A hex is a basic unit of the main game map. Each one represents a certain dominant type of terrain and is roughly one square kilometer in size. The available scavenging locations depend on the kind of the hex the player is currently on.
Each hex has its own Ground storage grid (20x29 spaces), as well as few campsites available for the player to use. Items left on the hex, on the ground or at the campsite, will stay there until player picks them up, destroys them, they decay or are found and picked up by the NPCs.
