Tutorial panels
Dismantling
Many objects can be dismantled for resources - either broken with a proper weapon, or taken apart by holding F. Vents can be destroyed or dismantled.
Crafting
As a scientist, you find inspiration all around you! Gain new crafting Recipes and Ideas by picking up resources, interacting with items, packaging furniture, and the occasional email. Press 'C' to access your CRAFTING & RESEARCH menu. Some Recipes are craftable right away, but Ideas must first be invented. You’ve learned the Recipe for THROW NETS - now craft some!
Radiation
When you encounter RADIATION, you will see small speckles or dots in your vision, increasing in intensity with the radiation strength. A little won't hurt, but long-term exposure will harm you without protection.
Portal Worlds
You’re about to venture out of the Facility for a while. You’ll be able to return through a return portal, but you may want to do a little preparation, like bringing some food and ensuring you’re well rested. If you die in a portal world, you can choose to respawn at the Portal World entrance, or at another spawn point in the Facility.
Check-In Terminals
Check-In Terminals are places where you can return to if you die - a respawn point. You can only save to one Check-In Terminal at a time. This respawn will be available alongside other options, such as respawning at your bed or other starting area.
Pour On Ground
Whether you've got a liquid container you no longer want, or you've made a bad soup that isn't worth eating, you can pour it on the ground by accessing the context menu on the item in your inventory. In the future, you should use your Soup recipe book in your Compendium to figure out better soups.
