Treat shelter as part of your expedition plan. The developer’s immunity update describes alien atmospheric pathogens and an EON-sealed base as a safe place between trips.
Immunity and the alien atmosphere
Hive Update #14 introduced an immunity system tied to Sota7’s atmosphere. The developer describes sealed structures as places where the atmosphere does not affect immunity. Check your current build’s status display: this announcement does not establish a universal countdown for every expedition.
Prepare before leaving
- Check the survival indicators visible in your game.
- Bring supplies appropriate to your current objective.
- Check that your gathering tools are equipped.
- Keep the way back to shelter in mind.
Wildlife is another reason to stay alert
The official site warns that some creatures will not tolerate a close approach. Give yourself room to retreat. The self-defense guide explains why “research-focused” should not be read as “no danger.”
Avoid untested survival shortcuts
Exact food values, immunity drain rates and consumable effects are not verified here. Read the current item descriptions instead of relying on a fixed number from an older demo.
