Third eye system

our server uses target also referred to as "third eye" this makes locations and objects interactable by using LEFT ALT. this will be used for things like looting, opening storage, interacting with crafting locations, repairing your base, vehicles and more!


Safe zones

Medics

the local medics inside the safe zones are interactable using third eye. Medics in the safe zones will only heal critical injuries - dead or downed. If you're able to walk and talk use medical supplies!

If you go down while exploring a sentinel will be alerted, if any are available they should come and assist you.


Crafting

after interacting with the bench you will be given a menu which allows you to start different processes depending on the bench and location.

There is a few benches located in the safe zone!


Cooking

You can start the cooking process on any campfire found in the world.

Storage

survivors have access to personal storage inside the safe zone.


customization

Survivors have the ability to customise their appearance inside the safe zone.


Mailboxes

survivors can send mail as a method of communication. You can do this by using the third eye on any mail related objects found in the world. (Thanks to ArslanRuslan)


The Wild

outside the safe zone is referred to as the wild. Its a dangerous place filled with infected and chaos - BE PREPARED!

Looting / Scavenging

using the third eye you can loot objects like bins, bags, crates and other things to find supplies


Hunting

Any animals in the wild can be hunted and cooked for a food source.

You can also pick berries and find other food sources if your not a fan of hunting!


Base Building

Survivors have the ability to build their own bases in the wild. you will need to gather the resources and build the required parts at certain construction benches found in the wild.
