General Gameplay Tips
- Item and Container Respawn: Exiting and relaunching the game will cause all items and containers to respawn. It is currently unclear if this behavior is intended.
- Hotkey Assignment: Hotkeys can be assigned by hovering over an item in your inventory and pressing any number from 0 to 9. Pressing that key will then bring up the item.
- Befriending Virginia: To befriend Virginia, simply avoid harming her. She will eventually warm up to you.
- Kelvin and Base Entry: Kelvin can enter your base, though not always reliably. Building a chair inside your base can encourage him to go inside more often.
- Reviving Companions: Virginia and Kelvin can be revived if they are knocked down by an NPC. However, they will not revive if you kill them yourself, or if they are knocked down and then killed by an NPC.
