Savage Lands

Your fight for survival begins on the frozen shores of a mysterious island, where bitter cold and vicious creatures conspire to defeat the unprepared. Uncover the land’s dark history as you and fellow castaways explore and conquer the hostile wilderness of Savage Lands.

Setting Up
In Savage Lands you are provided with a myriad of configuration options to allow for a smooth gameplay experience ranging from keybindings to your audio and visual settings. If the default control scheme does not work for you, then remember that you can change any of the key bindings to suit your needs including the sensitivity of your mouse movement. It is also recommended to configure the game's audio and video options based on your computer's hardware.

Server Information
Savage Lands allows for both offline and online play if you so choose. Characters you created, including their full inventory, are not restricted to one world. They can join any world you choose, either in multiplayer or offline single player. Creating your own multiplayer game can be done either through hosting from within the game menu.

Hosting
 * Currently the maximum amount of players within a hosted session is limited to 8. If you decide to host your own game then you will be greeted by a pop up box asking if you would like to set your world to Friendly (players are unable to attack other players) or Hostile (player vs player combat is enabled), and you can change that to either option each time you host a world. Upon loading into your hosted game, you can change your Host Options to add a required password to enter, set it so that only your friends may join, or even just leave it open for anyone to join which is its default setting.

Getting Started
You have been exiled from your people, and you have now run aground upon the mysterious island Snowmere. With nothing but a Journal and your wits, you will have to survive this new and hostile environment. Within the vicinity, you will be able to find several very useful and basic items. The resources that you find will only get you so far, you will need to cut down trees, mine rocks, nodes or ice in order to create items that will protect you from the savagery of the islands of Tarvhas.

Hunting and Gathering
In order to survive you will need food to prevent starvation. Cooking meat from the animals of the island is a great source of food, and if it is a non hostile animal that is your target then it is recommended to use a Wood Bow to take it down from afar. It is possible to sneak up on them as well, but it would require cunning to not alert the deer to your presence. To minimize the sound of your footsteps you can by default hold CTRL, but also be wary of any plants in your way, as animals can pick up on even the slightest bit of sound.
