Survival 101: How to not Die

Make an axe as soon as you start the game (1 rock + 1 wood stick)
Build a Hut as soon as you can so you can safe your game
You can harvest large rock by right clicking it for more option
Large item that can’t be put into inventory can be put for crafting either by dragging it or right clicking it for more options
Don’t drink unsafe water (even if you’re dying of thirst), its way harder to cure dystentry than dehydration
The magnifying glass on your status bar shows that there are unresolved diseases and wound on your body, it is very useful on telling you that there are leeches in your body
Leave out coconut havles in the open so when it rain, it will collect the rainwater (the rainwater is safe and drinkable)
If something leads to your death, don’t do it again
Manage your sanity, keep it above by eating cooked meat and resting in shelter
Cut off plants (not banana or palm) and leave the leaves to dry off into usable tinder
Don’t throw away rotten food, there might be edible grubs that you can find by harvesting rotten food
You’re not a cow, don’t eat leaves
If it looks poisonous, it probably is (Congrats on having functional Instinct)
Watch out for your sanity, Its don’t starve tier and can actually spawn monster that will kill you
Don’t poke the wasp nest, don’t poke the ant nest either
Remember the small valley shown in developer survival guide? look for it because its the safest place in the entire game
Inspecting body while your inventory is open will highlight any disease, especially useful for finding leech
Do not fight the jaguar, the meat is not very nutritious and the game hasnt provided the option to make armor out of its fur yet.
Normal frog = good, Neon frog = bad
You get ash and charcoal from burnt out campfire, ash can be used to make a high quality bandage, while charcoal can be eaten to filter out snake venom
Medium shelters can only save and demands you to build a bed afterward, but the smaller shelter are not only easier to craft, it provides a little bit of both. The shelter quality might be related to chances of getting a disease when you sleep.
There are no maps. so like a true survivalist, Draw a map in your head. Try to forage in a circle around your camp rather than in a straight line from your camp. You can get lost very easy.
Roasted Meat (except snake meat) restore sanity when eaten, you can eat as many and hunt as many to fill up your sanity meter

Anthropologist Guide to the Indigenous people of Amazon

You can’t befriend any of the tribals yet so feel free to go Collombus on them
If a tribal sees you and runs away, you better chase after him or he will return to your base in group
Use spear to fight off tribal, other weapon will risk you getting in their knife range
Take distance between melee tribal, their knife is short but you’re more likely to die from bleeding because bandages are rare and banana leaf bandage from the trailer isn’t implemented yet
Don’t charge at tribal if they are also charging, charge is effective on archers since they cant fight back at melee and when they swap their weapon, use this opportunity to shank them
Flawed pathfinding AI allows you to cross natural log bridge to lose your tail as enemies cannot use the bridge
If you attacked by tribal in group of two and survived, you better move your base as the next one will be in a group of three
If you are hungry, butchering human provides meat and bones that can be stewed, eating it raw or roasting it will cause sanity penalty
You can safelty kill tribals from distance using bow and arrows which are easy to craft, but you cannot do it with low stamina since drawing bow without skill will take at least half of your stamina

Amazonian Cookbook

The Ultimate Bone Soup (and making soup in general)

Create a Small Campfire
Drag or put coconut halves (aka. coconut bowl) on one of its two slot
Make sure it’s filled with water
Drag a piece of bone into the bowl
Turn on the campfire
Wait until it is boiled, then feel free to consume it

Boiled Water

1 Coconut canteen full of water
Put 2 coconut bown on each side of the campfire for maximum effectiveness
Pour the water to each of the bowl
Boil for a few minutes
Use a second coconut canteen if you want to collect the water

Antivenom Infusion

1 Bowl of water
1 Purple flowered/heart leaved herb or Tobacco leaves
Boil for a few minutes

Fever Infusion

1 Bowl of water
1 Amara Flower (big bush with red flower)
Boil for a few minutes
Will instead give you more fever because of a bug

Antiparasitic Infusion

1 Bowl of water
1 Cup shaped mushroom
Boil for a few minutes
Kill more parasite than if eating the shroom raw

Meat Stew

1 Piece of any fresh meat
1 Bowl of water
Boil the meat like usual
More nutritious but doesnt change sanity like roasted meat, use this to mask the sanity reducing effect of eating insects

Green Hellbarium

Guide about plants on this game, i included its common name for my own amusement. The name i put may be inmacurate but the description should be good enough.

Edible

Red Cup Shaped Shroom: Cure Parasite and satiates a little amount of carbs, known as scarlet cup
Brown oyster mushroom that glows green at night: Small carbs but is safe, is listed as two different mushroom in the notebook despite of being the same mushroom, commonly known as ghost mushroom
Blue tree shroom: My guess it its some kind of mycena (is supposedly psychoactive, no effect in the current build)
Umbrella shaped shroom: similar shape as above’s above, this mushroom is called liberty cap and they are what we commonly refer to as magic shroom due to its psychedelic effect
Yellow tomato-looking Fruit (not the actual orange): Good for carbs and hydration. Is called cocona if i am not mistaken, might actually just a wild tomato
Cassava (Big brownish whiteish bulb): High carbs, cook/boil it first
Heart of Palm (From cutting medium palms): High carbs
Palm tree nuts: Alternative source of Fats

Not Edible

Ball-headed white-skirted mushroom aka. Stinkhorn: inedible, cause food poisoning (I learnt it the hard way). Sometime spit out gas (actually its spore) when harvested. Fun fact: In real life, this mushroom is supposed to be edible, because I’ve eaten one myself and dev better have reasoning behind this discrimination against unattractive looking mushroom
That green cassava looking scaly bulb you get from some random fern: Gives food poisoning
The same flower from the same fern that is obviously the above bulb in its blossom form: Also gives you food poisoning

Medicinal

Banana Leaves: You can also make bandage out of it (But you actually can’t yet, but I just want to remind you that the developer intended for you to be able to make banana leaf dressing)
Molineria leaves: Can be made into bandage, know by its yellow flower, is easier to find by looking for its distinctively shaped leaves
Tobacco Leaf: Cure venom if made into bandage or stewed
Quassia Amara flower: (looks like cassava plant but has spear shaped flower): used for fever reducing stew. A famous decodition against malaria (once it gets into the game)
Heart leafed purple flowered herb: Cure venom like tobacco plant but can only be eaten or stewed. Its common name is Plantain Lily or specifically for this peculiar herb: wide brimmed hosta.

Wildlife Conservation Handbook

Below are the list of the native wildlife within the amazon jungle. I will only list and explain all of the animal encountered within the game alongside with strategy on how you can find them.

Mammals

Mammals are your best source of nutrient and can easily found anywhere within the game, importantly, their meat provides fats alongside with high protein

Mouse: Low quality meat; Often caught in small trap or manually if you have the time
Jaguar: Medium quality meat; Extremely dangerous, but can be one hit with a spear throw from a distance
Peccary: High quality meat; Best hunt by spear
Capybara: Highest quality meat; Best hunt by spear

Fish

Fish are very easy to hunt and fish traps often provided catches, but they do not provide fats when cooked

Aronawa: Medium quality meat: found on most ponds
Stingray: Medium quality meat: found only on the safe valley pond
Piranha: Low quality meat: found everywhere but safe valley pond, can be caught by fish trap
Peacock Bass: Low quality meat: found everywhere, can be caught by fish trap

Insects

Goliath Birdeater Tarantula (yes I know): low quality meat: Found on the jungle usually nearby giant trees, listen for crackling sound to know if it is near
Scorpion: High quality meat: Found inside caverns, and will make crackling sound similar to the tarantula
Wasps: Nest can be broken with stone or axes for honey, will give rash if you get too near
Rainforest Ants: You can try to carefully approach it to collect the ants, but getting too near will give you rashes. The ants itself cannot be eaten in any way and only used to close laceration wounds
Maggots: found on dead carcass and harvested from rotten meat, used to treat infections or as a fishing bait
Larva: found on dead tree stumps or rotten vegetatives, can be stewed, but mostly used as fishing bait
Worms: will inject itself to your body if you sleep in low quality bed, but can inject into you regardless on hard difficulty. You will need to use sharp needles to remove it and bandage the wound. Is mention by dev to actually be a botfly larva rather than actual worm.
Leech: will occasionally latch onto your body and you will have to remove it, annoying but not really that dangerous

Other

Green Iguana: Medium quality meat: Can be caught on small traps, but you can run after it as it doesn’t move that much fast
Macaw: Medium quality meat: Mostly found dead lying on the ground but might be huntable using bow and arrow (not sure about the last part, but someone should definitely try different way to get the macaw, I suck at first person archery soo…)
Rattlesnake: Low quality meat, found on stationary position and will not move around other than rotating, throw your spear from close quarter, two rock throws seems to be enough too
Cane Toad: Low quality meat, found hopping around near rivers, can also be caught in small traps

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

This is where I include questions and problems that are often asked or complained in the review and discussion forum to help people solve the most notorious problem in the game.

Q: How do I manage sanity? why are hallucinated tribal keeps attacking me?
A: You should keep your sanity up by at least 80% to make sure that you wont even start hearing voices. At lower than 50% sanity, those tribal hallucination will start spawning and acutally deals damage to you. Things to do:

Eating well roasted meat
Staying near fire
Sleeping in a good quality bed
Taking off leeches

Things you should not do:

Eating insects
Leaving diseases untreated, especially worms & leech
Sleeping without shelter

Q: Why do I keep getting attacked by tribals? how do I get rid of them?
A: The tribals in green hell no longer spawn in to attack you periodically, now they mind their own business such as singing, foraging, patrolling, and resting. Should you approach them or be seen by them, then they will attack you. You can easily avoid them by hearing their singing.
