Welcome to Calvary Hamlet: New World, a challenging blend of survival and strategy. Here are essential first steps:
Core Starting Priorities
Focus on these immediate actions:
- Gather Basic Resources: Collect Wood (branches, logs) and Stone immediately. These are fundamental for tools, building, and defense.
- Build Simple Shelter: Craft a Workbench first. Use it to construct basic walls and a roof before nightfall for safety.
- Secure Food & Water: Search nearby bushes for berries, collect mushrooms. Prioritize finding a Water Source (river, lake) and craft a Water Collector or Canteen soon.
Crafting & Progression
- Essential Tools: Craft a Stone Axe (wood, stone, rope) and Stone Pickaxe (wood, stone). Upgrade to metal tools when possible.
- Workbench Priority: Build this ASAP at your shelter. It unlocks vital crafting recipes for better tools, weapons, and structures.
- Research Station: Construct this early to unlock advanced technologies using Research Points gathered from exploring/looting.
Survival Mechanics
- Monitor Vital Stats: Constantly check your Hunger, Thirst, and Stamina. Low levels directly impact health and efficiency.
- Manage Inventory Wisely: Space is limited. Prioritize essential tools, building materials, food, and water early on. Craft storage chests quickly.
- Combat Awareness: Hostile creatures spawn frequently. Start with simple melee weapons (clubs, spears) and avoid unnecessary fights. Build simple spike traps near your base.
Key Early Structures
- Shelter & Walls: Your primary defense zone.
- Workbench: Crafting hub.
- Research Station: Progression unlock.
- Water Collector: Sustainable water.
- Storage Chests: Essential inventory management.
