How much gear does a new player need to live through the first night?

The first night decides whether newcomers stay, yet you do not know what the survivors had that the others lacked. This entry shows how to find the amount of preparation where survival jumps, without letting one lucky outlier decide.

Why this works

Survival often hinges on one kind of preparation more than on a gradual build-up. Looking for the single cut where outcomes split most shows whether the night tests preparation at all, and what a hint should ask for.

When not to use it

Skip it when survival depends mostly on luck, skill or where the player starts, since the cut will then be a mirage. Also be careful: better players may simply prepare more, so a cut shows a link, not a cause.
