What is in the guide

The field guide covers every item, container and vehicle, the wildlife and the infected, all crafting recipes and an interactive map with the named places. Search also finds German item names.

The guide describes the default server settings. A server’s own settings and an item’s condition can change what you experience.

Pictures

Item pictures are the game’s own inventory icons. Photos are screenshots from PESTBOUND. The satellite map is made of top-down pictures rendered by the game, the topographic map is drawn from the game’s own map data.
