True survival horror lies in resource management. Only craft what you immediately need. Save your Strong Chem Fluid for Enhanced Handgun Ammo or Strong First Aid Meds for critical situations. Prioritize upgrading your inventory space early with the Backpack. Learn which enemies drop specific ammo types and plan your engagements accordingly. Don't pick up every item if your inventory is full; remember its location and return when needed. Every bullet and herb counts.
