Lighthouse Guide

DIVE or DIE Lighthouse recruitment, Expeditions, Navigation perks, and camp upkeep monitoring.

Recruitment and Expeditions

The Lighthouse functions as your settlement's tavern. Each day, at least one recruit arrives for inspection. Review stats, traits, maintenance costs, and negative conditions before hiring. The Camp Status box here shows total Nutrition and Morale upkeep.

Upgraded Lighthouse tiers unlock Expeditions — send survivors on surface missions to gather resources or recruit higher-tier candidates. Expeditions carry risk: survivors may return injured or not at all.

Key Perks for Lighthouse Staff

Navigation increases Expedition success rates. At max level, survivors return to the Lighthouse with low health instead of dying on failed Expeditions. Blessed Host causes new recruits to arrive without negative traits — invaluable for maintaining roster quality.

Bookkeeping (often assigned at Town Hall) pairs well with Lighthouse management for upkeep visibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many recruits appear daily?
At least one recruit arrives each day at the Lighthouse. Upgrades may improve recruit quality.
Are Expeditions worth the risk?
Yes, when you have spare survivors and need specific resources or high-tier recruits. Never send your only diver.
