LapaBot

The LapaBot walks to damaged walls and repairs them. It ignores ghouls and walls that are already at full health, although when a player attacks them, they will fight back. After making one from a research bench, you will have to wait for him to spawn.

Lapabots repair buildings for 65HP per hit.

## Crafting recipe

LapaBot is crafted at Research Bench

* 6 Shaped Metal
* 1 Small Wire
* 1 Alloy
* 1 Electronic Parts

## Trivia

* Robots have no ability to regenerate health
* After the death of the builder, this robot does not disappear and not attack anyone. This robot will soon be destroyed by ghouls
* The robot cannot be repaired by any method.
* It seems that its name is a refernce to the name of the game developer,LapaMauve.
Sulfur Pickaxe

The **Sulfur Pickaxe** is a very useful tool. It is required for mining uranium, and is recommended that you make it even if you don't need uranium. While the sulfur pickaxe may do more damage, a Metal Axe still has a higher DPS than it. The sulfur pickaxe can mine iron, stone, sulfur and uranium. It can even be obtained in the first day by skilled players. In one hit, it can mine 5, 10 or 15 stone from a rock, 3 iron from an iron ore, 2 sulfur from a sulfur ore and 1 uranium from a uranium ore. These values are doubled in ghoul mode. Mining with a Sulfur Pickaxe will grant you more materials than mining with a metal pickaxe.

## Tips against a player with the sulfur pickaxe

If you have a Metal Axe, you will be able to kill the player with a sulfur pickaxe; it has a higher DPS than the sulfur pickaxe, and you will be able to kill them if all hits are landed. If you do not have a axe, you can use spears to kill them, or you can get a second player to team up on them and kill them with pickaxes. You can easily kill a player with a sulfur pickaxe with any gun if you keep some distance.

 Crafting recipe

The Sulfur Pickaxe is crafted at a Research Bench

* 6 Shaped Metal
* 6 Sulfur
* 2 Alloys

## How to start with a sulfur spike?

Create two spears and kill two armored demons with their materials break two refrigerators and grab the sulfur save all your materials and collect them then create an intelligent workbench go up to level 9 and create the sulfur pickaxe (it is recommended to do all the steps of day).
Abandoned House

Abandoned houses are structures that generate naturally within the world. They often contain mid-level items. They generate in either stone or wood varieties, with walls and floor damaged. They often contain barrels and boxes. Abandoned houses are denoted on the map by a small house symbol. The buildings that generate in the Irradiated City are of a different type.

## Metal House

Tip: You can break the left wires and platform along with the computer and only have to press the right trigger to get in/out.
Critical harvest

## Overview

A critical harvest, or crit harvest, is a special feature in devast.io that allows the devaster to gather basic resources quicker. It is randomized, but there is generally a good chance that you will get a crit harvest with a swing.

The player can only crit harvest wood and stone with their corresponding tools.

Example: A player, using their fists, hits a tree 3 times and gets 3 wood total. However, the next time they hit it, they get 2 wood instead of 1 with just one fist swing. When this happens, it is called a crit harvest

## Statistics

There is an estimated 1/3 chance to get a Double crit Harvest, a Triple crit Harvest, or no Crit Harvest. The double crit harvest multiples the amount of resources you get by 2, while the triple crit harvest triples the amount of resources you get.
Fast Ghoul

## Description

The Fast Ghoul is a ghoul appearing in both normal survival mode and ghoul mode. It is the fastest out of all ghouls, but does the least damage per hit. Even though it does low damage per hit, it can still quickly kill a devaster. The fast ghoul has 120 health, dealing 7 damage per hit at night, and 3 at day. Once killed it will drop 1 Ghoul Blood. Like all ghouls, once it turns day it will begin to die. They will attack you after 2 in game days (32 minutes) or if hit. These ghouls have a low spotting range however they follow you very well.

## Tips against the Fast Ghoul

* The Fast Ghoul is incredibly annoying. It is not recommended to go out after night for long after they start attacking you.
* Against 1 or 2 fast ghouls at a time, a Metal Axe is a good choice of weapon to kill them. However it is still best to avoid attacking them in the open, as more ghouls will likely come.
* -Multiple fast ghouls can quickly damage your base. Kill them one at a time.
* To outrun the fast ghoul, you need to walk for a while until your energy bar has recharged to around half, then start running and repeat until you have reached safety. It will be hard for these ghouls to catch up to you this way.

## Tips as the Fast Ghoul (Ghoul Mode)

* You are the fastest ghoul in the game. You can sprint as fast as a devaster sprinting with an active Lapadone effect.
* When a devaster is running, you can try to catch up to them, or cut them off by going to the other side.
* A devaster in the open is an easy target for you. You can easily break their fires and run, making them die of cold.
* If you catch a devaster near barrels, you can quickly trap them close to it and break the barrel, killing the devaster.
* As a fast Ghoul, your job is not to fight melee style against a sulfur axe-holding Devaster, but to scout ahead, chipping down buildings and distracting armed devasters to ensure the other Ghouls have time to get to him.

## Trivia

* The fast ghoul is refered to as "Speedy Ghoul" in the description of Ghoul Blood.
* Some players have different names for the Fast ghoul. Some players may call it a Speedy Ghoul or a Small Ghoul.
Efficient Movement

**\*\*\* THIS PAGE IS UNDER CONSTRUCTION! \*\*\***

**- please be patient -**

This action game is extremely **time-sensitive** like any other build-up game, either real-time or even round based (efficiency per round). You are here not in the position to waste any second, **especially at the beginning**. Due to your need to gather resources and spot enemy-players or ghouls, you have to move your character as efficient as possible on the game-board. This is done by using the following trick.

**Why diagonal moves rule:**
Savaging and Stealing

**This is a subjective page and should be taken with a grain of salt.**

Don't blame me. Savaging is actually very importanat for success. Think if you wanted clothing then you could just force unsuspecting people into giving you their stuff. Savaging is a fun easy way to get good quickly I myself love to do this and the reason is that: Many people don't know what you have and you that to your advantage. You also gain experience! However, killing others also gives you bad karma which can decrease your XP multiplier to be as low as just 20% of the original, so if you're looking just for the XP or if you're doing a highscore, it's not worth it.

One time my friend and I ( Speroni was his name he's on this wiki ) were savaging people into death or for their stuff. And so he was doing and got some basic clothing. Good steal. However we both were greedy and kept savaging until we both died and lost all of our stuff.

*This is actually impossible to really get and has some very **fictional** stuff but you get the idea of savaging.*

There are two ways to savage someone. One by gathering a team and attacking ( this is great because there are many trees in the way and they will be caught and killed easily. And two you can trap them in their base. The team strategy can be easily countered by bringing wooden walls with you, the trapping one is countered by using hammers or placing wooden floors before your doors.

*Note: Many players will do this to you to so be warned.*

*Note: This is a frowned upon way to get stuff and can often back fire, also be aware that the very second you start savaging you become an easy target for peacekeepers and revengers.*

*Note: If everyone is savaging and no one is crafting the game becomes stale, also tons of players will be mad at you for savaging, so be generous and give the spare items to new players to ease the tension, they will thank you for it.*

*Note: Usually the best targets are unnameds with tools above metal tier or the ones with a wooden bow, for some reason they usually always have a gun with 0 ammo in it and are the easiest and most valuable targets.*

*Note: 99% of the time savaging isn't worth it.*

Map Editor

in devast you can use the map editor. Basically this is just build for fun or for a user who has his own private server, build his structure in a map editor and then copy it to his private server. So it will be faster for the owner to build his desired building.

## Save

When you have built something, you save it by pressing the button "copied to clipboard" (left button). You copied the codes and now you need to paste them somewhere in your computer, for example, in the txt. file.

## Load

To load your buildings into the map editor, you need to copy the code that you saved into the txt. file and paste it. Click the insert "right" button.

If you are the owner and want to put this building in a private server, then paste this code into the chat
Gladiator helmet

The Gladiator Helmet is the level 3 melee protection hat. It reduces melee damage (Hatchet, Axes, Pickaxes, Ghouls, etc.) and also protects you a bit from firearms and explosives.

Melee defense +61% (10,2\*100/26=39. 100-39=61)

* You will die to 25 swings of Metal Axe = Total of 650 damage (255/25=10,2 damage per swing)
* You will not die to one swing of the Super Hammer
* It can be useful in Ghoul Mode during the day (or night if you have enough heat)
RadAway

**RadAway** is an item used to reduce a player's radioactivity by 100%. It can be crafted in agitator or can be found in Abandoned Houses.

Alone, the RadAway is not very useful, but when paired with a piece of radiation protective clothing, it can have extreme potential. For example, a full Radiation Suit can protect the player from radiation for over one minute before they start taking damage. If a RadAway is consumed at that one-minute mark, the player's radiation level will be reduced nearly to zero again, allowing the player to stay in a radiation zone for several minutes at a time.

## Crafting recipe

RadAway is crafted at a Agitator

* 1 Syringe
* 1 Chemical Component
* 1 Boletus
Super Hammer

The super hammer is a powerful tool available only to admins of personal servers. It lets you break any wall, even those that wouldn't usually be breakable.

There is no way to craft it. It can only be spawned in using the following command: !item=super\_hammer

It deals 255 damage per swing according to it's in game icon.
Armored Ghoul

## Summary

Armored ghouls are the most powerful ghouls. They have high health and can kill you at night in 6 hits. Don't underestimate him. It is possible to kill an armored ghoul at day with a metal axe if you keep your distance, but a Sniper, Laser Submachine, AK47, Laser Pistol or Laser Sniper are the best weapons against it. They will attack you after 5 ingame days (1 hour 20 minutes) or if you hit them. On death they drop 1 Alloys and 3 Shaped Metal.

At night, The armored ghoul does 50 damage per hit, and 20 per hit at day. It has 800 health.

## Tips against the Armored Ghoul

* Try to avoid them altogether, because they are very difficult to kill before they kill you.
* Try not to use a 9mm or MP5, as you will waste a lot of ammo while doing little damage to it.
* Do not try and melee attack a armored ghoul at night, you will die.
* At night, you can go to an abandoned house to avoid them.
* Armored Ghouls are extremely slow, so it is extremely easy to outrun them wether it is night or day.
* If you want to kill them at day for XP or alloy/shaped metal, wait until 3/4 of the day has passed, then try to kill them with a spear. This is not very recommended (unless you know what to do next) because they will attack you at night if you do so.
* If you want to go to a place but it is blocked by some Armored Ghouls,try wearing a Gladitor Helemet,as it will reduce the damage they pack to you.

## Tips as the Armored Ghoul (Ghoul Mode)

* You are the most valuable ghoul in ghoul mode. Do not die.
* You can break barrels and even radioactive barrels without dying,so it is always a good idea to do so to open up a hole in a player's house.
* You can hide inside the Irradiated City or next to a Uranium Ore to avoid players from killing you easily at day.
* Armored Ghoul and Radioactive Ghoul is a dangerous combo. The armored ghoul can quickly break bases, while the radioactive ghoul will make repairing extremely difficult.

## Trivia

* Armored ghoul is a normal ghoul wearing metal helmet
Alloys

Alloys are an important material for making powerful weapons and bots. They can be crafted using a Smelter, you need 1 Iron + 1 Junk + 1 Sulfur.

You can also collect alloys by killing armored ghoul, but it's better not to do it, unless they are attacking you anyway. More advanced players often kill armored ghouls for alloys, and craft a sulfur pickaxe very early game.

Alloys are used in the crafting recipe of all the bots and guns, excluding 9mm. It is also used in crafting the sulfur axe, though the sulfur axe is more easily and commonly obtained at resetting at level 25.

Also you can found alloys in the bunker, but is VERY rare
Private server

Private servers are purchasable servers that are distributed by LapaMauve.

## Overview

**Private servers** are unique in the fact that you can pay for these servers, and do anything you want with them. You must pay for a server or else get it by LapaMauve presenting you with a server, through any process. In these servers, you have access to commands that can be used to spawn items, become unkillable, edit the server, etc. etc.

## Pricing and Locations

As of now, a private server subscription costs 12 euros per month, or about 14.45 USD. According to the in-game text, it will be delivered after a maximum of 1 day, though there are occasionally issues when distributing the servers.

LapaMauve offers eight locations for hosting your servers, listed below:

* Frankfurt, Deutschland
* London, UK
* Newark, New Jersey
* Atlanta, Georgia
* Dallas, Texas
* Fremont, California
* Singapore

## Publicity

Players can make their private server using the public command. You can access and play private servers by pressing the Community tab in the main menu.
Headscarf

Warm you up.

## Summary

The Headscarf is the first tier of the cold protection clothing. Though it is cheap and does not provide too much protection against the cold when you compare it to its higher tier counterparts, it still is significantly better than no cold protection and warms you up faster near a fire. It can also be found in houses sometimes and can be upgraded into a chapka.

Without any clothes: 1:15 minutes until cold bar completely drains

With headscarf: 1:35 minutes until cold bar completely drains

Protects against the cold 0:20 minutes longer

## Crafting

### Item 2

1 Leather

* 1 String
* 1 Leather

## Tips

* Use this to your advantage when outlasting people without cold protection you should be able to just chase them until the cold gets them (that is if you can keep up with them)
* Just a useless item taking up space during the day. Hide in Chest or Fridge
* A useful item to anyone who does not want to go through the expensive string process of getting a Winter Coat or Chapka while still receiving decent cold protection.
* Th headscarf is not considered a shiny item, therefore it is not likely to attract savages and you can wear it at any time.
* Very useful for fast food scavenges during the night when you are out of food. This cold protection clothing provides you just enough time to find food, and you will not need a higher tier for this.
Team

Teams are groups of Devasters which can be created and joined.

## Overview

Teams, AKA clans, are formable groups that can be used to help people work together, using features in clans.

### Basic Functions

The main function of teams is that they can open each other's doors, place buildings on each other's floors, and allow each other to find their locations on the map. It is important to note that, when clicking the team button (the button which features two devasters), you will be given the choice to join a clan, however if you are already in a clan your teammates will be shown.

9 people can be in a team at once, including the team leader.

### Membership

#### Creating a Team

One can create a team by finding the image of two Devasters under the map. Upon clicking this button, an interface is provided with existing clans and a place to create your own clan. You can create a clan by first setting a five-character name that can only contain letters and numbers. Do note that you cannot create a clan if there are too many or if yours has the same name as another clan.

When you create your clan, a table with 9 spaces, should pop up. This will appear whenever you click the team button. In this interface, other than the table where your teammates are shown, there are three main buttons- lock, delete clan, and exit. The lock can be toggled on or off, and when it is locked, all requests to join the clan will not be shown. The delete clan button is simple- it will delete your team, and it will be removed from the team joining table. The exit button will hide the team interface. Notably, you can kick members from your team by clicking the "X" button next to their name. However, they call still request to join after being kicked. Lock your clan if you want to stop receiving these notifications, however your friends cannot request to join if you lock, either.

When people request to join your clan, their name will appear on the right of your map with an accept and decline button. Accepting the request will automatically add that person to your team (given your team is not full), while declining it will remove the request. Notably, when your team is full, you won't receive requests. Your team must have space to get requests.

If you attempt to create a clan when there is no more space left, the "create clan" button will be darkened and you cannot create a team for a few more seconds. Make sure you wait for an open space so that you do not have this cooldown.

#### Joining a Team

You can also join teams instead of creating them. To do this, click the devaster with the plus sign next to the clan name that you want to join. Doing this sets a cooldown on joining other teams, so that you cannot spam request every team on the table. This will send a request to join the team, and if they accept, you will be accepted into the clan. The leaders of full clans will not receive these requests. If you are declined, the cooldown will reset and you will not be accepted into the team.
XP

XP is a mechanic in Devast.io which allows the player to level up. Gathering XP along the way is vital as some items require a certain level and amount of skill points to unlock. XP can be gained by doing just about anything, from gathering wood and stone to killing ghouls, but NOT by breaking walls, workbenches, or any other structure placed by a player.

There is no limit to how much XP can be collected by a player.

Karma modifies how much XP the player gets as well. Better karma (less savaging) gives more XP per action, while worse karma (more savaging) gives less XP per action.

NOTE: the lists below are by no means complete, please feel free to add to them as necessary

## Levels

Listed are the various amounts of XP required to level up:

Devast io more tips

tool's and guns

when you start of in the game the first thing you get is a hatchet by keeping your two stone and getting ten wood to make a hatchet. Once you have enough resources you can get a pickaxe. Since making a base is part of getting better weapons, you'll be able to get a metal axe as your first choice since its efective on normal brutes and speedy ghouls. Then, you get either a hammer or a metal pickaxe. recomendation from me your narator is a hammer. Its useful when you need to get resources and you can quickly get a metal pickaxe. then , when you get a smelter from your research bench, you will get more powerful tools like a gun or something. I recomend not getting any sulfer tools especially the axe beacause its a waiste of resources. the best gun is the cheepest one is the shotgun beacuse its the only gun that can one shot a speedy ghoul other weapons are more expensive and a waiste of resources and if you upgrade the shotgun again(yes you can upgrade the shotgun), it will do more damage. next gun i recomend is a AK-47 is the most expensive alloy gun but its very good but i don't recomend geting it when your able to get alloys because you need four gassoline and also its hard to get so i recomend getting a cheeper gun like a desert eagle or a sub machine gun also, if you try to get a AK-47 you need to get three levels and unlock the mp5 and then the ak-47 with the ammo so its pretty hard to get. If you want to get technolagy weapons you can get the sulfer pickaxe( I said not to get sulfer tools but if you want techy guns do so) so you can mine uranium but be cautious you need a radiation suit to mine it for some reason its like a toxic or out of this world mineral i have know idea but we can use it for crazy weapons. i thing or uranium tools lol anyways, you need batterys ant tesla bench and there you go your a pro now with my tips! I hope you injoyed my tips! bye-bye!
Sawed Off

## Summary

The Sawed Off Shotgun does the most amount of damage in a single shot. Total damage is 145, with each bullet dealing 28 damage - a total of 5 bullets per shot. It is great at the element of surprising other players, and it is somewhat ammo conservative, somewhere between a sniper and an AK47. It can be upgraded from a shotgun. However, it also has the lowest range out of all weapons.

## Tips Using The Sawed Off

The sawed off can kill an unarmored player in exactly 2 shots, if all pellets are landed. Because of that, it is very good for surprising other players and suddenly start shooting them. However since it has a very short range, it will be hard to kill a running player. Because of that, it is highly recommended to have a second weapon with a long range, such as a AK47 or Sniper. The sawed off is also very good against ghouls, as it can one shot a Fast Ghoul and a Explosive Ghoul, and two shot any other ghoul that isn't an Armored Ghoul. You can also kill Armored Ghouls at day with this gun, and still be able to make more ammo from the alloys you get from them than the amount of ammo you'll use.

## Tips Against a Player With The Sawed Off

The biggest disadvantage of the sawed off is it's range. You can easily kill any player who has it with even a 9MM if you stay out of their range, or if they waste too much ammo not hitting you. Even if you are close enough where they can hit you, try to stay further back, so only some pellets will be able to hit you. Try to avoid them in places where there is a lot of cover, as they can peek around corners and get a full blast on you.

## Crafting recipe

Sawed Off is crafted at a Research Bench

* 1 Shotgun
* 6 Shaped Metal
* 6 Alloys
Desert Eagle

The Desert Eagle is a ranged weapon in Devast.io. It is a direct upgrade to the 9mm, uses the same ammo, but has much higher damage.

To kill one player you need to hit him 7 times (7\*40=280). This weapon is not very effective compared to 9mm, although it does more damage. You don't have the right to miss because you only have 7 magazines. On the other hand you can save a little bullets

## Trivia

* In real life, the Desert Eagle actually uses .50 AE ammo. There are some types that use other kinds of ammo though.

The deagle is essentially a buffed version of the bow that fires faster and has a magazine
Vision

**Vision** is a series of upgrades which increase the player's vision range. It is recommended not to buy them, however, since each only boosts the player's vision by about 5%, and to buy the Backpack upgrades instead.

## Vision 1

### Screen Improvement

about 5%

Vision 1 is an upgrade that will put the imaginary camera in a higher position allowing the player to see more things.

.

## Vision 2

### Screen Improvement

about 5%

Vision 2 is like vision 1, but better obviously. You need to unlock vision 1 before getting it.

## Vision 3

### Screen Improvement

about 5%

Vision 2 isn't enough? Fine, this eagle vision will allow you to see even farther. Vision 1 and 2 are needed to unlock it.
Deer

## Overview

   The **deer** is an animal that can be found throughout the map. The animal sports a black nose, two fluffy ears, and two large antlers. It is a type of *harvestable element* that can be harvested for raw steak, animal fat, leather, and animal tendons. It takes 5 hits to fully destroy a deer. It can be harvested with the hatchet, steel axe, or sulfur axe.

## Possible Resources

* Raw Steak
* Animal Fat
* Leather
* Animal tendons

## Trivia

* The deer is most likely a buck, or male deer, due to its large antlers.
* The animal is likely a species of deer called the reindeer or the species called the white-tailed deer by looking at the antlers.
Animal

**Animals** are a type of *harvestable element* that can be found throughout the map.

## Overviews

There are two types of animals- the deer and the boar.

They yield important resources, listed below:

* Raw steak
* Animal Fat
* Leather

* Animal tendons
* Raw Steak

Facts:

- Animal tendons can only be found on deers

- Animal fat is mostly found in boars and can uncommonly be found on deers

- Leather can only be found on boars

These resources are important in crafting clothing, armor, certain weapons, food items, weaving machines, colorful floors, ammunition, explosives, healing items, and sleeping bags. Both animals generally take 5 hits from a sulfur axe to destroy.

On February fourth of 2020, via the **official devast.io Discord server**, LapaMauve released two videos exhibiting the running animations for possible **alive animals**.

See: Running deer video

See: Running boar video

View both using the devast.io Discord: https://discord.com/channels/432755188902658058/432755330653356042/674401772248498189
Player

## Introduction

The devast.io character, called **Devaster**, is a **round abstract creature** with big eyes and arms. It is one of the first designs LapaMauve, the creator of the game, created for this game. Devasters are controlled by player

s and are the only creatures that have the ability to eat, build and use tools.

## Appearance

The developers decided to keep this character as simple as possible so that the player is free to identify it according to their imagination. The eyes of the Devaster were originally all black, but this made it look too sinister, while white eyes with black pupils made it look too human. The developers finally decided to copy the eyes of another character from their other game, Starve.io. These eyes are black with white pupils.

For color, blue was automatically eliminated to make the game stand out from starve.io. Green merges with nature, orange and red gives the impression that the character has rage. The dull colors do not bring out the character of the scenery and obviously, the skin colors give the impression of a human being. So yellow was chosen. Yellow is also the colour used for protective clothing, an important element of the game.

The arms are separated from the body to give the developers freedom in the process of character animation.

In other artwork, it is shown that Devasters have very long legs and arms that are thinner and longer than they appear in-game. They have gumdrop-shaped heads.

## Mechanical

Devasters have five different stats: health, hunger, cold, stamina and radiation. Each stat maxes out at 255.

### Health

Health depletes when hunger or cold reach 0, the radiation stat is too high, the player gets attacked, or some other way. It starts regenerating naturally when the player has not been harmed in a while, considering that the player isn't critical in any of the other stats. When needed, the player may use bandages or medkits to replenish their health.

### Hunger

* **Depletion:** 1.2 units per second

Hunger always depletes at a steady rate, and can be replenished by various different foods.

### Cold

* **Depletion (without clothing):** 3.5 units per second
* **Regeneration (near campfire):** 5 units per second

Cold only depletes during the night, when the player is not near a campfire. The rate of depletion depends on the player's clothing. Cold will replenish when near a campfire and during the day.

### Stamina

* **Depletion (when running):** 28 units per second
* **Regeneration:** 14 units per second

Stamina allows the player to perform laborious tasks like sprinting, attacking and gathering. If stamina reaches 0, the player will not be able to do these tasks. The stat replenishes naturally, but can also be regenerated by drinking soda.

### Radiation

Unlike the other stats, radiation starts at 0 and will increase only when the player is exposed to radiation, shown by a red triangle with a radioactive symbol on it. The player can gain radiation from standing near uranium or by being in the irradiated city. Radiation will deplete slowly over time, but the process can be made quicker by using a Radaway.
Strategy Guide

*Devast.io* is a fun game to play and I have been playing it since it first came out. It is based of the game *Starve.io* and is very similar. The key defferences are that one has more items and a more complex game, this is *Devast.io* however both are very fun games and worth playing!

In this guide I will tell you how to survive your first night/day.

Since i have been around since they made it I know lots of stuff about it. Some key tips are: that you spawn in with 2 stone, DO NOT GET RID OF IT!!! If you get rid of it you will not be able to make the hatchet which is a key componet to the game. Also gathering resources is important and levels you up. ( leveling up is important for unlocking or learning new stuff to make and craft) if you spawn in night then the first thing you should make is a fireplace then gather oranges,tomatoes,wood,and stone. All are important for a devast.io player. However one thing is that they have recently added mobs that can attack called ghouls they are deadly for beggining players but in this guide I will tell you how to defeat them. But back to the first day/night remember to look at the map and see where you are ( ex C2 ) ( I recommend the corners ) then you should save for the pickaxe which requires a worckbench. Don't worry about dead animals. Yet. They are useful for clothing and steak. This concludes my first night/day strategy guide.

I suggest you make a base quickly because in the 2nd or 3rd day ghouls will start attacking you, you can make a wooden spear because it deals 80 damage and can kill most ghouls in 2+ hits, if you want better weapons you'll need a Research Bench to make an Iron Axe and an Iron Pickaxe, with the Research Bench you can craft LapaBots that repairs your base for you, and you can make guns with the Research Bench too.
Extractor

Extractor can create minerals like stone, iron, sulfur and uranium from nothing. You will get random number of minerals.

Stone - 1:20 minutes. There can be ~125-200 stones

Iron - 2 minutes . There can be ~7-15 iron

Sulfur - 4 minutes. There can be ~5-10 sulfur

Uranium - 4 minutes. There can be ~3-5 uranium

Extractor need Gasoline to work and duration of work is ~8 minutes.

It is for extremely late game play, for entirely self-sufficient bases. Combined with the tree seed and a food farm, you may never have to go outside for resources, with the exception of running out of acorns for tree seeds.

## Crafting recipe

Extractor is crafted at a Research Bench.

* 10 Shaped Metal
* 2 Alloys
* 2 Shaped Uranium
* 2 Small Wire
* 1 Electronic Parts
Amanita

The Amanita is a mushroom that can be found growing on the ground. It is toxic and eating it will cause you to take 20 damage as well as making your vision blurry. (but restoring a small amount of energy)

It is useful for crafting Lapadone and Antidone.

Its rotten variant, like all other rotten fungi, is simply labelled 'Rotten Mushroom', but may be distinguished from other rotten mushrooms because it looks like a green version of the Amanita.

The Rotten Amanita is the only food item in the game that has no good effects when eaten. Even the normal Amanita restores a tiny amount of energy.
Nail Gun

The **Nail Gun** is an item that is mainly used to repair walls. It uses nails as ammo and functions mostly as a normal gun. It fires 2.5 times a second.

The Nail Gun is almost entirely useless as a weapon, doing only 6 damage, making even the Hatchet more powerful.

## Crafting recipe

Nail Gun is crafted at a Research Bench, requires Level 7 or higher, and costs 1 Skill Point.

* 6 Shaped Metal
* 1 Small Wire
* 4 Energy cells
* 1 House Junk
Dynamite

Dynamite explodes 5 seconds after placing it on the ground. Placing two explosive items side by side will blow them both up. It is a useful item to explode big computer or enemy walls.

It deal 180 damage to players, and 1400 damage to buildings.

If you are wielding a hammer when dynamite you placed explodes, it a deals a significantly higher amount of damage to buildings. This makes it much more viable in raids, and can severely damage stone walls and one shot stone doors, doing over 6k damage.

## Crafting recipe

Dynamite is crafted at a Research Bench

* 1 String
* 1 Junk
* 2 Sulfur
* 2 Animal Fat
Min. Radiation Suit

Previously, on Breaking Bad...

The Min. Radiation Suit provides the second most radiation protection out of the 3 radiation protection clothes, as it gives more protection than the Radiation mask but gives less than the Radiation suit. It is very useful and affordable. This can sometimes (rarely) be found in houses. It is unlocked at level 8 for 1 skill point.

Fun fact: The min radiation suit protects you from cold like a level 1 scarf

Without radiation protection: 0:08 minutes until you start taking damage. 0:20 minutes to completely relieve painWith Min. radiation suit: 0:23 minutes until you start taking damage. 0:05 minutes to completely relieve pain

## Tips

The Min. Radiation Suit is very useful as you can mine uranium for long periods of time, and you can easily loot all the safes in the city, with the help of some Radaways/ bandages. The Min. Radiation suit does not give much more protection than the radiation mask, therefore it is not recommended to craft it unless you are making a Radiation Suit. While it may seem like the radiation meter also goes up slower and drops much faster, it really only protects 10 seconds longer than a radiation mask. Skilled players can harvest big wires using the Min. Radiation suit with the help of some dynamite and not take much damage.

The Min. Radiation Suit is considered a shiny item and will attract some savages, Though not as much as a Radiation Suit would. You should only wear this when it is necessary.

## Crafting

Min. Radiation Suit is made at a Weaving Machine.

* 2 Alloys
* 2 Shaped Metal
* 4 String
* 4 Leather
* 1 Radiation Mask
Ghouls

Ghouls are hostile mobs that randomly spawn on the map. They are much faster and stronger during the nighttime, which means players should properly equip themselves during nighttime expeditions. According to a comment by LapaMauve on the Devast.io Discord servers, the ghouls will begin to attack you after 16 minutes (1 in-game day and 1 night exactly), but a type of ghoul will immediately target you if hit it.

There is also another mode called Ghoul mode where players can play as ghouls.

## Overview

There are five types of ghouls: Normal Ghoul, Fast Ghoul, Explosive Ghoul, Radioactive Ghoul, and Armored Ghoul. (Pumpkin Ghoul was removed from the game). Normal ghouls will be aggressive towards you after only 16 minutes since you spawn, so remember to have a solid base (Using stone walls is a better strategy due to their toughness.) by then so you can camp out at nights. Note that ghouls can deal relatively great damage to structures. Eventually every type of ghoul will be aggressive towards you. Some types of ghouls will take damage in the day, and also deal less damage during the day. Ghouls cannot spawn on floors, so flooring your base in a necessity.

Pumpkin Ghouls were exclusive to the Halloween event and were removed from the game shortly after their addition. Moderators can still use Pumpkin Ghouls and their corresponding seeds, however.

Here's a little tip: craft 2 or 3 spears of you are moving(or more if you really can't aim) or bow and tree farm for arrows if you are low wall camper. spears are very effective against Ghouls since they deal 80 damage but remember they will try to dodge projectiles in hand of dodging is bow much better but it still eats plenty of arrows.

Ghouls can be an extremely valuable source of XP. Once Normal Ghouls start attacking, they can be hunted down and the player is sure to level up at least a few times.

The best way to avoid them is staying at an abandoned house at night. They don't attack if you're in a house, but they will attack if you're in a built base and near is no one who would distract them .

## Trivia

* The ghouls in the eyes is not tears, but teeth
* Ghouls have no ability to regenerate health (except ghouls in ghoul mode)
* in ghoul mode fast ghoul and explosive ghoul have X health = 100<X<104 because you can kill them with 4 swings of axe (104 damage) but not with 1 shot of laser sniper (100 damage)
* Fun fact: You can kill fast and explosive ghouls with a shoot of a laser sniper and a punch
Weaving Machine

**Weaving Machine** is a crafting station used to craft clothing. It's recommended for a teammate who has a lot of Skill Points to craft it and clothing, as clothing costs a lot of Skill Points to make.

Sniper

The sniper is a ranged weapon with a low fire rate and heavy damage. It is a useful weapon for very long range attacks, however because it is not automatic it will not be able to easily nail a moving target (for those who have problems with aiming i recommend practicing aim in surviv.io. it is very similar to devast io but weapons are easily obtainable and the game on its own is much faster. in this game i have also learned some bullets-avoiding moves)

The sniper is efficient in using ammo. It is not nearly as ammo consuming as the AK47, its heavy bullet cousin. It also deals 3 times the damage - 90 damage! However, the AK47 is more likely to hit it’s target, because it is automatic.

Snipers use Heavy Bullets as their ammo.

## Crafting recipe

Sniper is crafted at a Research Bench

* 8 Shaped Metal
* 10 Alloys
Power Armor

Protect you from energy weapons

## Crafting recipe Edit

Power Armor is crafted at a Tesla Bench

* 20 Shaped Metal
* 2 Shaped Uranium
* 2 Big Wires
* 2 Alloys
* 1 Electronic Parts

It is noted that this armor suit gives only slight protection from lasers, (~33% energy damage reduction.) and it doesn't have the protection that tesla armor gives you. However, it also has some effect on stopping bullets, and melees. This is a shiny item that is gonna attract savages so keep an laser pistol or AK47 on hand for if they come for you.

Note: During my tests, I found that laser submachine is a 6 hit kill with no power armor, yet it takes 9 hits to kill with power armor.

## Trivia

The power armor is a reference to the power armor in Fallout.
Repair Hammer

The Repair hammer is a inexpensive tool for repairing walls and other things. You will need nails for it work. Each wall you hit will cost you 1 nail.

It will deal damage if you have no nails.

It deals 15 damage per swing.

It is pretty useful early to mid game when you have ghouls attacking your base and need to keep them out.

The repair hammer is the only tool able to repair "open" things like half walls/doors, floors, campfire/firepit.

## Crafting recipe

Repair hammer is crafted at a workbench

* 2 Shaped Metal
* 120 wood
Dungeons

Across the world, players may encounter strange ruins. Oftentimes in these ruins, a dungeon's entrance can be found. Dungeons should not be taken lightly however, because they are often filled with many dangerous enemies and traps.

Dungeons scattered across the world contain loads of treasure. This treasure can range from common materials and equipment to unique books and paintings in the form of maps. Periodically, dungeons will need to be reset to repopulate treasure tables and re-randomize their interiors.

A dungeon that has been completed makes an excellent stronghold to create a base out of, given the pre-placed labyrinth layout and spawners and traps. If you are going to build a base out of a dungeon, you should probably let an administrator know that way your work does not get accidentally wiped out come a dungeon reset.

Dungeons are powered by McDungeon, a standalone executable created by the fine folks at bubblemod.
Command

*Note: "Modmin" is a term that refers to both mods and admins, and used in context as whoever cast the command. It will be used frequently on this page.*

Commands are special statements that will complete tasks when inputted.

## Overview

Commands can only be used by moderators and administrators in private servers. They are used to complete tasks and can be used to edit your server. All commands can be viewed at https://devast.io/commands

### Admin account

The admin account is accessible only by people have been given the admin password or have somehow attained it- try not to share the password if you can help it, since you cannot change it if a griefer/abuser gets hold of it. Unless there are issues, the admin password, IP server, and port will be give to you via email after you purchase a server, after a certain amount of time. The format of the admin link is: `https://devast.io/?ips=IP_SERVER&port=YOUR_PORT&admin=1,` but usually the port is not needed.

### PIDs

PIDs, or Player Identities, are an important part of commands and will play big parts in many. It follows this format: #PID. Remember that the The PID is generally only viewable as a modmin (though there are exceptions). The PID appears at the right of a player's name, except when it is too long, in which it is placed on the left (this is generally an issue with Arabic letters). They are generally useful for !teleport-to= and !teleport-to-me=, but they also have other uses as well.

### Formatting

All commands must start with '!', or else the command will not register. Like any message, you need to press enter to open the chat box and add your command in it to input it into the server. The command will then be showed to you, but not to anyone else- do note that anything that starts with "!" will not show to others, whether it is a valid command or not. You can add multiple commands in one text: for instance, `!item=ak47!item=bullet_sniper` will give you both an AK47 and heavy bullets. You can also add spaces between each command, but all of them will still register- they will clump together without spaces when showing you the command you inputted, however, whether or not the command was successful.

### Item IDs

Item IDs are similar to PIDS as they are used in multiple commands. They are the universal command IDs for items. Though the main uses are for !item= and !item-all=, there are many other important uses as well, whenever an item is concerned. They can be viewed here: http://devast.io/commands/#item

## List of Commands

Most of the commands are basic and uncomplicated, but some are more complex than others.

### Spawn Items

If you want to spawn items use this command, for example:

!item=desert\_eagle
Uranium

The uranium rock also gives you radiation when you are near, this is the same amount of radiation you get when next to a radioactive ghoul or in the city. Uranium is obtained by mining uranium ores with a sulfur pickaxe or by killing radioactive ghouls. You can smelt uranium into shaped uranium in the smelter.

You need radioactive protection in order to safely mine uranium ores. Another version is the sharped uranium.
Nails

Nails are an item that can be very valuable to people with bases. They're used to repair a broken wall or floor. They can be used with either a Repair Hammer or Nail Gun, which allows you to fix walls from a distance. You can craft this item with workbench, and it costs 2 shaped metal. They're extremely common in boxes at houses and city.
Radiation Suit

Let's not grow a second head.

The Radiation Suit is the highest tier of Radiation Protection. It has thirteen times the protection against radiation. You can unlock it at level 10 and you must unlock Min. Radiation Suit before.

Without Radiation Suit: 8 seconds until you start taking damage, 20 seconds to completely relieve pain.

With Radiation Suit: 1 minute 40 seconds until you start taking damage, 1 second to completely relieve pain.

## Tips

The Radiation Suit provides the most amount of radiation protection you can have, and being very cheap in string compared to other clothing like Winter Coat or SWAT Suit. It is also commonly used to harvest big wires as using this and a hammer eliminates the need to craft Dynamite. You can also mine uranium and loot the city easily without worrying about radiation damage at all. The Radiation Suit is very good in the long run, but it is not recommended to make it if you are speedrunning or just trying to break the big computers as quickly as possible.

## Crafting

### Item 5

1 Min. Radiation Suit

The Radiation Suit is considered a shiny item, therefore only wear it when you need to, or it will attract savages. It is also recommended to have a powerful gun like a Sniper or an AK47 to defend yourself if you have this.

## Crafting

Radiation Suit is made at a Weaving Machine.
