Lead Your Colony
As their leader, you will manage essential resources like food, wood, and scrap metal, scavenged from perilous locations across the map. Your colony's survival depends on the effective construction of crucial buildings and defences, from basic shelters to sophisticated guard towers and deadly flame turrets, each offering strategic advantages in the face of relentless attacks.
Autonomous Survivors
In this autonomous survival environment, NPCs take on roles as workers or fighters, moving independently but influenced by the base's expansion and designated waypoints. Place beacons to mark vital work zones, defence points, and areas for further development, allowing NPCs to autonomously fulfil their roles.
Resource Management
Workers focus on building, gathering, and maintaining the colony's internal needs, while fighters protect the base from the undead hordes and opportunistic raiders who threaten its survival. As your colony grows, you gain access to specialized buildings that help manage critical needs like hunger, sleep, and entertainment.
Strategic Upgrades
Closer to the end of early access, upgrades become available, providing powerful enhancements for workers and fighters. These upgrades come not just from the buildings you construct but from unique buildings that can only be accessed by controlling specific areas on the map.
The Ancient Bunker
When the colony reaches a certain size, your people uncover an ancient bunker – a possible sanctuary or cache of lost technology. Your mission shifts: breaking into the bunker becomes your final objective. This challenge requires careful planning as you must maintain your defences against increasingly intense waves of enemies while your fighters work to breach the bunker.
