Lost in Blue: Island Survival Questions
What is the reason for my character’s tired state? Performing certain activities, including killing monsters and collecting resources, increases your character’s fatigue, which resets at the start of each day. Fatigue affects the rate at which a character gains experience. When the character’s fatigue is 75-100%, the amount of experience gained is reduced. When the number reaches 100%, you won’t be able to get XP.
To reduce fatigue, rest in your tent or use an anti-fatigue potion that can be bought at the shop.
Where can I find food? You can get food in a variety of ways:
- Gathering: Various types of fruits, including bananas, coconuts, and berries, can be harvested from their respective plants.
- Hunting: once you craft the simplest weapons, you can hunt animals and get meat.

What happens if my character dies? If your character dies, you can respawn at your home camp for free or respawn locally by spending crystals. After respawning, be sure to return the items lost due to death. The best way to avoid death is to become stronger by crafting and upgrading your weapons, leveling up your talents and skills, and recruiting stronger companions.

Why is my lower level weapon’s physical attack higher than higher level weapons? When you upgrade a weapon, the increased physical attack selected is random within a certain numeric value. If your higher level weapon only gets a relatively small increase in physical attack after being upgraded, and your lower level weapon gets a relatively large amount of physical attack after being upgraded, then the physical attack of the lower level weapon will be higher than that of the higher level weapon.
How do I assemble an ATV? In order to assemble your quad bike, you will need to search the entire map (all scenes) for quad bike parts and then return them to your home camp. Once you have at least one part, simply walk up to your ATV and touch it to open the build panel. Next, drag the parts from the quest item bag to the slots on the quad bike.

Concept. Weapons and equipment directly increase the power of the character. You have two weapon slots where you can equip melee or ranged weapons, and five slots for head, body, leg, and foot equipment. You also have a flashlight. Weapons and equipment will only give bonuses when they are equipped.
Quality. The quality of weapons and equipment is:
- Normal (grey);
- Excellent (green);
- Improved (blue);
- Epic (purple);
- Legendary (orange).
The better the quality, the higher the power of the items. However, blueprints for epic weapons and equipment are very rare. You can only buy them in the Camp Shop for medals or by defeating bosses in laboratories. Legendary blueprints can be purchased in the "Improvements" section of the crystal store.
Increasing stardom. Upgrade weapons and equipment to increase their star level from 0 to 5 stars, where 5 is the maximum star rating. Each upgrade increases the power of the item and adds strength to the hero. To increase stardom, use the necessary materials that can be obtained by exchanging equipment, in Arena rewards, and in sets.
Modification . You can modify: blade and shield, spear, hammer, sling, bow, firearms, helmet, body armor, pants and boots. The modification significantly increases the value of the attributes of the weapon (equipment). Earn Mod Blueprints as in-game rewards or purchase from the Store. The "Professional Survival Guide" modification package can be obtained on a joint hunt, in the Arena and in the deposit store.
Cleaning. Mark the equipment or weapon you want to purify in the character menu, and then tap "Upgrade" to open the upgrade menu. Next, select "Cleanup". Currently, only Enhanced, Epic, and Legendary gear can be purged. The cleaning menu immediately indicates only your weapon (equipment) for which this option is applicable.
Standard and advanced materials are used for cleaning. As a result, the weapon (equipment) gets additional attribute slots. So, epic weapons (equipment) can reach a maximum of 2 new slots, and legendary - 3 slots. These slots can be refined to replace their attributes with better ones.
Move the attributes obtained as a result of cleaning to another weapon (equipment) using special transfer items. In this case, the source and target weapons (equipment) must be of the same quality and type.
Repair. When a weapon or equipment reaches the end of its useful life, you need to repair it to regain durability and continue using it. The repair process requires certain materials, which differ depending on the quality of the weapon (equipment). If there is a shortage of the necessary materials, pay for repairs with crystals.
Firearm modification. Use firearm components to level up your firearm and increase its attack, penetration, and specialization. Certain levels require additional carbon fiber parts. Firearm components and carbon fiber parts can be purchased from the system store.
Firearm slots. Each firearm has four slots, which are usually labeled with a combination of barrel, scope, magazine, and stock, although some are named slightly differently. Attachments for these slots provide their own skills in addition to base attribute bonuses. Attachments can be improved by combining two of them into one one level higher. Upgraded attachments provide a higher bonus to base attributes and their attachment skills.

Why are mounts needed? Mounts provide various attribute bonuses in addition to movement speed bonuses. You can choose your current mount in the stable and also give your mounts toys to keep them in a good mood. All mounts have different qualities, which are indicated by the background color of their icons.
Mood. The higher the quality of the mount, the higher the maximum value of its mood. The mood of the mount determines the additional movement speed it provides.

Mount capture. Green text that says "Capable" will be displayed on the monster, which can later be used as a mount. These monsters are usually player neutral, meaning they cannot attack or be attacked. They just roam in a small area. Capturable monsters are highlighted on the minimap and refresh once per hour at their designated locations.
Capture tools. You can grab mounts with Lasso. The process takes time to aim, after which you have a chance to make a successful capture. The lasso is consumed after a grapple attempt, whether it was successful or not.

Mount modification. When the mount reaches level 10, you can modify it by increasing the number of mount attributes. To modify, you will need mount modification modules of the appropriate quality, which can be obtained in the system store, through the process of combining or disassembling.
Transfer modification. Mod level can be transferred between mounts of the same quality. After transmission, the modification level of the sender will be reset to 0. The receiver will inherit the level of the sender. The level of the transmitter must be higher than that of the receiver.
Bio core. The Bio Core has 8 cores, 2 cores for each type of slot. Only the specified type of mount can be installed in each slot. The Bio Core grants its own attribute bonuses, and can also grant additional bonuses through equipping mounts. Bio Core slots open as you level up.
Bio Core affects the amount of attribute bonuses you get. Mounts inserted into the Bio Core can cause resonance effects. For example, when a Triceratops and a Fire Velociraptor are equipped in the same Bio Core, their mood decline rate is reduced by 5%.

LOST in Blue: Invasion Mode Guide
In this mode, you can invade the houses of other survivors, break them down and take things. In the same way, other survivors can invade your home. You can initiate an invasion individually or as a team.
Entrance. Invasion Mode is unlocked after you build a Home Flag and Strategic Command. You can enter the invasion page from the Strategic Command facility.
Invasion rules for an invader. After the invasion begins, you will randomly appear near one of the entrances to the defenders’ camp (solo only). Collect items from chests and destroy as many objects as possible to earn points. Your weapons and tools will lose durability during attacks. Respawning locally will cost you crystals, while respawning at home will take you to the results screen without restoring your body.
To remove the roofs of any enclosed area, you, the invader, must ensure that the area has direct access to the outside. This means that you must destroy at least one window, door, or wall of the area so that it is no longer closed.
Invasion rules for the defender. As a home owner, you will receive notifications online or offline when your home is under attack. So you can quickly return and repel the attack. Other members of your camp are also notified and can help you protect the house. Free respawns that lead you to the entrance to the house are available with a 30 second cooldown. Defenders can also be respawned on the spot using crystals. Buildings destroyed after the invasion are restored free of charge.
Your items in production buildings and chests, other than those in the safe, can get lost, so protect them at all costs!
Calculation of results. Invasion results are calculated according to the following rules:
- Invader: Earn 2 stars or higher to win. The number of stars earned depends on the overall progress of the destruction of the object: 30% for the 1st star, 60% for the 2nd and 100% for the 3rd. You also get higher and higher rewards as you earn more stars - from the regular reward to the perfect reward. A summary of the results, including stars, levels, points and ratings, will be displayed after the end of the invasion.
- Defender: After the invasion ends, a list of lost items and other results will be displayed, including levels, points, and ratings. You can initiate revenge on the invader from Strategic Command.
Truce. The Declaration of Truce can be purchased or used in the Defense of the Truce tab in Strategic Command. There are 3 types of Declaration of Armistice. They provide 8 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours of truce protection respectively. Use one of the Declaration of Truce items to activate the Armistice Defense, which prevents your home from being invaded for a selected amount of time.
Starting Invasion Mode against other players will automatically remove the Armistice Protection effect, and you won’t be able to activate it again until the countdown ends. Using another copy of the Declaration of Armistice while already under Armistice Protection does not sum up the duration of Armistice Protection. The truce duration from the newer declaration simply takes effect, replacing the effect of the previous declaration.
How to protect your home?
1. Use defensive structures. Go to their interface through the Menu - Structures - Defensive Structures. Protective structures include:
- Arrow tower. Deals damage by automatically firing at invaders in range. Each shot consumes one arrow. Once the arrows run out, the tower ceases to function until the player replenishes the arrows manually. Upgrade your tower to increase its strength and attack.
- Flamethrower. Deals continuous damage, automatically firing at invaders within range. Consumes fuel with each shot. Once the fuel runs out, the flamethrower stops working until the player manually refuels it. Upgrade it to increase its durability and attack.
- Explosive trap. A hidden trap that deals area damage 1 second after being triggered. Invisible until it works. Upgrade it to increase damage.
- Paralysis trap. A hidden trap that does no damage, but paralyzes intruders with electricity. Invisible until it works. Unable to update.
- Wooden barricade. Deals damage to invaders when they come into contact. Upgrade her to increase her durability and damage.
2. Use companions. Go to the "Companion Placement" tab to assign one or more companions you have hired to places in your house. Your companion(s) will appear and fight the invaders as soon as the house is attacked.
