Base Building

A network of shelters, not one mega-base.

Official copy has you "build a network of shelters to outlast the cold" — the network is the point.

Scarcity is enforced: compact, heatable outposts beat sprawling structures you cannot warm.

In co-op the network splits responsibilities across players instead of concentrating them.

Mechanics

  • Early game: restore ruined perimeters, do not build exterior walls.
  • Mid game: engineered outposts with centralised thermal cores.
  • Late game: communal hubs sized for up to four players.

Unmeasured

Not published, not inferable, not guessed:

  • Building piece list
  • Material costs
  • Heat radius per structure
