01 / THE GUIDE
Waypoint Placement Timing
Place a few waypoints early in a resource‑rich area, then add more after the camp expands. Note differences in travel time and supply return rates between the two phases.

- Balance shelter construction with defensive structures for steady progress.

- Assign one player to resource gathering while another focuses on building.
- Communicate when placing defenses to cover likely enemy approaches.
