Tutorial

Welcome to "The Fifth Day Tutorial!" Online Version

Movement and Power
Starting of you can look around using the mouse. you start the tutorial with a Nuclear Cell nearby picking it up using the F key, provides you with power and allows you to move. When you are in Freeplay you start automatically with a Nuclear Cell and a Ultra Capacitor in your inventory.

Nuclear cells are not the only source of power you can find. A solar panel is an example of a different type of power source, while may be heavier and produce a weaker power output than a nuclear cell, it is not radioactive and, therefore cannot be tracked by Geiger counters.

While power sources allow for basic more functionality, in order to execute more energy intensive tasks like running and jumping, a capacitor is required to store built up energy. Picking up capacitor, you can observe as energy is built up in the upper left corner of the HUD. When ready, you can sprint by holding "LeftShift" and moving. Freeplay you will already have a capacitor in your inventory.

Another task you can perform using energy is jumping. You can jump by pressing "Space" the longer you hold the more energy is used the higher you jump. Note: you must have a capacitor attached to your unit. The is no Maximum height for jumping.

You can climb ladders by walking towards it.

Hacking
One Approach to survival is to build a base with defenses. In order to do so you will need to find a construction manual and acquire the necessary resources to build your desired base. Every AI is equipped with an RFID tag which identifies the AI. Relation status for every AI you encounter can also be viewed in the RFID section in the inventory use this to mark intelligence as friendly or hostile.

Hacking is a powerful skill that will allow you to program enemy AI to follow orders. In order to hack and enemy, find and equip a Hacking Tool. Once equipped, holding down left click while locking onto the targeted AI will bring up the hacking console.

For a guided tutorial see Hacking 101

Inventory
You can open your inventory at any time by pressing "I". Items are found based on color-coded rarity.

White --> Abundant

Blue --> Common

Green --> Rare

Yellow --> Unique

Red --> Extraordinary

Magenta --> Unobtainable

HUD Items
The current power output you are producing, a higher power output allows for fast capacitor charging.

The current energy stored in your capacitors; more energy allows for more intensive motor function.

Your current weight, heavier machinery requires more power and energy to maneuver, so keep this in mind when loading up on loot.

Jump Height on Release. (Hold "Space" to charge)
