Co-op Survival

Official framing: "Symbiotic 1-4 player Co-Op Survival… Co-op doesn't simplify the world; it just means you don't face the cold alone."

Division of labour is the actual benefit: hunting, scavenging and life support can run in parallel.

Shared shelter networks mean shared warmth logistics.

Mechanics

• Split roles by resource stream, not by task order.
• Size communal hubs for the actual player count — overbuilding wastes heat.
• Loot sharing needs a rule before the run starts, not during it.

Unmeasured

Not published, not inferable, not guessed:

• Loot sharing rules
• Scaling of threats with player count
• Drop-in / drop-out behaviour
