Permafrost map & regions

The first real safe spot — and the base most early routes are built around.

A smaller waypoint — the "I can make it back from here" marker.

Dense cover — the safest place to shelter, the worst place to see danger coming.

Where the Woods pays out — if you can take the animal before it takes you.

Pre-Shattering shelter, intact — the warm room everyone wants.

Ruined city blocks — vertical salvage and vertical risk.

Power infrastructure — the reason your generators have something to feed.

The cold cache — and the place the wildlife does not want you in.

Localised extreme cold — the places the game tells you to avoid until ready.

The deepest cold — a name, not a biome. The end of the map’s mercy.

The buried ruins — highest-value salvage and the highest risk, all in one contested district.
