There are 7 abandoned villages in the game Map, inhabited only by wild Animals and Vambies. In order to obtain all advanced technology, the player must visit all 7 villages and search for Technology Blueprints that are hidden out in the open in the buildings. In each of the Villages there are exactly 2 Technology Blueprints to be found. Loot is also scattered throughout the buildings of the villages, and it respawns in random indoor locations every 10 days.
The houses in the villages are only functional in that the player can enter them and search for loot in the various rooms. The player cannot interact with the furnishings such as stoves and beds. Vambies and predators do no damage to the structures, and they cannot enter the buildings if the doors are closed.
The buildings in villages provide no protection from cold in their natural state and no items can be placed in them. Creative players have, however, found ways to make some buildings livable by extending foundations from outside of the building into the inside and then deleting the outside foundations. The players can then place crafted items on the inside foundations. However, the prefab homes do not act like player-built homes in the way that they do not retain heat from player made heat sources. It is as if there are no walls.
Loot respawn[]
Once a game is created, a counter is started. At the start of the 11th day the loot is respawned.
Loot that hasn't been picked up is erased before all new loot spawns randomly across all villages, regardless if the Village has been visited or not.
However, the loot only respawns at the moment the save is (re)loaded.
Thus if the save is loaded on or after day 11, 21, 31, etc. the loot will have respawned.
