A dark cave with remnants of long-dead animals. Used to be a temporary shelter for travelers… until the permanent resident settled in.
In-game journal
Bone Cave is a cave on the Permafrost world map. Travellers once used it as a place to shelter for a while, but a permanent occupant has since settled in, and the remains of animals long dead lie in the dark inside.
Flint Boulders and Coal Boulders line the main route through. A Stone Pickaxe breaks the Flint Boulders, but the Coal Boulders need a Flint Pickaxe. Near the cave there are also 2 Gold Boulder spots and 2 Moonrock Boulder spots. Mushrooms turn up at 16 spots nearby. Frozen bodies are the most common containers, with 7 nearby, and there is a Medical Supply Box. Recipe notes here teach the Refined Flint Axe. A bear lives in the lower cavern on the way to the far exit into the Woods.
Fast Travel: Horizon is about 160 m away in a straight line, and the Horizon safe zone is about 190 m away. Military Area is about 60 m off and Nomad Camp about 80 m. The main quests Dog Days and New Home lead through the cave: the dog lies beside a dead survivor in a chamber lit by a flare, a short walk in from the mouth by the frozen river.
