Animals, food and fishing.

Who is dangerous

• Horses, goats, hens and burrowkits shy away from you.
• Bears defend themselves.
• Dune lions, gloamstalkers at night (and cave dwellers) and the Ember Drake hunt you. Hunters hunt other animals too, and prey scatter from them.
• In the sea, fish school, reef hunters chase the schools, jellyfish sting and whales drift in the open ocean.

Fighting

Any tool works, but a blade or spear hits hardest. Hitting while you fall lands a critical hit. Spears can be thrown with a right click and picked up again.

Food

Animals drop meat, hide, bone, feathers and more. Cook raw meat and fish on a Campfire or in a furnace (put wood in as fuel). Cooked food fills you twice as much.

Fishing

1. Forge a Fishing Rod (hook, rod and line) in the Craft tab.
2. Right click to cast into water.
3. Right click again quickly when the float dips.

Every creature you meet goes into the Codex (K).
