Bootstrap Island

This is a roguelike experience meant to be played in short bursts, where everything happens quickly and where {{user}} needs to be quick about themselves. There's no generating resources in this game and the amount of available resources is finite. Days are short, and really. Keep an eye on the sun - it moves fast. Time is wildly precious here. The volcano is {{user}}'s main point of orientation. Note the big dry white tree just to the left from the volcano. It'll come in useful later. The jungle essentially is a maze. Don't go wandering too far in if the sun is about to set. {{user}} won't be alone in the jungle. There is a ravine stretching from the beach and across the map toward the volcano, effectively splitting the starting area. Resources, chests, springs and cave-ins all spawn randomly each new game. Chests can spawn at any coast, on the islands, and a bit inland. Wood comes in 3 basic types: long, medium and short. While the first two can also be used in building, the short ones are good only as firewood. Rocks come in small and big types. Big rocks need to be lifted using both hands and can be used to pulverize any unfortunate head. both can be struck with sufficient force to create sparks. Torch can be found in chests from day 1. They have quite a lifetime and you can continue moving through the night if you're feeling brave. Pistol, ammo, and gunpowder can be found in chests from day 1. Loading it consists of several steps:

1. Take the gun by the end of the barrel in one hand (with grip). Remain stationary.
2. Take the gunpowder bottle (with grip) and start pouring it down the barrel. You'll hear the gunpowder slide down. Count to 4-5 and it should be enough. Gunpowder is finite. If you use too much gunpowder, the gun will explode and you'll lose it.
3. Take the bullet (with trigger) and put it in the barrel, you'll hear it slide into place.
4. Move the flint toward the handle side of the gun. You can move it with anything, not just your hand.
5. It's now primed to fire. Always know when it is loaded and when it is not, your life may depend on it. Knife can be found in chests (on day 3 it will be unlocked) and can harvest meat from dead animals when stabbing their corpses in a crazed victory frenzy. You can also use it to unlock chests. Can be heated next to the fire. Bottles can be found in chests (on day 5 it will be unlocked) and can hold coconut water and spring water, as well as rainwater. Careful not to break it! Musket can be found in chests (on day 7 it will be unlocked). Loading it consists of several steps:
6. Take the gun by the end of the barrel in one hand (with grip). Remain stationary.
7. Take the gunpowder bottle (with grip) and start pouring it down the barrel. You'll hear the gunpowder slide down. Count to 4-5 and it should be enough. Gunpowder is finite. If you use too much gunpowder, the gun will explode and you'll lose it.
8. Take the bullet (with trigger) and put it in the barrel, you'll hear it slide into place.
9. Move the flint toward the handle side of the gun. You can move it with anything, not just your hand.
10. It's now primed to fire. Always know when it is loaded and when it is not, your life may depend on it. Satchels can be found in chests (on day 9 it will be unlocked), and you can carry two - one for each shoulder. they can carry most items, except for wood, torches, or the rifle. Book of Building can be found in chests (on day 11 it will be unlocked). Three types of structures can be built - fence, gate and a gazebo with a roof. Only long and medium sticks/wood pieces can be used for building. It's better to stock up on resources first as even one structure sure uses a lot of those. Building process is quite intuitive but time consuming. Place big rocks against gates so Night Terrors can't open them. Medicine Box can be found in chests (on day 13 it will be unlocked). when used, it cures any sicknesses or hallucinations that may occur. Musket Sling can be found attached to muskets (on day 20 it will spawn on muskets in chests) which enables you to attach them to one shoulder. It is a permanent upgrade. In the shipwreck chest is a Gun Holster, a Permanent upgrade that lets {{user}} carry a pistol, bullet box, AND gunpowder in {{poss_p}} belt Coconuts can be found at the beach (and floating in the shallows) and in near jungle, but not so much in deeper jungle. Breaking a coconut depends on what you smack it against: big rock (1 hit), brown/black rocky wall (2 hits), small rock (~4 hits). Just be sure you punch it real good. Coconut meat can be cooked. Harvest the meat with trigger button when holding an opened coconut. Look up palms for high hanging coconuts, shoot em down! Full coconuts can be stabbed with the knife to get the most water from it. If you don't have a knife, hold a coconut with both hands and smash it against any rocky surface. Chances are you end up with two halves in your hands with minimal spilling. Screwpine fruit can be eaten and is found near the sand shelves. It's also found on branched palm-looking trees, just out of reach. eggplants aren't good for you when eaten raw. Cook it first then break it open to consume. Crabs, lizards and frogs can be caught by hand and killed by throwing them against a rocky surface. You can also stab them with a knife or a thin stick, or crush with a rock. You can stack up to 4 crabs on one thin stick, found on/near beaches. If you take the crabs-on-the-stick by both ends of the stick, you can carry it without them falling off. Fish can be killed with the thin stick but are more difficult to catch. Shooting them also works. Also smacking them against rocks. You can eat them alive. Clams can be found on beaches. Smash them against rocks and then open them with your hands. Flowery water springs can be found in the jungle against cliff faces. If there are no flowers above the spring - it's empty. You can dip your entire head into these springs for fastest thirst filling. Feels good on your face too. Dip the opened bottle into the spring water to fill it.
