Explanation Point!

A post-apocalyptic periodical in limited print, the Explanation Point generally has a bland cover decorated by a bold-faced exclamation point. Inside are pieces of advice to the astute survivor for places to seek out or avoid. This includes natural disaster areas, contaminated water supplies, and activities by violent organizations such as the Chestonites.

These volumes in-game are treated as consumables; that is after reading they deteriorate into uselessness. They can confer various bonuses such as temporary experience gain boosts, loot-finding, or crafting speed.
