Shelter

Shelters are created through the use of the Survival skill, and require 3 Slender Tree Trunks, and 20 Spruce twigs. Often, you may find yourself without spruce trees nearby, so it could be a good idea to collect 20 twigs upon finding a spruce as they weigh a negligible amount. Shelters will protect the player from rain and help them retain additional warmth while they sleep.

It is suspected that shelters are also visible to enemy Njerpez warriors, so creating them to rest near war camps may be a bad idea. Shelters can be used as a reagent in drying meat or fish with the Cookery skill.

Bear in mind that Shelters generate a blind spot on the northern side, so be careful of enemies sneaking up on you. Try to build shelters where there is no access from the North. This also can be used to create one-way viewing walls, feel free to experiment.
