A specific array of items is vital for survival in the game and players should make sure to pick up Twigs, Flint, Stones, Fiber, Leather, Leaves, Medical Plans, Fish Iron Ore, Titanium Ore and Sulfur Ore in order for them to prevent dying from starvation as well as make a custom weapon.

Departing from the beach is not the way to go at the preliminaries of the game. Before going out its bounds, players should make it a point to get to level 5 backpack inventory space as well as collect stockpile of food to keep them going, and weapons and leather garments for defense.
