## Water Budget

**Scenario allocation: five residents, four consumers.** The two PCs, June, and Biscoto eat and drink. Archie consumes neither water nor food. No food multiplier applies to Biscoto.

**Total starting stock: 112 purified waters + 16 dirty waters.** Use each character's thirst track to determine when they need another drink.

### Calculating Eight Days

**Assumptions:** four omelets and four purified waters at the first meal; all four organic residents are then Hydrated. Temperate weather, light activity, no losses. H+0 means this first meal, after cooking. Individual needs still follow the rulebook.

| Distribution for the four organic residents | Purified water spent | Stock remaining |
|---|---|---|
| H+0: first meal | 4 | 108 |
| 26 distributions, from H+6 to H+181, spaced 7 hours apart | 104 | 4 |
| Just before H+188: final distribution | 4 | 0 |
| Around H+195 | Nothing left to distribute | Dehydration resumes |

**Per person:** the first water covers 6 hours; the next 27 each cover 7 hours if drunk while Thirsty, before becoming Dehydrated. Therefore **28 waters × 4 people = 112 waters**, for a theoretical **6 + 27 × 7 = 195 hours**. **H+192, or eight days, is the practical reference point**, with only three hours to spare in this ideal calculation. Drinking times may fall during the night; combat, exertion, and heat reduce coverage.

**After four omelets and four purified waters:** **108 purified waters + 12 dirty waters** remain. Possible starting allocation: **54 purified for the PCs, 54 for June and Biscoto**, with the 12 dirty waters left at home for cooking. Both groups then have the same supply per person. Add water spent on the garden and preparations before packing the bags.

### What Actually Changes This Budget

- **Four noodle dishes at the first meal:** the four dirty waters also quench thirst. All 112 purified waters remain available: a theoretical **4 + 28 × 7 = 200 hours** of coverage per person, before exertion.
- **Mixed menus:** track each person. One soup's benefit does not give the entire group five extra hours.
- **Drinking dirty water directly:** improves thirst by one step, with normal irradiation. Biscoto is immune to radiation and poison. Remove each unit drunk from the cooking stock.
- **Purification:** the 12 remaining dirty waters yield **4 purified waters**, in **1 hour 20 minutes at one station**, before AP. Distributing them equally adds roughly 7 hours per person to the ideal calculation. They are then unavailable for the next three breakfasts in the sixteen-day menu: find more water or revise those meals.
- **Combat or strenuous exertion:** thirst worsens by one step at the end of the scene. Recalculate the next drinks; Biscoto's heavy labor also counts.
- **Heat above 32 °C:** thirst intervals are halved. This heat is not the starting assumption.
- **Rationing, purchases, or a new source:** adjust stock and timers. Eight days is a reference point, not a deadline imposed despite good decisions.

**At zero water:** continue tracking thirst states, then Fatigue and the specified HP losses. No one automatically dies at H+192. Reassess the water search using the actual reserves, needs, and time required.

## Food: Sixteen Days of Menus

**Stock before breakfast: 192 food items.** The quantities in the table provide **16 breakfasts, 80 other cooked dishes, and 64 canned meals**, plus 16 unused breakfast ingredients depending on choices. No dishes are prepared at the start.

**Preservation:** for this scenario, the salted or dried meat and sheltered pantry ingredients keep for this period. They still need cooking.

| Four-day cycle, repeated four times | First meal, for four | Other meals, for four |
|---|---|---|
| D1, D5, D9, D13 | 4 noodle dishes or omelets | 4 crispy squirrel bits, 12 hours later |
| D2, D6, D10, D14 | 4 crispy squirrel bits | 4 mole rat steaks, 12 hours later |
| D3, D7, D11, D15 | 4 ribeye steaks | 4 ribeye steaks, 12 hours later |
| D4, D8, D12, D16 | 4 Pork n' Beans | At +4 hours: 4 BlamCo; at +8 hours: 4 Pork n' Beans; at +12 hours: 4 BlamCo |

**Total:** 96 dishes and 64 canned meals for four people over sixteen days. The 16 breakfasts consume the **16 starting dirty waters**; purifying or drinking them requires revising those meals. Purified water is counted separately. The menu assumes a new water source before supplies run out, around D8.

**Cooking:** 32 crispy squirrel bits cost 32 squirrel bits; 16 mole rat steaks cost 32 meats; 32 ribeye steaks cost 32 brahmin meats. These common recipes have complexity 1, use Survival, and require no perk. Including the 16 breakfasts: **96 dishes × 20 minutes = 32 hours of work**, spread over time and between the two stations. Archie can cook at the fixed station during the expedition. The PCs can take the second station to prepare meals on the road.

**Canned and raw food:** hunger improves by 1 step; normal irradiation. Solid cooked dishes: hunger improves by 2 steps. Noodles: hunger improves by 1 and thirst by 1. Biscoto suffers no radiation from canned food. Observe the limit of one food consumption per scene; the four meals on the canned-food day are spaced apart. Rationing, harvesting, or changing the menu alters this duration.

## Medical Supplies and Consumables

All kits and doses start in the shared cupboard. The first aid kit is separate from Stimpaks and a doctor's bag.

References: pages 164-170 and 181.

## Workshop, Materials, and Energy

**Materials:** from the starting 96 common materials, a receiver leaves **93**; a compass **94**; the mobile water tank **92 common and 22 uncommon**. These totals include the 32 fuel materials. The 4 rare materials remain available. Prebuilt modules cost no materials to install. Add junk yields when scrapped; remove any tools sacrificed or bartered.

**Cooking:** a station needs one combustible common material after 8 hours of operation. The 32 fuel materials provide **256 additional hours**, to divide between the stations. Put out the fire after use; record actual time burning, not just successful recipes.

**Camp kitchen:** the second station breaks down into pot, grill, and tripod, **5 kg** total by scenario convention. If the PCs take it, it leaves the household: **Archie has only one station left**. Its remaining burn time is whatever remained at departure, after any preparations already completed. Deduct fuel carried from the 32 materials in stock.

**Meals on the road:** four ribeye steaks a day for two PCs use four brahmin meats and **1 hour 20 minutes of cooking**. This ordinary cooking fits within the 16 hours at camp on a day with 8 hours of walking, provided watches and **6 hours of sleep each** remain possible. Additional work exceeding those windows delays departure. Deduct ingredients and fuel used; no free rations are created.

**Workshop limits:** one repair station, one weapons workbench, and one robot workbench, all fixed. No chemistry, armor, or power armor station. No deluxe toolkit or multi-tool; ordinary tools do not reduce difficulty. The prepared stations and modules are part of this adventure's revised allocation.

**Fuel:** the rulebook gives no daily consumption for a Mr. Handy's thruster. The 20 shots supply only the flamer. Keep the radio, flashlight, and propulsion running throughout this adventure without daily tracking or adding recoverable fuel to stock.

References: pages 54, 91, 181-183, 208-210, and 216.

## Weapons, Ammunition, and Clothing

**Starting equipment for all five residents, carried and stored.** Reconcile the PCs' sheets with this inventory before play; character creation adds no extra supplies.

**Ammunition:** count shots without adding a full magazine to the quantities. The flamer's 20 shots appear under Workshop and energy in the main table. Biscoto's natural protection belongs to his profile, not to recoverable items.

References: pages 53-54, 91, 95, 111, 124, and 146.

## Containers, Tools, and Housing

**Container capacities are scenario conventions, expressed in servings.** No volume in liters is inferred from the rules.

**Ordinary equipment:** each PC has a household bag, canteen, bedding, and covering for travel. The two small bags each add **+2.5 × STR kg to maximum carry weight**. The other accessories grant no bonus.

**Water on site:** no usable source, no separate watering reserve. The crops survive on soil moisture and suffer from the lack of water. No water, milk, or animal manure production is added each morning. Any supplies actually gathered during play are added to stock.

**Transport:** filling a container removes the same amount from the fixed tank. The four usable canisters provide **capacity for 64 waters**. Add **2 per canteen**: **68 for the two PCs**, or **72 for all four organic residents**. Repairing the damaged tank or fitting it into the mobile water tank adds **64**, giving **132 for the PCs** or **136 for the household**. These totals describe empty containers, not acquired water.

**Loading:** the allocation of 54 purified waters fits in the PCs' 68 spaces. Count at most 27 kg of water, then containers, food, and equipment; also add the **5 kg camp station** if carried and check each PC's maximum carry weight. The wheelbarrow carries **60 kg, including the container**. A full mobile water tank represents at most 32 kg of water; it occupies the existing wheelbarrow. Do not count a second wheelbarrow or tank after assembly. These loading weights round water to 0.5 kg per serving when preparing the expedition.

**Scenery and salvage:** furniture, housing, and tools can be sacrificed for materials according to their nature. This destroys or impairs their use; no additional yield is credited until that choice is made. Ordinary accessories in this table grant no numerical bonus unless listed.

References: catalog tools pages 181-183; capacities, furniture, and crops set for the scenario.

## Caps, Recipes, and Personal Resources

**Inventory scope:** ordinary accessories are included in the two equipment groupings. Unlisted specialized gear, consumables, and items granting a bonus are unavailable at the start. Known recipes still require their ingredients and perks.

**Assumed standard of living:** sixteen days of menus, medical supplies for a few incidents, maintained tools, two firearms, and savings. No regular trading surplus. For comparison, one purified water costs 20 caps in the catalog: **1,200 caps would buy 60**, only if a seller has them and accepts that price. Sol offers up to that quantity at this price before haggling. Equipment resale value is negotiated separately.
