Beard



Beard is the facial hair Wilson grows and the only source of Beard Hair, which is used in the making of a Meat Effigy that is used for resurrection purposes. Beard hair itself gives 5 research points when fed to the machines. Beard grows slowly over times, through 3 growth stages and can be shaved with the Razor. If Wilson dies and resurrects, the Beard growth resets. As epic Beard no longer grows and player loses it on resurrection, it is most efficient to shave it then.
