Strategy Tips
Settings
So first things first, you need to mess with your settings. If you have a lower tier computer like I do, I highly recommend turning off dynamic shadows and lowering shadow and texture detail. This will reduce a lot of lag that you might have because your computer probably sucks, like mine. I recommend that you keep the draw distance high or very high because either way, it will be about the same and it'll help you greatly when it comes to finding loot and locating hostiles.You should probably mess with the controls too, I personally changed inventory to E along with other controls to mimic Minecraft controls, lets be real, how many of us has played Minecraft?
After you have done this, make sure that all the controls are set to be the easiest on you and the graphics settings are set to create minimum lag, unless you have a beast of a computer, then sure, go all out.
Map
This is a map of the map. I did not make this, credit goes to Nemo, I really appreciate him making this. If you're playing with friends, send this to them so they can know what you're talking about, and maybe print it out too.
Subsistence - Tutorial and Tips for Surviving the First Couple of Days
Loot
Now, everything is important, gather as much stuff that you can, even if you have a lot of it, you can never have enough, unless you have a chest full of something, but I highly doubt you would fill a chest with a sole item, fully stacked.
This is what fiber looks like. It is very useful, you use it to craft cordage, which is used in a lot of recipes, so gather as much of this as possible.
This is a grub tree, they give you 6 wood instead of 3 or 4 a normal tree does, but what's really special is that it gives a tree grub, it's like a maggot. You use it for tackle for fishing or you can eat it for a tiny amount of protein, but don't eat it unless you're desperate
This is a medicinal plant. They are used to craft most medical items and biofuel. This is a lot easier to spot than the fibers.
There are also crates, or bags of loot. These contain some loot in them and there are 4 varieties. The best one is the flat one, which it gives you double the loot and its rarer loot like sinew, which is used for rope, gun parts to upgrade weapons. However, it requires a lockpick to open. The first Base Command Unit (BCU) gives you a free lockpick. After that, you have to craft them.
Special Crate
Building Crate
Health Crate
Ammo Crate
I recommend looting everything you see. There are also additional things out there, like potatoes and carrots. When you look around, anything that looks different then the normal grass and shrubbery, look to see if it's that. You can extract the seeds from them and grow more, allowing you to be able to eventually hopefully make 5 star meals. Also, keep all ash from fires, you'll need it later.
Basing
Now, when it comes to basing, don't build until sunset. As crazy as it sounds, focus on gathering materials so you don't have to try and get more fiber at night, it's impossible. Build a foundation, a wall, and a roof. Try and build close to water and if you can, build on a big rock. This way, you can see your base from far away and it reduces the number of sides a hostile can attack from.
Whatever you do, don't build your BCU! If you build your BCU, hunters will very shortly begin to spawn in and they are tough and total jerks. Build your BCU when you have at least one foundation, four walls and a roof. Try and memorizing nearby monuments and keep an eye on the direction of where your going and where the general location of your base is.
By now, you should have a base and a BCU. The first thing you should craft is a wood burning stove. This uses less wood, gives off the same amount of light, and has a larger heating range. Then craft a plant bed so you can begin planting seeds when you find them. You can use ash as a fertilizer, or animal feces, so save them!
By now, hunters should begin spawning in your world. So keep an eye out for wierd light from a campfire and an ear for gunshots and tree hacking that isn't you or your friends if you're doing co op.
Food
You need food. It is vital, especially protein because it can be difficult at points to get protein. Want to know how you can save food? Patience, most people sprint around, but they fail to realize that they are using a ton more food, especially protein when they sprint.
When it comes to hunting, it takes 2 pistol shots or 1 arrow to kill a chicken. With the arrow, you have a chance to just injure it. Don't kill the chicken immedieatly unless you're about to cook it. Food can spoil and burn in this game, so keep an eye on it.
A rabbit takes 1 pistol shot or 1 arrow. It'll give you rabbit and cloth.
Fish takes one tackle and if you hook the fish too early, you will lose the tackle. If you catch the fish, you lose the tackle.
Now here's the fun stuff, predators.
I would recommend putting a couple rounds into a wolf using a pistol before taking out a shotgun and shooting it. It takes a couple pistol rounds and, to improve headshot accuracy, crouch, 2-3 shotgun shells to the face.
Same thing with a bear, but I would recommend having a couple extra shells just in case you miss or it's a high level bear, because the higher the level, the greater the health and reward.
It is good to keep an eye on your fruits too. You can find berries in the crates and in the wild. I would recommend to always carry a couple berries and if you have them, protein bars when you go and explore.
Water is also needed. It takes longer for it to go down, so just keep an eye on it and when you are getting low or if you eat some food and you're iffy on it, drink water. You can refill your canteen at a water source by walking out in it a little bit, opening your inventory, right clicking on the empty canteen, and filling it with water. It has to boil before you can drink that, so make sure you do that.

This guide will walk you through on how to find and edit your save files to change the quantities of inventory items to easily give yourself free items – instantly.
Disclaimer and Warning
**Disclamer – messing with the .SAV files can easily mess up your game and you will lose ALL progress if it goes wrongly!**
Back-up your save file before attempting to do any edits!
I highly recommend that you do NOT exceed stack limits on any item you are attempting to modify. Doing so will likely result in weird behavior, like every hunter and hunter base disappearing from the map never to return…other items randomly disappearing, and so forth.
Background
This guide was inspired by the guide created by DubWine, however I quickly noticed that it seemed outdated as my save files did not seem to follow what he/she was describing and so decided to figure out how to edit the save files. Once I did I thought I would share the knowledge.
I used this method to spawn in a lot of matches because I got pretty tired of leaving camp and getting back a few minutes too late and having to make another fire start kit and relight the fires in my base. This way I have a stack of matches in each woodburner.
The example below is for lock picks as I felt this would be far more interesting for people but will work for any item.
Prep the item to edit and find your save game.
Make a new storage crate and place it in the world near your other storage crates.
Place 1 of the item into the crate that you want to make more of.
Save and exit the game.
Browse and navigate to the save file, sort by date modified, most recent at the top.
*SteamLibrarySteamAppscommonSubsistenceBinariesWin32
At the top will be a couple of files.
saveFilesList.sav
saveGame10.sav (in my case it was save #10, your number will vary)
Modify your .SAV game
You want to edit the file with the number in it, saveGame10.sav in my case.Use a program like notepad++ and turn on word wrap.Search for the word storagecrate.
Now here you will need to use a little intuition to find the correct crate. It will have similar world coordinates and be in a similar save file location as your other crates and will likely be the only crate with a single item in it. Hunter bases also have storage crates but you should be able to tell which ones those are as there will be other items in it, in a different location, and will have other hunter labeled buildables near the same variable string.
Subsistence Game Map
In any case here is my new crate with my lock pick in it:
{“ObjectArchetype”:”ColdGame.Default__ColdBuildable_StorageCrate”,”Location”:”-65629.5547,-2714.1433,142.6989″,”Rotation”:”0,33572,0″,”AccessModule”:{“UpgradesInstalledNames”:””,”invItems”:{“0”:{“~”:78,”c”:79}}}}
You want to pay attention to the last 2 numbers, in this case 78 and 79.
78 is the item number, which in this case 78 is the lock pick. Other items will have a different number (for example the refrigerator is number 18, IIRC).
The second number is what determines the quantity and that quantity is derived from the first number subtracted from the last number, so in this case 78 – 79 = 1.
So I have 1 lock pick.
Changing the last number to 98 (MAX STACK SIZE!):
{“ObjectArchetype”:”ColdGame.Default__ColdBuildable_StorageCrate”,”Location”:”-65629.5547,-2714.1433,142.6989″,”Rotation”:”0,33572,0″,”AccessModule”:{“UpgradesInstalledNames”:””,”invItems”:{“0”:{“~”:78,”c”:98}}}}
This gave me 20 lock picks!
Save the file.
Load up the game.
Loot your item from the crate.
If you want, you can place a new item in the crate, save the game, rinse/repeat.
This method works on multiple slots at the same time so you could edit more than 1 item at a time but the risk of mistakes goes up significantly.
You could also conceivably edit the item numbers to spawn in different items but I did not feel like attempting to spawn in every item in the game one by one to make a list and I feel that would end up ruining the game.
