Overview
As the first region explored by new players, Outskirts features a tutorial area and offers many low risk opportunities to learn basic game mechanics and interact with creatures. It features many poles and pipes that allow easier evasion of predators, it's a relatively small, interconnected region, making it harder to get lost or cornered. It is devoid of the game's tougher predators, prominently featuring and  Lizards, s and a single  on the far left side.

Visually, Outskirts consists primarily of linear plots of metallic surfaces, extrusions of rebar and metal, paired with various ambiguously designed structures. A grey fog lingers in the background, paired with various strands of chartreuse and green overgrowth. Deeper in the Outskirts are various tunnel-like networks, sparsely illuminated by magenta lighting, paired with more enclosed piping. The exterior rooms tend to feature arches, fences and seemingly decorative blocks attached on top of poles. Growing in these rooms Growers and Seed Pods are commonly present, as well as Sprawl Bushes and dead Feather Ferns mostly on the western parts of the region. The interior rooms tend to feature lots of exposed pipes, Dyson fans and random machinery, with occasional s and Seed Pods present.
