1 · Warm up and reach the train
Get inside the station to recover warmth, then reach the train in the front yard. Do not use the first outing to fill every inventory slot.

From the first warm shelter to a working train and a planned bunker return.
2 · Supply heat before demanding speed
Feed the engine, set the heat valve and check pressure. Raise throttle while watching the gauge. Clear blocked tracks with a crowbar or by damaging the debris.
3 · Make a usable carriage
Enclose the carriage, close doors, repair damaged walls and place heating. Organize the workstations around the supplies you need next.
4 · Prepare a retreat
Before scavenging, agree on a return point and leave room for loot. In a crew, divide engine monitoring, scavenging and lookout duties so everyone does not leave the train unattended.
5 · Treat the shrine as a commitment
Prepare before taking from a bunker shrine. Once the last pilgrim leaves or falls inside, the bunker seals and cannot be reopened. Coordinate the final departure and collect what you need before leaving. If a corpse remains when the bunker collapses, its inventory returns to the recovery point, but any carried relics break.
