Red Lines

[Orca_Amity]

I have some red lines on my map and when I go there I die. How do I unlock the rest of my map? When I zoom out and look to the north, there's a red line above halfway up the map close to the town. Behind that red line is more map but at the moment I'm restricted from there. When I go there I die as if I was blown up. Speaking of that, in Navezgame, the same happens when I try to enter a fortress. Are there mines around it or are we not allowed in there at an early part? Every time I try and get in I die. These locations are not on the edge of the map.

That's the border of the map. You can not progress any further past that point. And the penalty is pretty ridiculous as you've already discovered lol.

 

Navezgane has almost a square border, whereas if you play a RGW, the border is a circle. I thought maybe I needed hazmat clothes when I 1st encountered it, but nope, nothing will work. Even if you go to bedrock and dig, you will be killed virtually immediately. You can however, get close enough to break down cars/iron if it's on the border. Just be sure to carry med kits incase you get hit by it.

 

Also, if you do what I did in the past, I've rode right into it and died. Leaving my minibike stuck in the dead zone. The only way I was able to get it back was to equip med kits on my toolbar and spam use them to get to my bike.

 

If you're playing Navezgane, you can find maps online, just remember if the entire north is covered in snow, that's the newer map, which console doesn't have.

 

If you're using a Seed, keep an eye on your location. Around 3,000km or so from 0.0 is about where it ends. So if you're near that, constantly bring up your map to avoid it. Though usually, when you get close, the sky will become grey, it'll rain, and usually it's always wasteland. Be careful of towns when they do sit on the border, cause I've seen some (past 2 seeds I've played) where the corner of the town dipped into the deadzone.

My bad, forgot the final question you had lol.

 

Around Military Camps, the ones with sandbag walls, indeed have landmines scattered around it for defense. You'll often hear them being triggered by zombies lol. But those are only around its perimeter, and not in the rest of the biome aside from the Wasteland.

 

You'll also come across mines at the Boobie Trap, and the Food Mart (Not Shamway) will have some in a small room with a gun safe. That was a harsh lesson lol. Boobie Trap has a few around the front and I believe the side of the building, as well as 2 inside the kitchen area and one on the stage. The Kitchen ones are a cooking pot in front of the Chemistry Station, and hubcap at the back door.

 

Ive never seen them around the actual Concrete walled Military Camps, so on Navezgane, the one in the Burnt Forest and one in the Snow Biome indeed have mines around it. I personally stand upon wood frames for better view, and a reliable path in and out. Of course, I also build a 1 block high wood frame wall around it so I don't accidentally drive right into them later on after I've found them. Yeah, I've experienced that too and nearly crapped myself when I realized where I was at lol.

 

Hope that helps some.
