Survival: Fountain of Youthhas all the ingredients of a great survival game that many fans of the challenging genre will eagerly want to sink their teeth into. The game provides many obstacles for players to overcome right from the beginning, from maintaining player health and warding off negative status effects, to exploring the unknown wilderness and crafting essential items for survival.
One common feature insurvival and adventure gamesthat may be taken for granted is the game’s map, which players will not be able to access so easily inSurvival: Fountain of Youth.This adds another layer of difficulty, as they won’t be able to note their position as clearly or identify areas where crucial resources can be found. This, however, can be resolved if players knowhow to draw maps inSurvival: Fountain of Youth.
How To Map Regions in Survival: Fountain of Youth
To fit with the endurance and discovery themes ofSurvival: Fountain of Youth, players will not only need to traverse the wilderness in search of food, water, and shelter, they’ll also need to get a lay of the land to strategize theirsurvival on the game’s islands. To do this, they will need to climb the tallest trees on the island and draw a map of the environment.
To map the regions in the game, players will need to climbCartographer’s Treeswith a rope ladder during the day and draw the map using Mapping Charcoal. The trees are very easy to identify inSurvival: Fountain of Youth, as they are significantly taller than any other environmental landmarks in the game, so you will be able to spot them from great distances.
While this sounds simple, in theory, it will require players to collect and craft a few resources before they can complete the task, namely theLiana Rope and Mapping Charcoalneeded to craft the map.
Mapping can only be performed during the day, as players will need the sunlight to get a clear view of the surroundings.
How to Get Mapping Charcoal
An essential component to mapping regions isMapping Charcoal, which essentially operates as your pencil when drawing up a map. It is a relatively simple resource to make, but there are a few requirements you need to fulfill first. For starters, players will need to get twoShort Sticks, then they will need to build a fireplace and ignite it. Short Sticks areone of the many variations of woodthat you can find on the different trees on the islands, but these are one of the easiest to find, as they are on most small trees or in scrap piles that can be dismantled, and they do not require any tools to harvest.
Once you have both of the above, crafting Mapping Charcoal is a simple matter of interacting with the fireplace to bring up the crafting menu, where you can also cook any raw foods and medicinal plants you have harvested, and select the Mapping Charcoal option at the very bottom. As it is a small resource with minimal components, the crafting time is very short.
How to Craft Rope in Survival: Fountain of Youth
The other crucial component to mapping a region isLiana Rope, as players will need to climb the incredibly tall Cartographer’s Trees scattered throughout the islands to draw the details of the surroundings from up there. To get to the top of the tree, players will need to fashion a ladder, which can be done by crafting some rope.
To craft rope, players will need to acquire two items;Liana and Narrow Leaves. Liana can be found onlarge trees that have thick vinesaround them, which can be identified on the map by the circular vine symbol. Narrow Leaves are more readily available, as they can be found anywherealong the coast, either on Palm Trees or lying loose on the ground.
