Once you've selected an area with NO pollution within 12 squares of a potential campsite, place down your campsite and rotate it (before placement) with 'R' to get it facing the right way. This will allow you to see more of the immediate area and give you an opportunity for the best possible campsite placement. (More on that later)įirst thing you need to do is select each of your specialists and then right-click somewhere in the fog of war, but nearby the explored area. These characters are able to explore the area around your colony, fight off wild animals, and keep your colonists safe while also being able to explore the world map. These characters, called 'Specialists' are very unique in their skillset, being able to explore unknown territory, expand your colony, and fight off invaders/hunt animals for food simgle-handedly.

Starting out, you will have a few characters to move around. Good luck in your first experience with Surviving the Aftermath. If you followed the instructions above, you will have exactly 33% difficulty, a well-rounded group of specialists, and a colony name/flag that suits you. Don't worry here, just pick a color and icon you like! Good for routing out bandits, or simply getting additional research if Platy is busy. She's a fighter, and also maintains a 30% boost to scavenging and +200 to research. You want a scout because getting 7 AP on a specialist is a godsend.

He's the better of the two given scouts (the other being Jin) if only for his +5 HP recovery over her while in the colony. Use her anytime you've got research to recover on the map, or a valuable resource. Just keep her away from fights, as her slow recovery speed and attack damage make her extremely fragile. Her bio makes her sound insane, but she is actually stupidly overpowered in scavenging/research. Feel free to read into each specialist more and see what you think! I've listed a few of the ones I feel are best for an all-around beginner here. These specialists all have different traits and abilities. Option 3 will not help most new players as the world map is something often overlooked in people's introductory runs. If you find resources aren't that hard for you to manage, just stick with option 1.

The difference is whether you value colony durability or resource efficiency better. When you are looking at ideology, just make a decision between 1 and 2. Just get your feet wet, and see what can come of it. Don't worry, the game will be challenging enough.

Just select The first option for Environment, Catastrophes, and Resources.This will result in a difficulty level of 25% before getting to ideology.
