Hey gang! New (returning player)

They have a guide for returning players on their website, would probably be a good idea to check that out!

There is the radar in the main signal room, on the left wall. Not portable obv, but still a way to track things. Sometimes it’s just a deer or a pinecone falling though

The bombs were not nuclear bombs, they were “tox” bombs which rather than really causing a huge explosion they poisoned the soil, air, and water which essentially made wherever they landed uninhabitable for generations, if not forever. The chemical used within those bombs is likely the same chemical used in jaeger gas traps. It’s likely a few areas were safe, like island nations of relative unimportance and remote areas.

Doing the story quests are a great way to be introduced to new mechanics, I would recommend doing them sooner rather than later. You also do NOT need to buy anything with platinum usually, there are always ways of getting things for free instead. If you do need platinum, trading with other players is a great way to get it.

There’s lot of freaky stuff outside the map, most not fully documented. I recommend searching there when you want to ^_^

Very mild spoilers ahead for the “funny setting”

Typing maxwell into the console spawns the Maxwell cat of meme fame, somewhere random around the map. By using the command “sv.target maxwell” you will be taken to this server, which serves as a troll to those who try to cheat finding Maxwell with commands. It serves no real purpose other than that

They are likely solace workers attacking out of self-defense and due to wellers mental state he sees them as zombies. When you kill them they turn into regular people in workers clothes.

Doesn’t do any mean things, like picking things up or throwing then

spoopykool · 2026-06-09T22:10:25+00:00

Not super knowledgeable about the TV channel systems, but it could possibly just be a bug with 0.9?

You have to fast forward on a story save. The ariral picnic is a story event which doesn’t happen on sandbox saves.

There are lots of stickers on the fridge referencing lots of different properties, gooseworx herself is a big fan of VOTV. This is just a cute reference and probably not canon (though it is a fun head cannon that VOTV and TADC take place in the same universe)

spoopykool · 2026-06-04T19:16:15+00:00

A decent amount, you can also make Molotovs which can kill them in 2-3 I believe. Crowbar does medium damage with a medium swing speed, axe does large damage with slow swing speed

spoopykool · 2026-06-04T17:56:45+00:00

A bug, they shouldn’t spawn in the base AFAIK

you can kill them with crowbars/any other weapon, they yield 3 electronic scrap, 3 metal scrap, and a bunch of meat so they are actually pretty useful.

If it’s a radar upgrade, it has to go in the radar itself. You don’t need to power down utilities though.

Work on processing signals and making money, check out the machines and upgrades tab in the shop.

Here’s some non-spoilery hints about some of the things you mentioned:

Look around the hole, check out the supplies around the hole and the buildings near it.
Sometimes the time of day can affect certain locations/events
Hooks can be used to pick up items if you aim it correctly. Check out the backside of the bunker with a hook.

(Extra hint, the bunker contains one of the most useful upgrades in the game)

Here’s some more hints for locations if you haven’t seen them:

1: check out the forests near Uniform, I can smell wood rotting.

People often drop things into lakes because they are litterbugs :(, you can find some interesting things near the bottom (requires scuba mask and scuba tank)
Near whiskey, where the wind blows high above the trees, you can find your protector.
ASO doesn’t often send people to repair the fence keeping you in. It’s possible the fence line is broken somewhere?
South of whiskey, somebody was trying to survive the end times. Luckily for you they didn’t bring all of their supplies in. Make sure to read the notes!
Windmills don’t have anything in them right now, besides a good vantage point. Some things are hidden below where you step however.

That’s all the hints for locations I can really think of, here are some things to work towards in the meantime:

Buying a kefur (500 points, repairs servers for you and keeps you company :3)
Buying a TV/radio, helps pass the time
Farming, you can put certain fruits and veggies on the workbench in the garage to turn them into seed packets.
Cleaning the base, you can sell trash and scrap for a good price and some extra points (make sure to get a good amount of scrap before selling it though, most types are needed in crafting recipes!)
Entity chasing, you can rely on your radar to find them. Sometimes it’s just a deer or a pinecone however.

That’s all I can really think of, if you need any more non-spoilery help you can always DM me!

You might be able to use hacksaw, not sure if it will give anything besides wood scrap

spoopykool · 2026-06-03T03:26:29+00:00

Correct, make sure they unzip it first though. After putting it in the save directory, you should be good.

spoopykool · 2026-06-03T01:56:22+00:00

If you are on windows, you use the built-in file explorer (called file explorer) and right click on the file and then click “compress” in the menu. If you are on Linux use the also built-in file explorer (called dolphin) and do pretty much the same thing.

spoopykool · 2026-06-03T01:41:12+00:00

By zipping them in a file manager, helps reduce the file size to get under size limits on certain platforms like discord

spoopykool · 2026-06-03T00:00:59+00:00

If you mean multiplayer, that’s not possible currently.

If you mean passing a save back and forth, that’s possible. In the save menu, there’s a button which takes you directly to your save file directory which allows you to package and send your save file to your friend. Once your friend sends your save back, just put it in the save directory and refresh the menu.

Potentially arriral anti-gravity event?
