Plan your next Exodus Borealis session
Our independent guide breaks down Exodus Borealis into concrete observations, helping you refine each core pillar—from settlement layout to elemental tower synergy—so you can build a resilient colony without relying on undocumented tricks or hidden bonuses.
01 / THE GUIDE
Map Expansion Paths
Draw the six islands on paper and mark potential road links. Compare distances to existing structures and note which islands benefit from early connection work, aiding future settlement planning.
- Map out road connections early to simplify later island expansion.
- Cluster similar building types to reduce travel distance for colonists.
02 / THE GUIDE
Resource Flow Audit
Track a full day cycle of your colony's resource usage. Identify any resource that falls below a safe threshold and adjust job assignments to balance the shortfall.
- Track resource consumption before each season change.
- Prioritize essential supplies when environmental conditions become harsh.
03 / THE GUIDE
Research Impact Chart
List all available research options and rank them by impact on production or defense. Test the top two choices in separate runs to see which yields smoother progression.
- Target research that improves resource yields before expanding defenses.
- Combine research upgrades that complement each other for synergistic effects.
04 / THE GUIDE
Maze Efficiency Test
Create two small tower mazes with differing path lengths. Observe enemy loss rates and note which layout forces more encounters with high‑damage towers.
- Use narrow corridors to force enemies through several tower ranges.
- Place high‑damage towers at junctions where enemy paths converge.
05 / THE GUIDE
Elemental Synergy Experiment
Place matching elemental towers in a cluster and record damage spikes. Then replace one with an opposing element to see how nullification reduces overall effectiveness.
- Group matching elemental towers to increase combined damage.
- Separate opposing elements to avoid nullification in critical zones.
