How to contribute to the camp?

[Nats]

No problems contributing meat to the camp at all.

But how do I contribute medicines etc? Because there is nothing appearing when I go to the icons in the camp. And when I go to the butcher the icons for those two are red but I dont know how to contribute them? I have loads of medicines. ammo. weapons etc on me but dont know how to contribute them.

It is difficult to understand this game. Some things you seem to be able to contribute and other seems to be only personal things that you can use yourself. But trying to figure out this stuff is hard. I guess I should read the help guides. But a good game should tell you how to do this in the game itself.

Ive seen the rosterbook thing and seen how I can buy supplies but not sure what it does tbh. Its just all not explained in the game at all. I was half wondering if a mission would open up these areas gradually and maybe I havent got onto that yet? Dont want any spoilers though !!

Go to the book at the tent open it and turn pagee it will show what is needed buy it with your own cash. Some will be medicines some ammo, some food items. Alcohol. Upgrades.
Where you donate cash is also the camp inventory book .

The funny thing is you don't have to contribute to the camp at all and there are no consequences for not contributing. I never contributed to the camp except maybe 3 times in my entire playthrough.

You can't donate your own medicine. You have to donate cash and then use it to buy some. It's not really worth it tho

Find the ledger and the donation box by Dutch's tent. You can donate items of value or cash to the box. You can open the ledger to upgrade or resupply things. The ledger uses Q and E to navigate, but it also uses left arrow and right arrow to move across pages.

Donate whatever you wish, but be careful about giving away items needed for crafting some where else.

Ditto with Pearson's donation box. It allows you to give away things that have a better use elsewhere.

Good luck.

Seems strange to have a gameplay element with no consequences? I thought some of them would start dying or something if they werent supplied with food etc.

What I find odd is that everyone saying how they played the game. That wasn't this guy's question and who are you to tell them how *YOU* played?! They obviously like to play different and there is nothing wrong with that.

Donate cash, use it to buy the supplies for the camp. You can donate any hunting items such as meat, hides, etc.

There are consequences.

The two most important for Arthur are unlocking fast travel from the camp, and increasing the capacity of your satchel. Both are a huge benefit to Arthur.

Less important are the ones which increase camp morale. The ones which increase the quality of food, medicine, and ammunition. People are nicer to each other as a result, and they contribute more to the camp. And sometimes it is simply convenient to restock your supplies from the modestly cheaper camp stocks than it is to just go out and buy them.

Other things dribble down in importance from there.
