Surviving the Wilderness
The wilds are dangerous — preparation is the difference between a haul and a respawn.
Mark your path home or you can end up stranded at night.
Stay alert for vicious creatures and hostiles in ruins.
Upgrade your drone with weapon and lighting modules before long trips.
Bring food — cooking buffs keep you alive and fast.
Check the weather forecast first — storms and acid rain punish unprepared explorers.
Know your exit route before you commit to a deep dive.
