Permafrost Map and Exploration Guide

Steam confirms a frozen open world where city ruins fade into wilderness and faction-controlled territories shape exploration. The map page is ready for locations, but does not invent coordinates.

Confirmed map layers

The official description names frozen cities, wilderness, faction-controlled territories, abandoned shelters, and broken machines. It also says progress is earned through exploration and adaptation.

  • City ruins and urban scavenging routes.
  • Wilderness travel and exposure risk.
  • Faction territories and their navigation constraints.
  • Shelters and machines as progression anchors.

Map data standard

Every marker added after launch should include a screenshot, approximate coordinates or a named landmark, access condition, resource category, and weather note. A map without an evidence state becomes a rumor board quickly, especially in Early Access.

Not yet verified

No location names, map size, coordinates, faction borders, or shelter positions are published here ahead of hands-on testing.
