Procedural variation
Do not expect every building, item, or repair route to repeat in the same position.
One live biome · new locations · planned regions
The official store currently describes one live biome, American Suburbs, with three procedural variations. Patch #008 added the Grocery Store and Sheriff Station to its location pool; the developer explicitly said those additions were not a new map. The Early Access roadmap discusses three to four future biomes, but no fixed release date is established here.

|---|---|
| Procedural scope | Three variations selected across runs |

| Second map | Not released by Patch #008; the developer said a new map was still in development |
Route planning
Do not expect every building, item, or repair route to repeat in the same position.
The official description says collapsing areas can remove access to items, so late looting has a real route cost.
The Grocery Store and Sheriff Station add high-value location choices, while Patch #009 still notes lightning risk inside newer POIs.
Patch 0.36.10 added wood-fence breaking, and Patch #009 increased crowbar strength.
Planned scope
| Future regions | Three to four distinct biomes are planned |
|---|---|
| Named examples | Great Plains, High Sierras, and Desert |
| Other planned work | New weather events, game modes, gadgets, and quests |
| Timing | No fixed date claimed by this guide |
Quick answers
The current official store scope is one biome, American Suburbs, with three procedural variations.
No. Patch #008 added both to the existing American Suburbs location pool and explicitly said the update was not a new map.
The Early Access description names the Great Plains, High Sierras, and Desert as examples among three to four planned biomes.
This guide does not publish a date because the cited official sources do not establish one.
