Who is Nellie Cashman?
The official profile portrays Nellie as an Irish healer, prospector and survivor accompanied by Finnegan, a Husky. It states that animal companions assist Pioneers in surviving the frontier, but does not publish Finnegan’s exact combat, detection or carrying values.
Nellie Cashman stats and abilities
| Abilities | +10% Ranged Damage, +10% Chopping Speed, +1 Defense, +10% Mining Speed |
|---|---|
| Health | 90 |
| Energy | 120 |
| Encumbrance | 90 |
| Companion | Finnegan, Husky |
Nellie’s 120 Energy is the strongest base number in her profile. Encumbrance remains 90, so longer activity does not automatically mean a larger safe haul.
Practical build direction
Use Nellie as a flexible field worker: carry a ranged weapon, one primary gathering tool and enough recovery to exploit her Energy. Choose the expedition’s main job before leaving rather than packing for mining and chopping at full depth on the same run.
Field note
Finnegan is a confirmed animal companion, but this Wiki will not invent pet damage, pathing or passive bonuses before they are verified in game.
