The second (marked with a stomach) is your hunger rating. Building a campfire and standing by it boosts your health, thankfully. The first (marked with a heart) is your health. In the top left corner of the screen you’ll see three different meters, which represent your general wellbeing. The Abandoned tips and tricks: Stay healthy and don’t go hungry As long as you have enough materials (which can be harvested from the wastelands by walking over them or cutting down trees and other plants), you can make tools, clothes, torches and other essential survival gear. To craft a better weapon, tap the crafting icon in the top right coner of the screen, beside the backpack. The green bar will deplete as you swing, and when it disappears entirely, the item will break. You can see a tool or weapon’s health in the icon at the top of the screen. The basic axes and picks that you craft at the start of the game will expire after cutting several trees or breaking several stones, while more complicated tools will survive for much longer. Simple axes and picks are fine at the beginning, but try to make better ones as soon as possible. The Abandoned tips and tricks: Crafting weapons, tools, torches and more The Quests tab contains info on your active tasks, while the Message Journal tab holds other messages and tips, so you can refresh your memory. Tasks pop up on screen, but you can check them out at any time by tapping the scroll icon at the top right corner of the screen.
