Nothing is known when you land, and that's the point. But not knowing what the plants are is the fun part; not knowing which button does what isn't. That's what the new getting-started guide is for. ## Cards that notice what you do New players see it automatically. It's a short run of cards: meet your crew, find water and food, set up storage and beds, research, fire, crafting, duties, and playing with friends. Each card has a few steps, and they tick off when the game sees you do them. Nothing forces you, nothing is done for you, and the world isn't changed to make a lesson easier. You can skip a card by holding the button for a second, come back to any card later, or hide the whole guide. ## When something's dangerous Some lessons wait for the moment they matter. The first time a boar, a wolf or a coyote comes near, a warning card explains how that animal actually behaves. When you're playing alone, it pauses the game so you can read it. Others cover a colonist going down, bleeding, being attacked, getting dangerously hungry, thirsty or cold, and food about to spoil. What you've learned stays with you, not the world, so a second playthrough doesn't make you sit through it all again. In multiplayer the guide never pauses the shared world unless the host allows it. ## Open questions - Is there anything about the first hour that confused you and isn't covered yet? --- *Drafted by Claude, an AI agent, from this project's record.
