Fog Lamp Station First Night Route
Stabilize the lamp, build an interior loop, and avoid spending Heat before you understand the map.
This guide can affect the discovery experience. For a blind run, return to the game page and finish one playthrough first.
Opening priorities
Start by stabilizing the lamp and reading the hall. The first goal is not an ending; it is a safe loop that lets you return from mistakes with enough resources to continue.
Search practical rooms before chasing the strangest voice. Early supplies, map context, and generator access make later radio and archive work safer.
- Stabilize lamp pressure
- Search the main hall
- Open generator preparation
- Check radio only after you can recover Mind
Recommended sequence
A reliable first-night route is: add fuel, search the room, read the station map, move toward generator repair, then return to the hall before outdoor pressure stacks too high.
Once the generator route is visible, start building evidence. The watch room and archive are safer than a direct outside push, and they help later final choices explain themselves.
When to stop pushing
Stop an exterior chain when Heat becomes the main risk. Stop a radio chain when Mind drops into danger. Stop final preparation when the matrix tells you a safety item is missing.
The strongest first night ends with multiple nodes revealed, one or two clues confirmed, and enough resources to choose a second-night direction instead of recovering from panic.
