How quests work in Permafrost

Quests arrive through conversations, radio messages and recordings you find in the world. Most objectives are plain survival tasks — craft a tool, build a station, hunt an animal, reach a place — so the quest log doubles as a tutorial for the crafting and building systems.

Rewards come in two forms: items handed over by the quest giver, and blueprints that unlock new recipes or building parts in the Blueprints tree. Optional objectives are marked as such and never block the chain.

The quest list below is extracted from the Early Access preview build. Objective text, rewards and ordering are the game's own; chains are inferred from how the quests are grouped in the game files and may be renamed at launch.

Permafrost ships 90 quests in its Early Access preview build: 37 main-story quests and 53 side quests spread across 9 chains. The story opens with “A New Beginning” (Find the nearest shelter.) and currently ends with “New Message”. The longest chain is Village with 23 quests; 26 quests hand out items or blueprints and 9 named characters give or advance quests. Together the quests hold 458 objectives, every one listed with its target item, structure, animal, character or location on the quest's page.
