Biomes
Anyway, back to biomes!
In The Survivalists, each world is a set of randomly generated islands, and last time we covered how you will be getting between these islands in this nautical themed island orientation: https://steamcommunity.com/games/897450/announcements/detail/2758971956342546507
This week we look at some of the environmental dangers and biomes you will need to traverse with more care! Or at least, to take a minute and appreciate the wonder.
Ouch - that hurts!
Some of the island's biomes will be extremely inhospitable to budding Surivivalists.
The swamps for example are patrolled by trillions of flying nuisances that will try to drain any unprepared 'suckers' dry of their life blood.
If you wander too far into a swamp and perish, getting your items back could prove extremely difficult. However, these lands have rare resources and items to find so the risk is definitely worth it!
The elixir... of life?
To survive the harshness of the swamp, you require an elixir. To craft one you'll need to build a cauldron, to craft a glass bottle to hold the magical medicine and then the elixir itself from various things you can scavenge from the islands!
To take it, you just need to glug down the liquid and the buff will appear over your health where it will start the timer for its continued effects. Once that timer runs out, you'll once again be vulnerable to the elements. So be sure to keep an eye on that bar!
Ooo toasty!
We can't wait for you to head out into the world of The Survivalists and experience all of it's wonders and marvels... even if some of them are extremely deadly.
Thanks for reading everyone, we have some more exciting news on the run-up to launch so keep your eyes peeled on our announcements!
