Core survival rules

The best strategy is consistent: avoid night greed, return with stamina, keep food buffered, and enter trials with a plan.

Keep a food buffer

A reserve prevents forced night scavenging and makes trial attempts less desperate.

Return before dark

Treat dusk as a warning to reset, not as extra exploration time.

What helps most in long runs?

Consistent food reserves, planned daylight loops, and early trial preparation help more than rushing.
