Warmth
  • Stoves and wood burners can be found in the main ship or at different locations throughout the world. Both stoves and wood burners provide a source of heat, with stoves having the added benefit of enabling players to cook a variety of recipes.

  • Lanterns and campfires are an 'out and about' heat source, with campfires having the added benefit of basic cooking.

  • Tents, caves, and igloos have varying levels of insulation. Add fuel to the provided heat source or build a campfire at these locations to keep the cold at bay.

  • Night/Day cycle: Night is much colder so be cautious venturing too far afield.

Food
  • Raw meat is harvested from dead animals and should be cooked on a campfire/stove before consumption.Eating cooked meat is more nutritious.

  • Blubber is harvested from dead seals and can be eaten raw, added to stews or used as a crafting ingredient.

  • Human meat is harvested from dead people... it can be cooked on a campfire/stove. Thralls love human meat...

  • Body parts can be gathered by cutting up dead people's bodies. Turning to cannibalism is a last resort for Explorers, but these parts can be added to stews at a stove. Being a cannibal as an Explorer will mean that meat will satiate your hunger less.

  • Stews are very nutritious and wholesome. They also provide some warmth.

Crafting / Cooking
  • Most crafting is performed at a workbench. Here you can create weapons and other various pieces of equipment.

  • You can also craft campfires and - additionally for Thralls - totems on the go, by pressing Q.
    Campfires require rocks and sticks.
    Totems require bone clubs and sticks.

  • Cooking is done at a stove. You can make food, tea, poison, and its antidote. In a pinch, you can cook raw meat on a campfire.

Healing
  • Passive healing is tied to hunger - the fuller you are the faster your health regenerates.

  • Laudanum is a healing tonic. It can be consumed as is, or crafted into a syringe to be more effective.

  • When a player is 'down' (crawling), they will need to rest to recover. They can crawl there, or be carried by a teammate to a bed where they will be revived. A jab from a laudanum syringe will also do the trick.

  • Beds can be found in the main ship or at different locations throughout the world.

Inventory
  • Right-Click items to quick transfer between your personal inventory and containers, bodies, stoves, workbenches etc.

  • Certain items of the same type can be stacked.

  • You can craft a bag to allow for more inventory space.

The naughty stuff...
Bone Daggers are used by Thralls to cast spells (press B by default) to pull out your bone dagger. I suggest somewhere private. Anyone found carrying these, should be deemed untrustworthy.

Totems are built by Thralls to increase the power of spells (Press Q, select, then Left-Click). If found by an Explorer... destroy the totem on sight.



Spells:

Whiteout
Generates a blizzard that blocks vision for everyone. Players can see maybe a metre in front of them at best.





Cannibals
Summons a horde of cannibals to attack an unsuspecting player.






Spirit Walk
Allows Thralls to travel unseen and at a greater speed - great for getting out of sticky situations.






Thrall Vision
Thrall Vision does not require a bone dagger. Thralls can press V to see the location of players, totems and food across the map.





What can a Thrall do?
Thralls can thwart the expedition through many means:
  • Poisoning food (craft poison and drag onto food to taint it).
  • Blowing up the ship (craft powderkegs out of gunpowder and barrels, left click and then drop them somewhere on the ship with F (default).
  • Sabotaging the boiler (simply add gun powder when the boiler is running).
  • And many more devious tactics...

1 thing that i've learned is that you can hold tab to access your hotbar, drag a rock over a sabre to repair it by 50 percent
