Use this page when the session feels scattered

Open Checklists when you need one ordered sequence for the current stage. If you already know the exact guide topic, use Guide Library. If you need a topic shelf instead of a task list, use Database.

Base cleanup Use a checklist when the base exists but the run still feels messy Best when storage, build order, power, or scanner timing all feel half-solved at once.

Risk check Use a checklist before opening a deeper or rarer run Best when the next route could pay off, but one missing prep step would still throw the trip.

What this hub tracks

Opening survival, first base setup, deep-run prep, rare runs, and co-op split decisions.

How to use it

Open one checklist, solve one stage, and move on instead of treating the hub like a long archive.

Why it feels different

It keeps the site honest by showing that progression advice can be checked, saved, and revisited.

Quick answer

Use checklists when the run feels messy. They are best for moments when you are alive but unsure what the next stable action should be: first hour priorities, first base follow-up, deep run prep, rare material loadouts, or co-op role cleanup.

Real checklist moments

These are the situations where a checklist saves the run fastest.

Checklists work best when the problem is not missing information, but missing order. These scenes show when a short confirmation pass is better than reading another long guide.

Route order The route is opening up faster than your prep habits.

This is where a deep-run or route checklist can stop a player from confusing confidence with readiness.

Open deep-run checklist

Base order The base exists, but the next useful build still is not obvious.

Use a checklist when the player needs to confirm storage, power, scanner timing, and next systems in one calm pass.

Open after-first-base checklist

Team cleanup Co-op sessions waste time when nobody confirms roles, deposit rules, or the run goal.

A short checklist can remove more friction than another paragraph when the team problem is shared discipline, not missing lore.

Checklist match tool

Answer two quick questions and open the right checklist first.

This planner is built for players who know the run feels wrong but do not want to open several pages just to find the right checklist. Pick the stage, name the kind of help you need, and use the matched checklist before branching into deeper guides.

1. Where is the run stuck?

2. What kind of help do you need right now?

The match tool prefers one checklist that removes the current friction first, then points to the next supporting guide.

Checklist ladder visual

Think of progression as a sequence of gates. Each checklist should confirm one gate is actually solved before you move to the next.

Opening

First hour stability checklist

Use this when the opening still feels stressful and you need to know whether survival basics are actually stable yet.

Return route learned: you can get back to start without guessing.
Food and water are calm: the next route does not start from emergency pressure.
First useful tool is named: the next craft clearly improves survival or scanning.
