belt | |||
| 4L | Left Hand | 4R | Right Hand | |||
| 5L | Ring | 5R | Ring | |||
| 6L | Robe/Cloak | 6R | Back | |||
| 7L | Pants | 7R | Leg Armor | |||
| 8L | Cape | 8R | Footwear |
Notes
While the quiver appears to take up two slots, this is simply a graphical bug and it only takes up the Back (6R) slot.
HUD
The Heads Up Display (HUD) provides important information about your character's current status.
Health
Health is divided into three categories, indicated in the mouse-over as SHP/HHP/MHP.
SHP
Soft Hit Points. When this reaches 0, your character is knocked out, making it so you can temporarily do nothing. SHP recover over time (if you're not starving) up to the amount of HHP you have.
HHP
Hard Hit Points. When this reaches 0, your character dies. HHP can only be recovered either by using Gauze or Leeches.
MHP
Max Hit Points. Your HHP can never be greater than this number. It can only be increased by eating certain food that increase your Constitution attribute, or by increasing your Barbarism on the Barbarism/Civilization slider in the Personal Beliefs menu.
Stamina
Indicates how tired your character is. This goes down as you do various activities, eventually making your character move slower as it goes below certain levels. Over time, your stamina will recover by taking points from the hunger bar. It can also be recovered by drinking Tea and water with a water skin.
Hunger
This has five levels: Starving (0-49%), Very Hungry (50-79%), Hungry (80-89%), Full (90-100%), Overstuffed (>100%), where the number represents the right most number in the mouse over. 10 units of hunger represent 1%, thus a food that recovers 40 units of hunger will increase the right most number by 4%. If you are at the Starving level, your character will slowly lose HHP. If you are at the Overstuffed level, you will only be able to move at a crawl. 1% of hunger can replace 5% of stamina.
Happiness
Does nothing except make you worry if you didn't read this. Now that you have, you know that it does nothing. Don't worry about it.
Speed
From slowest to fastest: Crawl - 1.5 tile per second. Walk - 3 tile per second. Run - 4.5 tile per second. Sprint - 6 tile per second. Faster speeds consume more stamina.
Combat
See Combat Actions and Combat 101 for more details.
Melee Combat
Attack
Attacks are actions that inflict damage on your opponent. Using an attack will fully deplete the attack bar. The success rate of an attack depends heavily on how full the attack bar is when you attack, as well as the defense bar of your opponent. After attacking, you will return to using the Move you were using before attacking.
Maneuver
Maneuvers are patterns for responding to an attack. Your selected manuver determines how effective the attacks are on you, and have an effect every time the enemy uses a move.
Move
Moves are actions in combat that have some effect on the battle, generally raising or lowering your attack or defense. Once a move has been performed on an opponent, you will continue using that move as long as the conditions are met.
Special Move
Special Moves are actions that are performed once upon activation in order to gain some specific advantage in a fight by manipulating one or more of the fight variables.
Ranged Combat
Shoot
Ranged combat is limited to shooting with your weapons, there are no fancy tricks or anything complicated. Select 'Shoot' and left-click on your target. An aiming icon with a vertical bar will appear. How full the bar is determines your chance to hit. The speed that the bar fills up is based on your Marksmanship skill. See also, Archery.
Miscellaneous
Size
How many squares an object takes up. The first number refers to the x or horizontal direction, the second to the y or vertical direction. When talking about objects, size refers to how much inventory space it takes up, whereas when talking about structures it refers to the number of tiles it occupies.
Soak
Soak is a value assigned to buildings that determines how resilient they are to attack. This value is subtracted from all incoming damage to the building in question. In order for an attack to have any effect at all, it must deal more damage than the soak value of the building being attacked. For example, aggressive boars and bears deal more than 25 damage per attack. Therefore, they can damage and potentially destroy any building in their way with a soak value of less than 25.
An easy way to calculate minimal required strength to destroy an object with soak:
= required strength
Where tool is: 1 (Axe), 2 (Pickaxe), 4 (Sledgehammer), or 20 (Battering Ram). Note that rams can be operated by multiple characters, further lowering required strength.
Softcap
See Softcap.
A softcap refers to the effect that skills and attributes have on crafting items and building structures.
