This is not spoiler free!
This is for early game + some hints you may or may not missed in early midgame
Read on your own risk!!!

- do not build you base at spawn. You will waste time travelling
- do not bother with cooking early game
- do not pickup everything
- do not be scared of night at early game. for YOU It's just a time

- Craft a push cart AND USE IT. Make's your hauls more plentifull
- Collect light sources. Currently they work even at "night"
- Haul water tanks to your base. There is no reason for them to be anywhere else
- You can buy snacks for money you occasionally find in office desks. It's perfect for early game as you don't waste slots for meat
- check email photos. Some nice recipies are there and you don't wanna miss those
- touch items even if you don't have an invetory space.
The science team in GATE facility have a preschooler mindset.
That means the object doesn't exist in their mind (and crafting recipies) until you hold an item for a first time
- get a habit to "touch" various doors. Most locations in this game are designed to be hard to reach only once! Also If you feel you wen't to far there are usualy a passage right back to where you begun (do not try to find it. It's just a fun fact to annoy you)

Fair note. Apparently there is more eficient way to manage batteries. I'm no scientist and I won't copy someone's guy work until I figure it out myself, so go read another manual :)





Keep in mind 1 is plenty for beginning but at some point cooking got painfull so I suggest getting 2 to begin with


Level solves your troubles

This is optional build whenever you want!.
There are probably better places to put a base but this one is my favourite because:
- close to office level 3
- close to manufacture
- close to pool
- close to lab with soil for farming
- close to 3 robots you are supposed to kill
- nothing spawns in immediate proximity

Here I provide a visual guide where to put a base:

You can chease dog if you craft 2 arbalets and chain shoot them.
It takes 2 bolts to kill a dog so you can avoid getting damage altogether
Generally you can kill a dog with wooden bat with no armor barely surviving.
Of course you can increase your odds with journal armor and iron pipe bat.
When the dog is charging go out of it's way

Craft a chopinator and make robot walk into it. Works like a charm.
I generally suggest against meeleing it.
Arbalet works but is a wastefull way to kill it.
Also, You'll need to plan your route to not back into a dog or something
You can Actually kite the robots to floor 3 into electrified water (the one you teleport above of after first dimension travel). While this method is 100% free (excluding the need to access floor 3, I would not recommend it to anyone.
This method is relatively easy to pull off, with few unexpected benefits (robot will kill everything in it's path)

What is wrong with you?
When it jumps just move aside. You can easily kill it without any damage

When he charges it's shot keep moving sideways. He'll miss

Soldiers use a gun. And in early game it's better that yours. Close the distance and whack-a-mole

Level 3 office

smash anything wooden
- tables
- couches
- chairs
- metal benches (???)

- You can smash plants for extra plastic

Smash displays

There is a small storage room in labs on office level 2 (near elevator to level 3)

Check labs on office level 2 (near elevator to level 3)

You have to get to level 3 office and teleport to another dimension

Generally can be found in offices but I notice more of it on level 3

Check the labs on office level 2 (near elevator to level 3)

Craft a hacking thing. Hack this door.
If you don't know where this door is then HOW DARE YOU even trying?



Notice. If you somehow run out of resources in early game you are kinda screwed as the first place resources respawn in required you to kill at least 3 robots and some other stuff

just go down there



In the same room as you seen on screenshots above there is a kitchen. Take a fridge from there to your base

In front of level 3 elevator on level 2

On office level 3 in supply room (near elevator)

Get into the vents in this room

Unlock the door.
Crawl up on broken stairs (it's possible)
You are there. congrats!


Craft energy brick.
Make sure you have weapons
Find elevator to level 3.
While looking at it turn left and keep going
You should see this room

The blue gate leads you do huge text saying LEVEL 3 pointing to level 3 elevator

There you'll have to go through portal ONCE. Make sure to find another exit in that dimension
In that dimension you can find geiger counter and tiny forklift.
The location is small and I don't fell like explaining it right now

Don't forget to unlock the door once you teleported back to the facility (silo 2 door)


Kill 3 robots.
Craft hacking terminal
Hack into silo 3
(spooky part)
Get at least one energy thing in foggy place.
Power up the forklift (if you don't know which why are you even reading this)
