| Name | In-game journal | Spots nearby | Nearest fast travel post |
|---|---|---|---|
| Crater | A massive crater formed by the impact of a moon fragment. The crater is filled with strange but valuable moon debris. However, the extreme cold makes it a perilous place to explore, with only the most prepared daring to venture into its frozen depths. | 53 | Horizon (about 280 m) |
| Frozen Pond | This icy pond is marked by the grim remains of those killed by the Moon Cult, their bodies impaled on sharp ice shards. It seems the victims were random travelers, trying to reach Metropolis. | 21 | Church (about 380 m) |
| Gas Station | — | 1 | Horizon (about 230 m) |
| Military Area | A military complex built into the mountainside, once filled with advanced communication technology and radar systems. Fortifications and underground bunkers were meant to protect crucial military infrastructure, but today remain only as testimony to former military might. | 111 | Horizon (about 220 m) |
| Shallow Rift | A geological anomaly that appeared near House Camp's northern border—a crack in the earth revealing valuable mineral deposits. Settlement inhabitants used these resources for crafting and construction, treating the rift as an unexpected gift from nature. | 71 | Church (about 150 m) |
