01FIELD NOTES
New Encounters Since v1.1.4
| Event | What changes your plan |
|---|---|
| Friend Found | Leaving alone can allow a later shipmate rescue. |
| Junker | Offers a use for accumulated junk. |
| Hunger | Starvation without food can trigger a desperate eating choice. |
| Small Island | Visit yourself for a chance at Coconut, or send a shipmate. |
| Sickness | Keep medical supplies available before taking food risks. |
02FIELD NOTES
Rescue: Airplane and Cargo Ship
Signal with a Flare Gun or Flashlight, then keep surviving until rescue. The newer countdown replaces advice that treats every subsequent night as a fresh rescue lottery. No fixed wait length is published in the patch notes.

03FIELD NOTES
Community Counter Notes
These are community observations. Check your health and supplies before acting: a counter may protect you at the cost of damage or equipment.
| Encounter | Reported response | Caution |
|---|---|---|
| Kraken | Anchor or Harpoon | Serious damage or item loss remains possible |
| Anglerfish | Harpoon or Flashlight | Item loss and damage vary by outcome |
| Seagull | Feed to pursue its ending; repel otherwise | Keeping birds changes the run |
04ENDING SPOILERS
True End / Pay Back Your DebtReveal spoilers +
True End / Pay Back Your Debt
These refer to the same Steam objective. The developer confirms that an earlier Kraken encounter no longer closes the route. Keep collecting Heart Parts rather than abandoning the run.
- Community route: collect three Heart Parts, then reach the relevant Kraken / Heart encounter.
- Players report parts from the red-sea encounter, chests, fishing, and occasionally Row's dialogue. These are random opportunities, not a guaranteed day-by-day sequence.
- Exact drop rates, danger thresholds, and dialogue timing are community observations and are not verified here.
05FIELD NOTES
When You Have No Answer
The developer explicitly allows trying to sleep when you have no useful item. Read the encounter first: sleeping is an available choice, not a universally safe one.
