I finished gathering resources with a few days more to go so you can definitely make some mistakes and be still on track. However, when reading this you should be getting an idea where are you compared to my playthrough, what needs to be done during different days and what is the plan for the next ones. You want be able to copy it 100% because of randomness (such as how many sick do you have during the night) and which depots did you take first. Please use this guide almost like a walkthrough. Otherwise, the storm might be faster than you. The only exception is the top of the map, you have to rush your top locations. Scouting locations may have a little different names (and it doesn't help that I play different language version) but if you are in doubt, I usually went to the closest location and followed the natural route from one side to another. Before starting this scenario on Survivor, please complete it on Easy, possibly saving New Manchester. I assume you know the layout of this map and are familiar with the game concept and how to, well, survive. However, around day 15 when the New Manchester's survivor arrives, my city was almost at the autopilot. If you mess up in survivor, you may as well restart. The only difference between different difficulty levels is how good start you can have and get away with it. All general pieces of advice will be available under 'A New Home' survivor achievement, once I'll complete it.Īs with every single playthrough in this game, getting solid start is the ultimate solution. This solution will be exhaustive so I added a TL:DR section with laws and techs for those who don't want to read a 7 A4 pages long wall of text. Obviously this solution works there as well, hard will be much easier and you should be able to save New Manchester if you want to.

Although it's possible, we'll be partly ignoring New Manchester for this playthrough as it does make things a lot harder.Ī quick note, difficulties don't stack! Unfortunately if it's your second playthrough, you'll have to make another one on hard. Step by step guide to finish The Arks in Survivor mode.
