01 / THE GUIDE
Underground Shelter Construction
The core objective is to build a hidden underground shelter where Mr. Prepper can operate safely. Construction requires gathering materials, maintaining secrecy, and assembling various facilities such as farms and greenhouses.
Shelter design influences how long you can survive and how effectively you can resist the regime’s surveillance. The game does not specify a fixed blueprint, allowing you to decide the layout based on available resources.
- Consider placing farms near ventilation shafts for easier access to sunlight.
- Balance the number of machines with the amount of scavenged material to avoid resource shortages.

Survival depends on maintaining food production, power, and shelter integrity. The description mentions farms, greenhouses, and vehicles as examples of craftable items that support life.
- Prioritize farming equipment early to secure a steady food supply.
- Vehicle crafting can aid in faster exploration of distant scavenging sites.
