The in-game tutorial was a bit rushed, so here's a detailed guide:
Potential spoilers depending on how you'd like to play!
Objective
Your instruction is to keep the jellyfish alive (for as long as possible). Your objective depends. If you'd like to stick to your instruction, ignore any devices with inscrutable purposes, exorbitant repair costs, and/or ominous-sounding interact options.
Food
The jellyfish can stay alive safely without food for roughly 1 day. For every hour that passes beyond the safe threshold, it has a probability to die that keeps increasing until eventual starvation.
Feeding the jellyfish with Dry Food or brine shrimps resets the timer.
Brine shrimps are an alternative to Dry Food items as a food source. The amount of brine shrimps that can hatch from a single Dry Food is random, but is strictly better than using Dry Food to feed the jellyfish directly. It comes, however, at the cost of time, energy, and maintenance. It's important for the player to decide which food source to use depending on their situations.
Oxygen
The jellyfish can stay alive safely without fresh oxygen for roughly 2 days.For every hour that passes beyond the safe threshold, it has a probability to die that keeps increasing until eventual suffocation. This probability stacks with its chance to die from lack of food.
The Oxygen Pump device may fail over time. Repair it and turn it on to restore oxygen supply.
Energy
Some devices constantly consume energy. When you're low on energy, other devices will be forcefully turned off, until there is no more energy left for even yourself, and the game ends. Energy can be obtained in two ways:
- Redeeming Batteries at the main generator. You may gather batteries from expeditions. - Repair the main generator and turn it on to continuously convert Fuel into energy.
In any case, it's necessary to venture outside to obtain the necessary items.
