Basic survival

Health

The hardest bar to fulfill. Hardest, because in order to fulfill it you need food cooked on Stove or to craft Medicine.

Hunger

The hardest bar to fulfill after Health. Hardest, because in order to fulfill it you need actual food. It is reducing at 0.001% per second. You can fulfill it by eating one of the following: Oranges, Watermelons, Bananas, Berries, Bread or any food cooked on Stove. See Starting surviving section for tutorial on how to get those.

Thirst

The easiest one to fulfill is Thirst. It is also the fastest to reduce at 0.002% per second. The simplest solution would be jumping into water and pressing your use key ( E by default ). But take note that at earlier levels you lose Oxygen extremely fast. Also you get fulfill your thirst by drinking Bottled Water or eating Berries. See Starting surviving section.

Oxygen

It will reduce underwater based on your Swimming level. The higher you Swimming is, The slower it will reduce. It will increase if you are not fully underwater.

Power

This bar will only show if you have a Flashlight in your inventory. It will increase and decrease depending if your flashlight is enabled or not. The more Batteries you have, the slower it will decrease.

Starting Survival

Gathering resources

In-game you would need a lot of different resources to build.
+ To get Wood you need to punch a tree anywhere on the map with your fists or a hatchet.
+ To get Stone you need to punch a rock anywhere on the map with your fists or a pickaxe.
+ To get Copper or Iron Ore you need to punch a rock anywhere on the map with a pickaxe.
+ To get Water Bottles you need to stand near water and press E on it.
+ To get Herbs, Berries or Seeds you need to press E on the ground.

Gathering Food

The first thing you want to do after you have spawned is to get some food to survive, but you will need to get seeds first.

In order to do so, aim at ground ( And dirt/gravel surface ), and press your use key. This will start Harvesting process. Once finished you will be given some items, some of which can be seeds. If you failed to get anything just keep trying.

Once you got some seeds you will need to plant them. There are 4 ways to do so:

Chat commands - open chat and type one of these commands depending on what you want to plant: !orange !melon !banana !berrybush
Console commands - open console and type one of these commands depending on what you want to plant: gms_plantorange gms_plantmelon gms_plantbanana gms_plantbush
Q Menu - Press Q and click on the desired seeds to plant them.

Just remember to aim at ground to plant them.

Now that you have planted some seeds you will have to wait until they grow up. It takes some time, so you better go and build yourself a shelter.

+ +

Building Shelter

In Garry's Mod Stranded shelter means something above your head. It can be anything as long as it is above your head. + If you have tried spawning anything you probably noticed that it will spawn a blue wire frame of wanted object, instead + of actual prop. This is because you need resources to build something. Usually you want to build out of wood because it + is easy to get. So, with that being said, get yourself to a tree and start hitting it with your fists. You will fail sometimes + to get anything but once you of you keep trying you will get enough wood to build yourself a shelter. It is recommended to get + 16 wood and build yourself a 4x4 PHX wood plate and place it above your head. Once done, you should move on to building yourself + some proper tools.

+ +

Why do I need a shelter?

Shelter is needed so you don't lose Health while you are sleeping.

It is also a good idea to get yourself a sleeping furniture from "Mixed - Sleeping Furniture" as it speeds up your sleep by the factor of 2.

+ +

Crafting Tools

In order to create yourself some tools, you will need to build yourself a workbench. There are 9 tiers of tools: Stone, Copper, Iron, Tech, Silver, Gold, Steel, Platinum, and Mithril.

At first you want to build a Stone Workbench. In order to do so you need to hold Q, open Commands tab and press Structures button. + You can also press F3 and click on Structures button. Once there, click on Stone Workbench and click Build. It will create familiar + blueish build site. Note: You can't have more then one build site at once. Structures will require quite a lot of resources, so don't + rush to build them. Once you have build it, press use key on it. It will open you a weapon crafting window. For there you want to craft + Stone Pickaxe and Stone Hatchet. Next you want to build Stone Furnace to smelt Copper Ore gained by using Stone Pickaxe and so on.

+ +

Making campfire at night

It may prove difficult to do anything at night due to the fact that you have to craft + a Flashlight to use it. So, what you can do is make yourself a campfire! To make one, you need a few pieces of wood. One you have them, + you need to spawn a campfire entity which is located under structures in the Q menu. + Another way to aquire a campire is to build one, to do so you will need to spawn a small wooden prop because it costs less wood. + Then you need to aim at that prop and start making the campfire. You can type !campfire to in chat or use the gms_makefire console + command to create it.

You can also cook on your campfire. You can open Cooking menu by pressing your use key ( E by default ) on it. For a permanent cooking ability you should build yourself a Stove.

+ +

Managing Resources

You can drop your resources if you have too much. You can do this either by using the Q menu or !drop [Resource Type] [Amount] chat + command. But there is a problem with that. Too many resource boxes lying around can cause the server to lag really badly. So, if the + server owner have enabled Zombies at night, some of your resources drops will disappear at midnight. In order to prevent this you + should create yourself a Resource Pack from Structures menu. Resource Packs don't disappear at night.

To store resources into a Resource Pack or a Resource Drop you simply stand close to it and drop resources from your inventory. + Dropped resources are automatically stored into closest Resource Pack or Resource Drop.

Another way to store resources into Resource Pack or to put them into a Buildsite is to simply pickup a Resource Drop and push it into Resource Pack or Buildsite.

+ +

Skills

In Garry's Mod Stranded, almost every your action is tied to a skill. + The higher you skill is, the faster and more efficient you are at doing that action. + The global level cap is 200 for every skill except for Survival. + Survival Level increases by 20% with each other skill leveled up. + With each Survival Level you gain +5 backpack size.

Some skill levels will be required to craft higher tier items. For example Weapon Crafting and Cooking.

Some specific skill levels will grant you Unlocks. For more info on that see Unlocks section.

If you want to invite a player to your tribe, you can type !invite to do so. This will not prompt that player to enter a + password, so you don't need to share it.
