How to use this guide archive

Every guide here started as a real problem — someone died, got lost, or wasted an hour on a bad route and needed an actual answer. Not a wiki copy-paste, not "just explore lol," but a tested path with numbers attached. We pull from the official wiki, Steam posts, and hours of our own runs, then double-check before publishing.

Brand new to the game? Start with First Day Survival. It gets you a bed, a bench, and clean water without spoiling anything past the first sector. After that, Office Sector Route breaks down the opening area floor by floor.

Already past the early game? Most mid-game problems come down to power math, food that actually does something in combat, or not dying to your first Assault Event. Use the category filters below — Exploration has routes and maps, Crafting covers recipes and bench paths, Combat is boss strats and weapon comparisons. You get the idea.

The cards show risk level, estimated completion time, and which stage of the game each guide targets. Anything marked "Source-backed" links to the exact wiki pages we checked — so if a patch changes something, you can verify it yourself.

Beginner Routes

Start here if the problem is basic survival, the Office Sector, or the first stable base loop.
