Anomaly Zone

Added

PDA: Handbook tab

Search, recently opened list, checklists that remember your ticks. Sections: Getting Started, Zones and Biomes, Contamination, Emissions, Artifacts, Gear, Trade, Quests, Structures, Enemies and NPCs, Controls, Lore, FAQ. Dossiers for 27 anomalies, with filters by type. Each covers a description, how it works, what’s dangerous about it, where it spawns, what it drops, and a tip. Animated pages and anomaly photos. Articles link to each other and pull current values from the settings.

Artifact containers

Every container now has a description and its own back model: Berloga, Hive, KSM, Zone Legend, Skif, Kontur, Kovcheg, Frost, Filter, Lead, Screen. The tooltip shows slot count and the container’s own stats. “Total bonuses” is now “Total (container + artifacts)”. Added blueprints for Berloga and Zone Legend. They drop in large structures, and the barter trader crafts the container.

Map builder tools
