It was quite difficult to survive in this game until I got the camp powerup. I managed to survive for 4 days. I think if there were clearer ways to tell if a reagent was common vs rare, like how some of them have circle highlights, it would help.
Thanks for trying it out and your feedback. It was even worse before the circles on the quest items. I like the idea of calling out juicy reagents in a different way; it would give some more conflict if you noticed one while running low on health too.
