# Asciilands Field Guide

> An independent English companion to Qaztarrr’s browser survival game at asciilands.io. This is an unofficial guide, not the game developer, game host or an official wiki.

Read the beginner guide, look up controls, follow crafting and building progression, learn combat and town systems, or search the FAQ. The guide includes a local beginner checklist, controls filters, a crafting explorer and a town upkeep calculator.

Mechanics were reviewed on October 23, 2026 against the official website, FAQ and published in-game help. This was a documentation review, not independent gameplay testing. Follow the live game when recipes or rules differ.

The guide does not claim a complete item database, tested damage tables or a comprehensive spell catalogue. Walkthrough order and budgeting suggestions are editorial advice. The artwork is illustrative, not a game screenshot or world map.
