Tips and Tricks

Below is a random assortment of tips and tricks. When adding to the list, try to keep it brief and easy to read.

Crew

 * You can cook raw meat at Campfires by throwing the food onto the fire
 * Once the ship floods, standing in the flood water will freeze you quickly, so hop on something near by when repairing a flooded ship.
 * You can use poison as a crew member by poisoning human meat in the bodies of previous expeditions such as in the wrecked ship or the nitro camp (but crew cannot craft poison).
 * You can punch or throw sticks, stones or anything else at bear traps to disarm them.
 * Ringing the ships bell is a great way to help allies find their way back during a thralls storm
 * You can drop your pick axe down climbable cliffs to help trustworthy allies up (and climb back down when they hand it back to strand them there if you change your mind)

Thralls

 * One Totem can fully charge a spell if you give it enough time
 * If you are a thrall you earn points and XP by throwing coal in the water causing them to disappear. You get more points for using the coal for something.
 * As a thrall you can climb those blue ice walls when spirit walking.
 * While Cannibals target one person, if that person dies or the cannibals can't get to them, they will target someone else, even thralls.
 * The game then remembers the order of poisoned vs non-poisoned food meaning you can mix poisoned food into a group of non-poisoned food so it looks safe after the first bite.
 * Beartraps placed on hammocks do not hit anyone. A beartrap placed on the center of a sleeping mat will trap someone getting up off one, but not someone getting into one.
 * Beartraps in shallow water such as a flooding ship are very hard to see.

Other

 * Wolves and cannibals can climb the ice walls
 * A broken ship moves slower.
 * Level 30 is max level.
 * If you hold tab you can interact with your inventory row on the bottom of the screen.
 * Winning the loading screen card game gives you a key that only works on a chest full of loot in the captain's quarters. These quarters are just above the boiler.
 * You can revive downed people with healing. And since healing is over time, this means taking a healing item as you go down can revive you.
 * Closing all external doors of the ship while the stove or wood furnace are going makes it warm up quicker and stay warm longer.
 * There is a small square on the inside of ship doors that locks them. This then requires someone to break it open to get in. This can be used to make sure noone gets in to steal coal or thralls to prevent the disarming of your barrel bombs
 * The Ice Pick lets you climb the blue ice walls and the shovel lets you dig up locked boxes and graves.
 * There are supply boxes on the ship that can have loot in them at the start of the game.
 * You can survive sprinting to activate the Nitroglycerin so long as you have a bit more then half health, drop it immediately, and run back or forward as soon as you can. Timed right you will only lose somewhere between 1/4 & 1/2 your health depending on your timing.
 * Players have twice the health of wolves
