Map & Locations
Permafrost's Early Access build limits play to the starting region — the rest of the world map is blocked by an invisible wall for now. There is no in-game coordinate grid, so instead of a fake interactive map, this page indexes the real, named locations you will actually visit, with links to the guides that cover them.
We deliberately do not publish a hand-drawn or AI-generated world map. As soon as verifiable map material exists, this page will be upgraded.
Known locations
Bone Cave
Early-game cave with flint and copper boulders — and the injured dog, guarded by a bear.

Hunter's Glade
Skinwalker's lookout tower; rebuilding it rewards the tailoring bench blueprint and a bigger backpack.
Solar Facility
Mid-game loot site: schematics (flare-gun ammo, batteries, refined iron tools), the TR22 rifle and the legendary Permafrost armor set on a corpse.
Regions in story order
The Woods (start)
Where you wake up: the tutorial cave, the road to Horizon, and the bone cave with your dog. Flint, copper and coal boulders; deer and wolves.
Horizon
The main survivor camp and quest hub — traders, a repair bench, a fast-travel sled post. Building is not allowed here.
Hunter's Glade
The Skinwalker's lookout tower in the Woods; the best early hunting grounds and the tailoring-bench questline.
House Camp & the Church
Anna's settlement: wall-and-gate renovations under Moon Cult pressure, a dismantling bench, and the kitchen-stove schematic.
Solar Facility & Solar Fields
Mid-game loot country: weapon and tool schematics, the TR22 rifle, the legendary Permafrost armor set, iron and sulfur.
Urban District & Metropolis ruins
The ruined city at the region's edge — denser loot, more bandits.
White Hell (roadmap)
The frozen deep zone announced for a future update (Update 4), with the City Mall — not accessible in the current build.
