West Wood Remake Key Locations
Contracts and keys all point at the same handful of civic buildings. If you can find the store, church, power station, warehouse, and dealer without opening a menu, you are already better than most ten-player servers.
General Store: next to burned House 1, badge Let’s Go Shopping, interior often safer than a porch if you were not seen. Church: corn contracts, crystal beacon, bad night skyline. Power station: key hunts and outage stories, tied to Who Turned off The Lights?. Warehouse: gated loot. Dealer: daylight only. Signal tower / radio: remake comms. River and bridges from Environment 3: a commitment, not a shortcut — see updates. Cliff border: do not test it for fun in a blizzard.
The small walk-through sneak peek is a route, not a trailer: HUD meters, birch and dry grass, a civic building on your left. Pause it to learn how health, stamina, thirst, and hunger sit on screen before you treat Alberta like a lobby.
Route that hits everything once
Spawn, contracts, store crystal, dealer, church, power station, warehouse fence, then a chosen house. That is a full daylight lap. If weather on the weather page is already hostile, cut the warehouse and live. Keys do not cash out if you freeze on the access road.
At night these landmarks become magnets. Jerry’s original pathing liked church and shop loops. If your contract still points here after dusk, send a lure via phones or wait. Civic bravery is how highlight videos get uploaded by other people.
The civic lap that pays the night
Spawn, contracts, store crystal, dealer, church, power station, warehouse fence, chosen house. That is a full daylight lap. If weather on the weather page is already hostile, cut the warehouse and live. Keys do not cash out if you freeze on the access road. Outages tie the station to Who Turned off The Lights?. The store ties to Let’s Go Shopping. The dealer ties to 711. The church ties to corn. This is a systems town wearing a horror coat.
At night these landmarks become magnets. Original pathing liked church and shop loops. If your contract still points here after dusk, send a lure via phones or wait. Civic bravery is how highlight videos get uploaded by other people. The signal tower spotted in the camera sneak is a comms landmark until a patch names it louder. Cliff borders are not shortcuts in a blizzard.
The small walk-through sneak peek is useful because it is a route, not a trailer. Watch how the HUD shows health, stamina, thirst, and hunger as real meters. Eat on a schedule. Drink on a schedule. The town is not a hallway. It is a set of jobs with lights on top. When you can run this lap without opening a menu, you are ready for badge hunting instead of sightseeing.
Frequently asked questions
Short answers before you queue.
Where is the warehouse key used?
On the warehouse. Interior loot is the point. Do not park there at night without a watcher.
What is the signal tower?
Spotted in the camera sneak peek radio GUI. Treat it as a comms landmark until a patch names it louder.
Is the church safe?
It is a delivery sink with a huge silhouette. Safe is the wrong word. Useful is closer.
Where do I refill water?
Public sessions mention a water tower and a canteen that can overfill. Landmark it on your civic lap; do not hunt it at night.
Is the church a spawn of contracts only?
Corn deliveries, crystal beacon, bad night skyline. Useful, not safe. Two people after dusk.
