Survivors,

A new world awaits you. Little is known but some early observations by our scouts - not confirmed mind you - are worth passing on:

Three protected zones exist, one in the forest, one on an island, and one in the desert. These areas appear to have some counter military systems governing them to protect survivors from each other - if not from the environment. All are located on the south end of the map.

This protection will be sorely needed as you will rapidly encounter armed scientists at developed locations. Only the lighthouses seem to have escaped this investigative force. The harbor has an unskilled team while – oddly – the gas stations have, what can only be described as elite squads.

Reports of a reduced military presence also are coming in – the lack of a fortified military location has been confirmed. However, you will still have the space launch site and it’s many dangers to contend with.

As always, survivors, this is a world of limited resources. Trust is the rarest of them all.
