Survival Handbook
Environmental hazards such as heat, cold, toxic air and more require the use of the state-of-the-art suit you are wearing to stay alive, too bad your suit uses a lot of battery power sustaining life support! Here is what you’ll need to do to survive:

• During the day, your suit is designed to absorb sunlight and power the battery.

• Press ‘=’ to enter the Block Manager and check the box for ‘Machinery’ to see what you can make.

• You have one Central Power HUB block in your inventory, use it to turn harvested resources into power to charge adjacent machinery.

• Build Torches to heat your suit during the night time.

• Dig deep for rare resources such as Gold, Lithium and Iron.

• Pay close attention to the battery discharge rate on your suit, a Blue Bar indicates that extreme cold is affecting your suit whereas a Red Bar indicates extreme heat. When the bar is Green your suit is not currently being drained to maintain a livable temperature.

• Use of the Jetpack and the Headlamp items cause faster depletion of your battery.

• Watch out for mechanical spiders!
