Finding and Clearing Ruined Labs and Abandoned Bunkers

Across the post-apocalyptic overworld, the mod generates dusty bunkers, broken labs, and ruined stone buildings. Exploring these wasteland structures is key to scavenging resources, though broken walls and dark interiors make them prime territory for ambushes.

Locating Wasteland Structures

1. Climb hills or build dirt lookout pillars to scan flat areas—especially the Dehydrated Windlands—for unnatural stone silhouettes, ruined walls, and bunker entrances.

2. Mark your home coordinates with F3 before following trails of ruined structures, since wandering between craters and wasteland landmarks makes it easy to lose direction.

Clearing Structures Step by Step

1. Approach broken labs during the day so surface mutants like Scrapers, Overgrown Scorpions, and Hunchbacks do not surround the entrance while you are inside.

2. Place torches immediately as you step into dark bunker corridors to stop hostile mobs from spawning behind you.

3. Use spare blocks to seal off breached walls and side rooms, clearing one section at a time so mutants cannot flank you in tight spaces.

4. Convert cleared stone buildings or underground bunkers into temporary wasteland shelters by sealing every opening with solid blocks and doors before sorting your inventory.
