Survival in a post-apocalyptic world comes with costs. For other needed supplies, such as parts, chemicals, or circuitry, use your intuition and search places (or objects) that seem most likely to have the needed supply. Sites that show multiple icons provide some or all of the resources shown. Sites that have Food, Meds, Materials, Ammo, or Fuel symbols guarantee you will find rucksacks of that resource. The type of supplies you can find there appear as icons in the site description (see image below). Open your map screen and highlight a particular site. To help your search, each site you’ve seen (either close up or by surveying from a high point) shows the kind of resources you’re likely to find. Usually, you’ll gather these supplies by scavenging whatever’s been left behind at the various buildings around town.
The resource you’ll need most often for facility management is materials, but facility actions and upgrades could also require meds, parts, or many other kinds of supplies.
Facility construction, actions, and upgrades all require supplies.
