New players should read the beginner guide first, then use the walkthrough as a route map. For the full site map, use the wiki hub.
Beginner / walkthrough
The beginner guide explains the core loop; the walkthrough connects preparation, safehouse management, exploration, progression and endings without replacing the specialist guides.
Stockpile
Use the stockpile guide for what to prioritize before the outbreak. It covers categories and route principles without inventing prices, weights or perfect quantities.
Safehouse
Use the safehouse guide for the multi-floor shelter, room planning, fortification and long-term base decisions.
Power
Use the power guide for diesel, manual and solar power trade-offs, including what remains unverified.
Food & resources
Food and resources are split by player problem: crafting, food spoilage, cooking, farming and exploration.
Defense
Use the zombie horde guide for shelter attacks, defense planning and the current boundary between confirmed facts and undocumented values.
Characters
The characters hub tracks confirmed starting identities. The warehouse manager guide explains the warehouse keeper name, community aliases and verified limits.
Progression / Planning Points
Use the Planning Points and rebirth guide for persistent progress, death-loop framing and character-unlock guidance that has been announced so far.
Endings
Use the endings guide for the verified ending framework and the evidence gate around requirements.
Latest updates / verification
Use updates for developer announcements. This wiki publishes only official or gameplay-verified facts; unknown values stay unpublished.
How Survival Log works
One death gives you a glimpse of the future. Before the outbreak you scavenge supermarkets, hardware stores and farmers' markets, then fortify your home with furniture, appliances and construction materials. After the outbreak you manage a multi-floor safehouse: stockpiles, farming, cooking, diesel/manual/solar power, and hunger, stamina and morale. Every failure becomes experience for the next run.
Read the stockpile guide for what to hoard, the safehouse guide for building your shelter, and the power guide to keep the lights on.
