Prepared food keeps exploration moving better than emergency raw food.

1. Make the Workbench your first important station.
2. Use it for basics like planks, rope, tools, and processed materials.
3. When an item says Crafted By, check which station level it needs.

Do not enter a new camp at low health. Step back, heal, then return.

1. Open Discovery and inspect Coastal Jungle points of interest.
2. Start with useful resource POIs like Boar Lair, Jungle Cave, and Copper Deposit.
3. Empty every chest so the POI completion counter can progress.

POIs are not just loot spots. They are the path to better tools and materials.

1. Get Copper Ore from Copper Deposit or Jungle Cave.
2. Turn it into Copper Ingot after unlocking the related station.
3. Use Copper for stronger tools, then start chasing harder resources.
