Tidehaven: prepare for the Demo’s second region
Tidehaven is the Demo’s second region. Expect fewer Supply Crates, your own food and water production, Resource Hubs for automated collection, and flyers that bypass walls. Equipment carries over, so check the new region’s requirements before farming every upgrade in region one.

Prepare by task
Survival: production replaces reliance on crates
Crates are much less common than in region one. Check carried and stored supplies first, then plan around the production available in Tidehaven. The source guide explains this regional change; it does not claim the complete current production recipes.
Collection: find a relay before planning more Hubs
Explore for a Drone Relay and its Automation Core. Each Hub requires one Core. Build and verify a Hub through the dated walkthrough, then use the separate Priorities guide if the wrong resources fill the inventory.
Defense: prepare air coverage as well as walls
Flying enemies cross walls and target defenses. The Interceptor is explicitly strong against air and weak against ground targets. The Nova Mortar adds slow area damage against large hordes; the cited announcement does not specify all of its target restrictions. See the defense guide for v0.3.9 changes and the limits of a fixed-layout recommendation.
Progress: keep equipment and recheck thresholds
Equipment persists across regions, and later equipment Terraform requirements can be discounted. Do not assume a uniform percentage or that every item is cheaper. Meet your population objective and use the powered home relay when ready to leave.
Two Demo regions; Winterbloom is the planned third
As checked November 2, the official Early Access announcement plans a third region, Winterbloom, for the fuller release. It is not a third Demo walkthrough on this site. This page is a preparation reference for Tidehaven, not a complete clear route or an exact build order.
