=== Combat === | === Combat === | ||
For player defense against hostile creatures, craft stone weapons by knapping. Different weapons have different ranges. [[Spear]]s are the strongest long range weapon in the stone age, but break quickly. Create a stone spearhead by knapping, and combine with a stick (shaft) in the crafting grid to finish the spear. Knives, axes, or just plain sticks can all be used as weapons, but these have shorter ranges than the spear. In an emergency, small stones can be thrown at mobs. | |||
=== | == Temporal Stability == | ||
[[File:Tempgear.gif|right]] | |||
By now a player might be wondering about the cyan gear between the health and satiety bar. This is the temporal stability meter, the level of color in the gear indicates the player's current temporal stability. As a player's temporal stability reduces, the gear turns counter clockwise and the blue color in the gear decreases. When increasing, the gear's color returns as it turns clockwise. If temporal stability reaches zero, the player's vision will change drastically, and bad things tend to happen. | |||
'''Draining temporal stability''': | |||
* Some surface areas are temporally unstable | |||
* Caves, underground caverns, and places below surface level are generally more unstable than the surface of the world | |||
* Temporal storms (occur at regular intervals) | |||
'''Recovering temporal stability''': | |||
* | * Move to a location of high stability on the surface or at higher elevations in the world | ||
* | * Transfer the temporal stability from a temporal gear: hold the gear in the left hand, a knife in the right hand, and hold <code>right mouse button</code> to provide a 30% boost | ||
* | * Killing drifters releases small amounts of temporal stability | ||
