Plan your next Above Snakes session
Our independent guide offers observations and exercises that let you examine each core aspect of Above Snakes—world building, crafting, farming, exploration, and accessibility—without relying on undocumented shortcuts or hidden mechanics.
01 / THE GUIDE
Biome Material Chart
List each biome and the unique materials it provides. Compare this chart with your inventory to spot missing resources, then plan expansions that target those gaps.
- Combine biomes that share complementary resources to broaden material variety.
- Position workstations close to the raw materials they process for smoother crafting.

Station Upgrade Timeline
Record the order in which you build workbenches, sawmills, furnaces, and anvils. Note the new items each unlocks and align upgrades with upcoming quest requirements.
- Prioritize building a furnace early to expand metalworking options.
- Maintain a balance between hunting and farming to keep food supplies steady.
03 / THE GUIDE
Crop Growth Analysis
Track growth times for crops with and without fertilizer. Use the data to decide which crops merit fertilizer use based on speed versus resource cost.
- Apply fertilizer to high‑yield crops for faster harvest cycles.
- Schedule watering sessions to avoid growth delays.

Quest Exploration Notes
Log the quests you choose and note what they reveal about the land and the young woman’s story. Compare those notes with the places you explore.
- Map biome borders to locate rare resources quickly.
- Choose quests you want to explore while following the land’s story.
05 / THE GUIDE
Comfort Settings Test
Toggle camera shake and smooth movement options while performing a combat encounter. Note which configuration feels most comfortable and keep those settings for longer sessions.
