For Endzone – A World Apart players, this is a beginner Walkthrough guide that will help you get a good start. This Walkthrough is valid as of the ‘ Livestock ‘ update .
Introduction
- It’s hoped you have completed the in game tutorial first. 🙂
- Survivalist Game where speed will kill!.. Micro Managing is key!
- Completely Normal difficulty. No Mods!
- Map seed for those that want to play along: 556684288#2112121003000101111222000.
- Approx time for this Walkthrough = approximately 5 hrs.
- Pause often and/or after each step.
- Hit the Build Next button to focus your builders.
- Save after each Phase!! This is more for me than you 🙂 but a good practice to adopt.
- Build Infrastructure first then SLOWLY add population.
- Set limits due to lack of space early on. This will also free your settlers once a limit is reached to do the work that unassigned settlers will do in your colony.
- EG: Set cloth/plastic/electronics/metal to 50 then slowly increase as needed.
- Food to 25,000.
- Wood/scrap to 1500.
- Neck scarfs and masks to 50 then slowly increase masks as needed.
- Radiation suits to 20 (use those equipped with these for your expeditions).
- Scrap tools, metal tools to 50 then increase metal tools as your ability to produce them
increases.
Decorations: I have not included a lot of these in this Walkthrough as we need the resources to get a start. This does not mean they are not important.. they are for ‘Confidence’.
Note: Don’t worry if you do not finish the walkthrough by season 40, it’s a rough guide that will show you the non researchable buildings, their mechanics and how to basically start a settlement.
Very Important settings:
Note: These settings should be checked but just make sure. 🙂
- To make it easier to see the damage of your buildings by simply mousing over and
- To easily locate buildings of the same type (build mode only).
Go to Options > Game and check
- Show Building Tool Tip in Gameworld
- Highlight Buildings in Build Mode.
(If in Game already, Select the ESC key to access the Menu then follow the above.)

Getting off to a start, some basic needs including food, water and housing for population growth.
- Pause the game to take stock.
- Note: Sadly you will need to manually pause the game whenever loading a previous game and starting a new game.
- Set your limits.
- Note: This will help with freeing up workers to complete tasks or simply move things around as needed throughout the game.
- Place task. (‘Gather all’, which is needed at the beginning of the game)
- Make 3 of your workforce Builders. (This will change as you build)
- Pause all buildings as you place them.
- Place 6 cabins. (To begin population growth.)
- Place Well. (1 worker)
- Note: Place these near your housing so your settlers do not have to travel far.. will help to avoid thirst death spirals.
- Place Fishing Hut. (2 workers)
- Note: Use the Fishing hut to measure the distance between Jetty’s. They have a Proximity debuff if placed to close together.
- Place Jetty.
- Note: You only need 1 jetty for up to 4 Cisterns/Water Towers assuming you decide to keep them close.. for this Walkthrough we will spread them out. using a 1:1 ratio for ease of learning. Just remember.. place your Cisterns / Water Towers close by your jetty’s to reduce travel time!
- Place 2 Cisterns. (2 workers)
- Note: Ensure to turn off gathering water from the well, we want the water collectors to use the lake only.
- Upgrade Mounted bus.
- Note: Only upgrade once or you will end up getting tasks to increase your population by 15+.. very bad early on!! Do not change the storage options within this building yet!!
- Place 1 Temporary Storeroom. (near your fishing hut)
- Note: You can select what every storeroom can hold. In this case we only want to store food. Uncheck Raw Materials, Radiation Protection, Tools and Medication
- UNPAUSE THE GAME.. then Unpause 2 buildings at a time starting with your well and fishing hut.. then 2 cabins.. jetty + 1 cistern.. 2x cabins.. 2nd cistern.. 2x cabins and finally your Temp Storage.
- Note When buildings complete.. build roads then place all builders as settlers to gather as many resources until season 5.
- Save Game!

- Note: Remember to change your workers so that at least you have 1x Settler & 1x builder. More is better!! 🙂
- Note: From this point on you can either pause the game and place your buildings then unpause them 2 buildings at a time.. be aware.. the game reserves resources when doing this.. or you can build as you place a building.. either way is fine.
