Odyssey Facilities, Roles & Security Levels
Infrastructure Profile
Signal Summary
Settlements are functional layouts with alarms, restricted zones, power systems, data ports, guards, and mission objectives. Their economy and security level define how risky they feel on foot.

Key Concepts
Layout - Building placement shapes patrol routes, sight lines, access panels, and objective paths.
Security - Higher security increases consequences for scans, trespass, theft, and alarms.
Power state - Online, offline, damaged, or abandoned states change mission flow and hazard level.
Field Notes
A settlement is easiest to read as a set of zones: public, restricted, powered, watched, and objective-critical.
Settlement type can be as important as faction state when judging mission difficulty.
