But it doesn't decrease/increase with me picking up/dropping items. I thought it may be something to do with Kelvin? I had him rest and the bar went down

Update: bar filled, the muscle was replaced with "6" and then it started all over. Danger level?

Its kind of like your overall strength, depending on how tired, hungry, thirsty you are.

Nope and nope. It's your strength. Its level goes up when you cut trees, carry heavy weight and so on.

Okay... Makes sense. So what does that do for me? Quicker cutting? More carried logs?

i think it increases your melee damage too? i'd imagine anything melee/physical related would be improved by having higher strength. Not sure if the feature in hard difficulty from the first game is still there by eating a bunch of calories and burning them off by just swinging a stick before you sleep otherwise you get overweight and move slowerr.

as for that "6" i guess that number that shows up is your strength level, so filling it to full next im guessing would change to a 7, then 8, and 9 and so on. incentive to keep doing physical/melee activities to get it higher

I can confirm it definetly rises by cutting down trees pretty quickly...maybe Farket can enlighten us soon

It's your strength. It indicates how much you can carry and what your level is (level pops up when you are gaining xp).

noticed on a loading screen tip, each strength level slightly increases your health.

Those loading screen tips should be accessible from menu, cause I can't count on logging in to learn something every 6h of gameplay XD

Nah, it makes perfect sense for the tutorial to be in the loading screen, because we are all playing on mechanic 1200 rpm drives and not nvmes so we have plenty of time to read them all.

But the thing is, for me as the host the game loads within 2 tips. It's my friend who has eternity to read through them while I stand and slowly starve to death waiting for him to load in XD

It's strength goes up when carrying heavy thing's like logs it goes down if you don't drink and eat and sleep so just keep them up.
