Survival tent

The survival tent is a movable camp in Fallout 76.

Characteristics
The survival tent is a small tent that contains a stash box, a sleeping bag, a cooking station, a scrapbox and a banjo.

Usage
Survival tents are used to create mobile settlements that the player character can deploy nearly anywhere in Appalachia away from marked locations. They can be placed or moved by opening the Favorites wheel and pressing the appropriate button. Survival tents are only accessible by Fallout 1st members.

If the survival tent placement is invalid, the device will be outlined in red. Otherwise, the survival tent will be outlined in green, indicating a valid placement. A survival tent can be moved to a different location by redeploying and unlike the C.A.M.P., this option is free. Once placed, the player character will have a personal camp in an area centered on the survival tent.

Locations
The survival tent is acquired by the player character in Vault 76 on the way out into Appalachia. There is a pile of survival tents behind the stand, but none of these can be taken. Player characters can also find survival tents placed by other characters on the same server.

The player character can place their survival tent outside wherever there is a relatively flat terrain that is not near existing structures nor in a restricted area. The immediate area around Vault 76 and the Whitespring golf club are examples of restricted areas. Player characters are able to place their survival tent adjacent to their teammates' to connect them and construct larger settlements.

Behind the scenes
The survival tent was developed from documentation to release by systems designer Matt Cesario.
