Biome route

Deep North progression guide

Upcoming final biome. Track only confirmed or officially teased details until release.

Field note

What to do next

Do not build a final Deep North route yet. Track official teasers, keep Public Test notes clearly labeled, and prepare a safe returning-player route only after live release.

Read this as the minimum safe loop: enter prepared, secure the resource, solve the main hazard, then clear the next gate.

Before entering

  • +Wait for official live release or clearly labeled Public Test content.
  • +Review save-system warnings before testing Public Test builds.
  • +Keep backup gear and world backups separate from a main long-term world.

First objectives

  • +Follow official news, Steam announcements, and Public Test notes.
  • +Track teased Deep North food and build pieces without turning them into final recipes.
  • +Back up worlds before joining Public Test branches.
  • +Keep unexplored Deep North areas available if world-generation changes matter.
  • +Prepare a returning-player route after official release.

Checklist

  • +Check official news.
  • +Review Steam announcements and Public Test notes.
  • +Separate confirmed, teased, Public Test, and speculation labels.
  • +Back up worlds before testing unstable branches.
  • +Mark claims as confirmed, teased, speculation, or unknown.

Recommended gear

  • +Unknown until official release

Food and meads

  • +Officially teased: meatballs with lingonberries; final stats unknown
  • +Unknown until official release

Common mistakes

  • +Publishing speculation as fact.
  • +Assuming Public Test details will ship unchanged.
  • +Treating teased food names or build pieces as final progression requirements.
  • +Testing new save systems without a backup.
  • +Exploring unreleased zones without understanding world-generation implications.
