If You Are Stuck (Troubleshooting)

You See / Situation	Immediate Action
The heat warning is up	Stop hauling. Stand under a small canopy immediately. The hut is for night.
The jug says dirty water	Do not drink it raw. Purify it on the campfire first. Tastes Fine is the lethal fail badge.
It is dusk / nightfall	Enter the 240 kg Hut and sleep. Sleeping skips the night and nocturnal monsters.
You want to haul lots of timber	Only after shade, hut, fire, and clean water are secure. Then drag the 400 kg cart.
You want thirst rate per minute	The game uses a dynamic percentage HUD. Use our decision engine above for phase quotas.
