The Abiotic Factor UI provides critical information for your survival. In the bottom left, you'll find your Health Bar (red), Stamina Bar (green), and Hunger/Thirst Meters. Keeping these meters topped up is vital. The bottom right displays your equipped items and quick slots. Pressing Tab opens your inventory, where you can manage items, equip gear, and access crafting menus. The Map (default key M) is indispensable for navigation, showing discovered areas and objectives. Pay attention to on-screen prompts and notifications, as they often provide clues or warn of impending dangers. Understanding the UI quickly will allow you to react effectively to the dynamic environment of the GATE facility.
