Safe Zone

Appearance

Appearance:

A complete, intact fast food restaurant taken whole from some other country (signage that reads as Polish) and rebuilt underground: white and blue instead of the usual red and yellow, an elaborate slide-and-tunnel-and-ball-pit playground, self-serve soda machines stocked with Hoop Cola, water, milk, vodka, and a beer called Warka, and three information screens over where the menu would be. The large windows show only solid wall behind the glass.B1C9

Where

Floor 1's warrens; a suspected Scatterer nest is somewhere close byB1C9

Purpose

A rest stop for crawlers: free rental rooms, a Bopca Protector who cooks and cleans, and screens tracking the floor's collapse timer and the show's statusB1C9

Stats

20 available at zero gold: ten closet-sized rooms flanking each side of a back hallway. Personal, purchasable bases don't unlock dungeon-wide until floor 4B1C9

Shower stalls with soap and shampoo dispensers, plus disposable razors and shaving cream; no towels, so you drip dryB1C10

Once bought, it carries over floor to floor and safe room to safe room; per Tally, buy the accessories early, since some (a crafting table, for one) only get stronger if purchased before the level dropsB1C10
