Saving mode

You save every time you sleep or when you enter most buildings...at least the buildings/caves that take a moment to load....and it says saving on the right side of the screen briefly.

The game can be pretty difficult for new players.

What difficulty are you starting your games on? What is causing most of your deaths?

When you first start your game your immediate task is try to figure out your bearings/location and head to the nearest shelter you can find.

You then should try to find whatever clothing you are missing to stay warm and not get frostbite. Any body part with no covering will get frostbite eventually if you stay outside for any length of time. Some difficulties you start with no hat or gloves, so you really need to keep an eye out for hats and gloves.

The other thing you need to do is start a fire so you can melt snow and then boil the snow for safe drinking water. Ideally you will find a shelter with a fire barrel, fire place, or wood stove so you can make a fire where you are safe from the elements.

You can light a fire almost anywhere on flat terrain outside, but it can be blown out and it won't keep you as warm as inside.

You can melt and then boil snow at any fire you start. You don't need a container or to harvest the snow. It is just an option when you select a fire, like adding more wood. There should be other icons at the top of the screen for melting/boiling snow and for cooking food that you are able to cook.

Hello,

It would be great that we could have the possibility to save anytime or not restart all the game after die. It is really boring to restart again and again from the beginning.

G'day @torgane, and welcome to the forums!

In addition to what @JoE Smash said, permadeath is an important part of the game. It makes you much more aware of how important every choice and decision you make is, just as it would be if you really were in such a situation. It means you're much less likely to take stupid chances.

Permadeath is one of the best features of the game.

I agree with keeping permadeath as it makes the game more difficult, but a save system would be nice so I would not need to enter buildings to save, as they can be in short supply at times. I always like the skyrim/fallout save system where you save any time from the pause menu and load at the exact state.
