In Kickstarter update #36 we learn about camping, shelter and the transportation system of InSomnia:

Let's camp together

Camping is something you can do almost always and everywhere: during your global map adventures, while exploring specific locations etc. You will have a separate button in UI for this purpose:

Building a camp gives you an opportunity to craft items, manage inventory of your character and NPCs, have some food and water (yes, you will have to do that to survive), heal your wounds and rest to reduce the overall level of exhaustion.

Note that you won't be able to camp while being in combat mode or in company of any hostile creatures sniffing nearby. Some missions you might take won't give you an opportunity to rest until you finish, along with certain locations which are generally considered to be too dangerous to stay there for too long.

You should also remember that camping in abandoned corners of the station will likely get your party an unwanted company.

Your shelter

Each lost soul should have a place to call its own and you are not an exception. Your shelter is located on the territory of one of the station's military bases. Basically this location will offer you the same advantages as any other camp you build throughout the game. However the amount of features you'll be able to make a use of here is going to be slightly... bigger:

Here you will also find a special locker for everything you are too in love with to throw out, all your loyal companions you ever had in your party, a few merchants to suit your medical and technical needs etc. And of course what home it would be without workbenches of all sorts? You will definitely like this place.

Delivery terminals and instant transportation system

Station is a gigantic space ship so you can't always count on being around your shelter. This is when delivery terminals come to the rescue. This special tech can be found all over the place being connected with the help of complicated system of shafts.

By using these terminals you will be able to exchange items with the locker from your shelter. It will take some in-game time and you should be ready to wait even more if you find yourself too far from home.

To access the terminals you will need special cards which are rare. Also do not expect that all existing terminals will be perfectly functional - some of them will require extensive repair and other manipulations before you can actually use them.

You will be able to travel using a similar transportation system yourself:



Thanks for reading this update and until next time!
