Contingency Planning

Players can invest skill experience in a feature known as Contingency Planning.

This serves as an automation of sorts, and adapts to a more macro-style game experience. While it cannot provide the specific and exquisite on-the-fly decision making benefits of the human mind, it can control your character while you are idle or logged off from the persistent world.

Examples include:

Returning to the smelter with scrap metal to forge into ingots.

Eating available food to stave away hunger.

Rudimentary combat choices.

Going to a specific location and setting up your store.

Traveling to the nearest Safe Area after logging out.
