Sanity !!!!

[ztudo]

Guys good afternoon!
What effect is added to the game / character when sanity is low?
I'm not feeling any difference!
TY!!!!

you can build those toterm thingys, you just set fire to them and it keeps the cannibals away.
Other then that no clue.

simply effigies, that is all.

What totem thingys (effigies) I don't see any option to build one. Seen that burning effigies scare them away...but how do I get or build one in the first place? Need to find a "blueprint" for it?

And what makes sanity go down? Am on day 130 something or other, and just now went down to 90 something percent.

Any time I go near the yacht, he stops and looks at a burnt picture and tries to row different than I'm moving raft. Is that a sanity effect?

The player can make effigies that supposedly scare off the cannibals (in practice they are not highly effective) but they have to fall below a threshold of like 90 sanity to unlock the building tab for those effigies. Activities like enjoying some music or getting some rest can restore your sanity. Killing, chopping up, and eating cannibals are great ways to drop your sanity. Unfortunately, the effigies page is all sanity actually does so there's not much reason to care what your sanity is unless you do want to make effigies.

As for that little animation of looking at the picture and turning the raft, that's you hitting the world border. Basically their reasoning for you not going further out is that you refuse to leave without your kid, so you turn back, and that's what they use to keep you within the world borders.

I'm curious about that statement. Are you playing on Peaceful? Because it's a great feat to survive that long without dropping your sanity one bit.

I just didn't play in such a way that resulted in my sanity going down, I guess, but I eventually did accidentally enough so to get the ability to build effigies. And I've always played on normal. Never peaceful nor hard. And, In my current solo I've survived for 328 days.

You can build the effigies that is about it which are a waste of time as far as them doing anything but can be rewarding in the event you enjoy this type of decor.

As far as I understand sanity goes up when sleeping and goes down really fast when you don't sleep regularly. I've kept mine up past day 100 as well.
