Gameplay Information

There are a few ways you can play this. Difficulty 3 (0-5) is what I normally play on.

However you could play at a lower difficulty and do a permadeath run. That would be a fun idea to see how far you can get. Since this type of map is more for nomad lifestyle (not base building), it wouldn’t be a huge loss to have to start over each run.

You still can build bases and do everything you can in a normal playthrough.
