Survive The Night House & Door Guides

Claim a house, plan around its entrance and distinguish repairs from progression upgrades. These Survive The Night house and door guides help you identify whether the next problem is setup, ongoing damage or a tier requirement blocking another structure.

Identify the entrance problemSeparate claiming, active repairs and tier gates.

House setup and door survival

A claimed house becomes useful when its doorway has damage coverage and its income can fund development. The house guide explains the base layout; the claiming guide takes you from an available house to the first working structures. Neither requires choosing a supposedly perfect map position before learning the opening.

The door guides divide three decisions that are easy to mix together. Repair responds to current damage. Medical Base restores Door HP when the entrance is within range. Door tier unlocks higher tower and economy upgrades. When pressure grows, address the active fight; when a planned upgrade is blocked, resolve the door requirement and return to the intended purchase.

House & Door questions

Should I repair or upgrade the door?

Repair addresses active damage. A door-tier upgrade opens higher structure upgrades. Keep attacking towers removing enemies while either decision is part of the plan.
