Resting has a visible cost

Camps can damage you while you sleep. The launch hands-on report describes checking the projected damage at a campsite before committing, rather than treating rest as a free reset.

Make the campsite safer first

Lighting fires and removing nearby dangers can improve a campsite. Do the safety work before deciding whether the remaining damage is acceptable.

Fights refresh exploration stamina

Combat restores the stamina used by the exploration deck. If the next encounter is manageable, advancing may preserve more health than taking a dangerous rest.

What is not verified yet

Exact damage formulas, Warmth breakpoints and path-specific modifiers are still in the capture queue. They will be added only after the current Early Access build is tested.
