Quick Summary
Depraved is a Wild West–themed city builder that blends settlement construction with survival mechanics. You design towns and remote outposts to supply your population with necessities while coping with a harsh frontier environment.
Town Construction and Supplies
You’ll establish primary hubs and outlying posts to generate the essentials that keep people alive and productive. Key supply types include:
- Food sources and farms
- Building materials and raw goods
- Housing and basic services
- Outposts that extend supply reach
Plan placement and production chains carefully so resource flows remain steady as your settlement grows.
Environmental and Human Threats
The frontier throws several obstacles at your community. Primary dangers to prepare for are:
- Raids and criminal attacks from bandits
- Encounters with aggressive wildlife
- Harsh seasonal shifts that affect production
Managing these risks is central to maintaining a resilient town.
Practical Survival Hints
Strategies to improve town longevity and efficiency:
- Anticipate seasonal changes and stockpile or diversify production
- Build defenses, secure food, and research ways to repel predators
- Position outposts strategically to reduce response times to raids
Small emergency reserves and layered planning will dramatically reduce the impact of crises.
