Every real place could be the one.

☄️ Founders' Month (the launch month)

The first month of LBTC Survivors is the Founders' Month. Everything in it is decided by the game server, needs real GPS visits and a linked LBTC wallet, and can never be earned again once it ends. Follow it live on the Founders Wall.

🚀 Getting started

1. Open the game at latebitcoiners.com/survive, or install it as an app on your phone from the download page. It opens full screen with its own icon.
2. Create your survivor. Pick a name and a look (skin, hair, face, jacket, pack). You start with 150 shards and full health, food, water and energy.
3. Allow your location. GPS mode is the real game: every place you visit is a real place near you. No GPS? Home mode lets you explore with a joystick (see below).
4. Log in with your LBTC wallet so your shards are the same as on the website, LBTC Farm and the Arcade, and so NFTs you find are minted to your wallet.
5. Walk to a marked place and search it. Finish your 3 daily missions, keep your streak, and build a base when you have the materials.

📍 GPS mode, Home mode and fair play

One account, two ways to play. GPS mode uses your real position. Home mode (joystick, anywhere) shares your shards, level and inventory. It earns shards you can stake for LBTC, but never points, NFTs or the LBTC reward pool, so the biggest rewards go to people who really go out.

Implied speeds above 220 km/h are treated as a fake jump, unless the gap is long enough to be a real flight (Lisbon → London is fine). The server checks every action; a browser can never give itself loot.

🗺️ Places and scavenging

Every place on the map is a real place from OpenStreetMap. Search one and it rolls a loot haul; it then needs a rest before you can search it again. Busy places run low: each search takes 10 stock and places refill 12 an hour, so players spread out.

🎲 Loot hauls: from a handful to a jackpot

Every search rolls a haul that multiplies the loot. Real GPS visits make the big outcomes 2.5× likelier, Luck from your gear adds a little more, and Home mode never goes above a big haul.

A search can also drop a gear piece: 7% of GPS searches and 2% in Home mode, doubled on a big haul and ×4 on a huge haul or jackpot.

🥫 Staying alive

You have health, food, water and energy, each out of 100.

⚔️ The Arsenal: weapons, magic and armour

LBTC Survivors uses LBTC Farm's own gear: the same 10 bases, the same 10 tiers and the same stat tables, so an item means the same thing in both games. You wear a weapon and four armour pieces (head, body, hands, feet).

Every piece rolls random stats from its tier's table, up to ×1.12 of the listed value. Weapons always roll damage (staffs: fire, frost or void damage), armour always rolls armour or life.

In combat your gear gives attack, critical hits, life steal (up to 30%), armour (up to 75%), extra health, dodge (up to 40%), regeneration, Luck and XP. Gear wears down; repair it for 3 shards per point.

⚒️ Crafting, salvage and the forge

Craft from your resources anywhere (a 5-shard fee per craft).

Salvage and forge

Salvage breaks a gear piece into scrap, parts and essences of its tier (1 essence, 2 from Mythic, 3 from Celestial and up). The forge turns essences of one tier into a new piece of the next:

Lair keys

Street lairs of tier 4 and up need a key, forged from essences:

🛡️ Bunker expeditions and street lairs

The daily expedition

Every day the game picks a real bunker, fort or shelter within 15 km of you. Go there, then fight through it: up to 3 runs a day, 20 energy each. Inside wait mutant rats, ghouls and crawlers, and a boss at the end. Answer a question about the real place to claim the stash: ⚙️ 8 parts · 🔫 14 ammo · 💊 5 meds · 🔩 8 scrap · ⛽ 4 fuel at most, plus 80 shards, 70 XP and 15 points.

Street lairs

Each day some real places hide a lair: half of all shelters and about one in seven other places. A lair's tier is set by the place and the day: low tiers are common, high tiers rare. Its monsters and its gear come from its tier, not your level.

☢️ Radiation storms and airdrops

A radiation storm hits every 6 hours and lasts 30 minutes, with a 10-minute warning (and a push notification if you turn them on). Being caught outside hurts. You're safe if you:

• wear a Hazmat suit (craft it at level 4), or
• take Rad-Away (45 minutes of protection), or
• stand in a real shelter, or within 150 m of your own base or your society's.

Ride the storm out prepared and you earn +10 points and 20 XP. Airdrops fall every 2 hours into the five busiest areas: 15 points and a big crate of parts, ammo, meds and fuel for whoever gets there first.

🏚️ Bases

Claim a spot at least 80 m from petrol stations, shops and shelters and build your base. It stores resources, defends against raids and keeps you safe from storms. A new base has a 72 h shield; after a raid it gets 12 h. Upkeep is paid every 24 hours.

⚔️ Fights, raids and safe zones

Other players appear on the map only roughly (about 1 km), and bases are never shown exactly, so nobody can track you to your door.

🤝 Societies, wars and city crowns

Found a society for 💠 800 shards · 🔩 30 scrap (or an on-chain charter NFT for 10 LBTC), up to 30 members. Share a base, donate resources and defend together.

• Society wars: declare a week-long war for 200 shards (up to 2 at once). The society with more real points wins, and every member who scored gets 300 shards.
• City crowns: every city has a crown for the society with the most real points this week, worth 100 shards, and you get a notification if someone takes yours.

🔥 Streaks, missions, achievements and leagues

Daily streak: a real visit every day pays 15 shards, +6 more each day in a row, up to 80. Missing a day? A streak freeze costs 150 shards (you can hold 2). Daily points are capped at 300.

Daily missions (3 a day)

Achievements (real GPS visits only)

Weekly leagues

Score at least 50 points in a week to be ranked.

Titles

📅 Seasonal events

Dates are day-month in UTC. During an event, real visits to some kinds of place count extra.

🛹 Vehicles and the Trader

Human-powered rides make the joystick faster in Explorer mode and raise the "too fast" limit in GPS mode. You still have to stop (under 8 km/h) to search, fight or trade.

The Trader

A fixed-price shop at petrol stations, shops, pharmacies and hardware stores. It only sells, so every shard spent leaves the game.

The player market charges a 5% fee, all of it burned.

🛒 The LBTC Store

Exactly like LBTC Farm: send any amount of LBTC from the wallet you're logged in with to the store address shown in the game. The server reads the chain and gives you Store credit after one block. Everything is fixed and shown before you buy: no random boxes.

Every LBTC paid in the game is split: 70% to the players' reward pool, 20% to the treasury and 10% burned. Rewards are paid only from real income, never printed: nobody gets more than 3% of a day's pool, and payouts wait 7 days so cheats can be caught.

💠 Shards, staking and the LBTC chain

• One balance: with your wallet linked, Survivors shards are the same shards as on latebitcoiners.com, LBTC Farm and the Arcade. 1 Survivors shard = 100 website shards, so an hour of play is worth about the same in every game.
• Play-time allowance: you can bring up to 400 Survivors shards an hour of real play onto the chain, banked for up to 12 hours. Anything above waits as syncing.
• Staking: stake shards on the Arcade staking page to earn LBTC from the Reserve, together with every other staker.
• Referrals: invite a friend: when they've made 5 real visits on 2 different days, you get 200 shards and they get 100 (shards only, never LBTC; up to 20 friends).

💎 Relics and limited NFTs

Relics are the rarest finds in every LBTC game, with one supply counted across all of them and one relic per wallet per day at most.

Limited gear (Ancient and up) is numbered by the LBTC Farm server and minted with the game's authority wallet: #1, #2… up to the supply. Shelter stamps and Proof of Visit photos can be minted on request (1 and 0.5 LBTC).

🧭 Safety and fair play

• Watch the road, not your phone. Stop before you search, fight or trade.
• Only visit places that are open to the public, and respect private property and opening hours.
• Other players are shown only roughly, never exactly. Don't share your base location with strangers.
• Faking your GPS lowers your trust score and blocks rewards; one paid account per device.
