THE FIELD MANUAL
What is your next step?
Start with a safe expedition, build a working lab, then make each discovery support the next. Pick the task you are trying to finish.
Your first expedition on Sota7
Choose a mode, establish a safe return point and turn your first field trip into useful research.
Manage immunity, food and the trip home
Separate immunity from hydration and stamina, choose useful food and make safer return decisions.
Build a laboratory that keeps growing
Plan water, power and plant space before bringing fragile specimens back to an unfinished base.
Crossbreeding: from specimen to hybrid
Set up plant experiments, graft the right branch and turn a useful result into repeatable seed stock.
From one specimen to a reliable harvest
Use plant darts, automatic Grow Beds and a reserve of seeds to make field research support your base.
Fix missing materials and unresponsive tools
Activate passive collection tools, read map quantities and place storage where crafting stations can reach it.
From the Valley to the Pass: expedition planning
Choose regional targets by their resources and hazards, then plan the collection and return together.
