Early Metal Route
Haybots leave scrap that can be refined into useful early material. A short route through nearby ruins can support the first vehicle, but fighting several bots at once is riskier than returning for a second trip.
Collect Without Losing the Run
- Listen before entering a ruin and pull one bot into open space.
- Refine only when the area is safe.
- Bring recovered material home before exploring farther.
