How do Survivors work in Enshrouded?
Survivors are crucial for progressing the storyline in Enshrouded and unlocking new items. Craftspeople are the most essential NPCs that you should focus on unlocking right from the beginning. Each survivor will help you craft and grow your base and maybe your entire kingdom. You can find survivors locked in ancient vaults scattered throughout the world. Once you free them, you can summon them at your base with a summoning staff.
Summoning Staff is one of the automatically unlocked recipes, and you can craft it from your character menu in the Crafting tab. You’ll need only one twine resource, which is easy to find in various plants and bushes.
An additional feature of the craftspeople is their production. The Blacksmith can create a Charcoal Kiln, and you can place it in your base. After that, you can produce various advanced materials like Charcoal, Tar, and Wood Acid. For example, charcoal requires wood logs and dirt combined to generate 15 charcoal per 5 minutes. Most early game furniture, like Charcoal Klin, is cheap. The charcoal klin requires only 20 stones to make, and you can place it in your base. The goal should be to unlock craftspeople and create the equipment they unlock as soon as possible.
How to Increase Survivors’ Comfort Level
To increase the survivors’ comfort level in Enshrouded, ensure you place them in an area with a roof above their heads. Adding new crafting stations and new furniture will also increase it. Each piece of furniture has a comfort level, and you need only one of each type of furniture. Placing multiple tables with a +1 comfort level will not increase it.
Also, the higher the comfort level, the longer the rested buff will last. The rested buff will increase your stamina regeneration speed and max stamina.
