Brains
Brains are one of the main enemy groups you meet in dungeons. Do not take them on until you have your combat gear and skills in order.
Automata
Automata are mechanical enemies found in dungeons. The Automata skill also lets you craft turrets and butler bots.
Dungeon traps
Dungeons are trapped with turrets and spikes as well as enemies. Tackle them only with adequate skill development.
Skills that help you survive
- Combat: gun efficiency, critical hits and bomb damage.
- Agility: move faster and take less physical damage.
- Stamina and Survival: stay alive longer.
Other players
Unprotected builds can be griefed. Use protectors or a private world, and use /report [username] or /mute [username] if someone is causing trouble. If it goes wrong, ask for help in the Discord.
Getting out
/sp teleports you to a world teleporter without dying. /die respawns you at one but does not restore health or steam. See chat commands.
