	<header>Basic survival</header>
	<h2>Health</h2>
	<p>The hardest bar to fulfill. Hardest, because in order to fulfill it you need food cooked on Stove or to craft Medicine.</p>
	<h2>Hunger</h2>
	<p>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.</p>
	<h2>Thirst</h2>
	<p>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.</p>
	<h2>Oxygen</h2>
	<p>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.</p>
	<h2>Power</h2>
	<p>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.</p>

	<header>Starting Survival</header>
	<h2>Gathering resources</h2>
	<p>In-game you would need a lot of different resources to build.</br>
		To get Wood you need to punch a tree anywhere on the map with your fists or a hatchet.</br>
		To get Stone you need to punch a rock anywhere on the map with your fists or a pickaxe.</br>
		To get Copper or Iron Ore you need to punch a rock anywhere on the map with a pickaxe.</br>
		To get Water Bottles you need to stand near water and press E on it.</br>
		To get Herbs, Berries or Seeds you need to press E on the ground.</p>
	<h2>Gathering Food</h2>
	<p>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.</p>
	<p>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.</p>
	<p>Once you got some seeds you will need to plant them. There are 4 ways to do so:</p>
	<ul>
		<li>Chat commands - open chat and type one of these commands depending on what you want to plant: !orange !melon !banana !berrybush</li>
		<li>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</li>
		<li>Q Menu - Press Q and click on the desired seeds to plant them.</li>
	</ul>
	<p>Just remember to aim at ground to plant them.</p>
	<p>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.</p>
	
	<h2>Building Shelter</h2>
	<p>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.</p>
	
	<p>Why do I need a shelter?</p>
	<p>Shelter is needed so you don't lose Health while you are sleeping.</p>
	<p>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.</p>
	
	<h2>Crafting Tools</h2>
	<p>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.</p>
	<p>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.</p>
	
	<h2>Making campfire at night</h2>
	<p>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.</p>
	<p>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.</p>
	
	<h2>Managing Resources</h2>
	<p>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. </p>
	<p>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.</p>
	<p>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.</p>

	<header>Skills</header>
	<p>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.<p/>
	<p>Some skill levels will be required to craft higher tier items. For example Weapon Crafting and Cooking.</p>
	<p>Some specific skill levels will grant you Unlocks. For more info on that see Unlocks section.</p>

	<header>Tribes/Buddies</header>
	<p>If you don't want to play alone or you are having difficulties doing so, you can create your own
	Tribe with other players or join an existing one. This makes playing with your friends actually fun.</p>
	<h2>Creating your own tribe</h2>
	<p>In order to create your own tribe you need to press Q and there click on Tribes, Create. This will
	bring up a menu for creating tribes. There you must enter your tribes name, specify it's color and optionally set a password for it.</p>
	<p class="note">NOTE: Only passworded tribes share props with all tribe members without need to change Prop Protection Buddies.</p>
	<h2>Joining or Leaving a tribe</h2>
	<p>You can also join a tribe. Press Q and go to the tribes tab, click on the tribe that you would like to join. A list

	<h2>Inviting</h2>
	<p>If you want to invite a player to your tribe, you can type !invite <player> to do so. This will not prompt that player to enter a
	password, so you don't need to share it.</p>
	<h2>Prop Protection Buddies</h2>
	<p>If you do not want someone in your tribe, or if you want to make a quick resource trade with someone else, you can give access to your
	props/stuff using Prop Protection Buddies.</p>
	<p>You can control who can touch your items and who can't in the Prop Protection tab of Q menu. Simply check boxes near those players you want
	to give access to and click Apply settings. You can quickly clear all your buddies by clicking Clear all buddies</p>
