Food and eating
Select an edible item in Food to eat it and replenish your Food bar. Eating consumes the item. Produce placed in Sell is intended for trading instead.
Your Food bar
Food decreases as you spend time on the island. Activities such as swimming affect it differently. An empty bar can affect movement and health.
Your health bar
Health shows your character’s condition. Injuries reduce it, and daytime recovery can restore it. Food and health are separate bars; eating is not an instant full-health reset.
Breathing underwater
The oxygen display appears underwater and while your breath refills. Breathing at the surface restores it. Running out underwater causes drowning. Use swimming controls in open water; suitable banks allow you to climb out.
