The Front – Guide to Interface

Overview

The game’s interface will show you the environmental conditions in your current location, the status of your character, and other important information.

Understanding this information is key to your survival!

Main Interface

The main interface consists of seven important parts:

1. Compass
2. Environment
3. The Task Tracker
4. Your Character’s Status
5. Your Stamina Bar
6. Your Shortcut Bar
7. Your Character’s Level and XP

1. Compass:

Use this to determine the direction in which you are facing.

2. Environment:

Includes temperature, humidity, wind speed, rainfall, illumination intensity, the current in-game time, and weather.

Temperature: Affects the growth rate, water consumption, fertilizer consumption, and health of cultivated plants. In addition, if the temperature is too high, the Hot and Overheated status effects will be triggered, increasing the rate at which your character loses Hydration. If the temperature is too low, the Cold and Freezing status effects will be triggered, increasing the rate at which your character loses Fullness.

Humidity: Affects the rate at which Dew Collectors collect water.

Wind Speed: Affects the amount of power generated by Wind Generators. The faster the wind speed, the more power they will generate.

Rainfall: Affects the amount of water collected by Dew Collectors as well as the hydration of Crop Plots.

Illumination Intensity: Affects the amount of power generated by Solar Generators. The higher the intensity, the more power they will generate. This also affects the health and growth rate of cultivated plants.

Current In-game Time: Time passes more quickly in The Front than it does in real-life, so in-game time is not a reflection of the actual time.

Weather: Weather in-game includes sunny, cloudy, overcast, light rain, moderate rain, stormy, light snow, moderate snow, heavy snow, and foggy.

3. Task Tracker:

This shows your current tasks. Press the L key to view more detailed information about your tasks.

4. Character Status:

This displays any adverse status effects, your HP, Hydration, Fullness, and body temperature.

Adverse Effects: Includes Fatigued, Fracture, Bleeding, Poisoned, Hungry, Thirsty, Suffocation, Infected, Radiation, Freezing, Cold, Hot, and Overheated.

HP: When your HP reaches 0, your character will be Wounded. If not healed in time, they will die.

Hydration: When your Hydration reaches 0, you will gradually lose HP until you die.

Fullness: When Fullness reaches 0, you will gradually lose HP until you die.

Body Temperature: This is divided into 5 segments. From left to right, they are Freezing, Cold, Comfortable, Hot, and Overheated. This stat is mainly affected by ambient temperature and the type of gear you are wearing.

5. Stamina Bar:

Jumping [SPACE], sprinting [SHIFT] + [W], and using collection tools consumes stamina. Your stamina bar will appear above the shortcut bar. When stamina reaches 0, you will not be able to perform these actions.
