Wanderer's Notes
Hard-won advice, repeated until it became common sense. Read it before the wasteland teaches it to you the expensive way.
“Running away is not losing. It is the most reliable survival tool you have.”
“Check your squad’s races against a region before you travel into it.”
“Train Athletics early — a fast squad chooses which fights happen.”
“Toughness is trained by losing. Get downed where guards will save you, then heal and repeat.”
“Never travel with a single character. A second body can drag the first to safety.”
“A garru pack animal carries the loot you would otherwise leave in the sand.”
“Squin is the safest beginner base. If you are lost, go there.”
“Buy a Bonedog puppy early and raise it through your squad’s fights.”
“Fight at chokepoints. Being surrounded, not being outmatched, is what kills squads.”
“Heavy armour is stronger than it looks. Put it on your front-line tank.”
“A bite from a slaver patrol is not the end — captivity trains Strength and Toughness.”
“Beak Things are fast. The only safe response to one is a head start.”
“Skeletons ignore hunger, sleep and acid rain. They are the wasteland’s explorers.”
“Sell Ancient tech and research books to Tech Hunters — they pay far better.”
“Pick your base location before your base design. Location decides the whole run.”
“The Fog Islands eat the downed. A loss there is usually permanent.”
