FAQ
What should beginners craft first?
Secure Wood, Metal and food first. A current community route recommends Sawmill, Crab Trap and then Map Radar, but exact unlocks and costs should be checked in the current game UI.
Should I build a Sawmill or Crab Trap first?
Choose the pressure hurting the run. Build toward the Sawmill if Wood collection is slowing every project; prioritize the Crab Trap if food keeps interrupting exploration.
Does the game have potion recipes?
Yes. The public We Need To Cook badge confirms a potion index with discoverable recipes. The badge does not provide the recipe names, ingredients or effects.
Is cooking verified?
The public We Cookin badge confirms cooking chowder with a cooking pot. Ingredients and exact steps still need visible in-game checks.
Are weapons part of crafting?
Weapons are part of the game's public survival framing. Weapon names, crafting source and stats still need current gameplay checks.
How does the harpoon connect to crafting?
The harpoon/resource loop can help with resources, but exact gathered resources still need player notes.
How should I use this page safely?
Use it for priorities and next steps. Do not treat it as a recipe table until screenshots are added.

This chapter keeps the route useful now and labels details that still need gameplay proof. Exact stats, coordinates, recipes and hidden mechanics stay out until a player can check them cleanly.
