Build 42 First Week Checklist — Interactive Survival List

This is the interactive version of our first week survival guide. Tick each task as you complete it — your progress is saved in your browser, so you can close the tab and come back to the same checklist. Every item links to the deep-dive guide it belongs to. All values reflect Build 42 stable (42.20).

How to use this checklist

Work top to bottom and treat it as a race against the water shutoff: items 1–4 are day-one tasks, 5–9 are the first three days, 10–14 are the first week's projects, and 15–18 are the momentum builders that decide whether week two starts from a base or from a corpse. If you only finish four items, make them the backpack, the weapon, the safehouse and the water.

For the day-by-day narrative version with timings, read the first week survival guide; for the reference tables that power several items, see recipes and water & power.
