# Points of Interest & Metagame
## Spirit & Gameplay
Green County is a 10x10km map (100km²). It is predominantly rural/forested, containing mainly small villages, detached houses and farms. It also has one medium-sized town (Louisville) and a larger capital (Leaftown). To achieve a balanced gameplay, we have chosen to place only 4 medical buildings (as a result, medicines and treatments are in low/medium quantity depending the area), 3 police stations and 4 fire stations. Two military zones located close to player spawn points have been placed under permanent gas for balancing reasons. These two bases will play an important role in the future of the map.
The loot based on a vanilla Livonia and its 3 tiers (+ one Unique tier dedicated to Evacuation Points) has been completely redesigned (for weapons and related items) to make the gameplay more interesting. Dynamic event mechanics have been added to give the map gameplay more depth.
## Metagame
The Green County metagame is designed around:
- **The difficulty of finding medicine quickly and easily**
- **The potential danger of drinking untreated water (including from [water collectors](https://www.hellmaker2a.com/books/welcome-to-ohio/page/loot-metagame#bkmrk-water-collectors))**
- **The danger of eating infected [wolf/bear](https://www.hellmaker2a.com/books/welcome-to-ohio/page/loot-metagame#bkmrk-predators) meat**
- Loot scattered across the map, avoiding large hi-loot areas
- The use of [dynamic events](https://www.hellmaker2a.com/books/welcome-to-ohio/page/dynamic-events) to even out everyone's chances of obtaining quality loot
- NBC Suit can be found only on ambulance wrecks and checkpoints/helicrash

## Points of Interest
### Various
#### Road Signs
Some directional signs can be painted over, for two reasons:
- **The section of road leads to the edge of the map** and there are no notable villages/towns between the sign's location and the edge of the map, in which case a fictitious name and distance are added and spray-painted over to hide it.
- **The section leads to a village/locality that will be added in a future update**, in which case the name is hidden with spray paint but the distance remains visible.
Do not travel onto these sections of road without a compass and a map You might get lost there.

#### Predators
The biological events that forced the National Guard to lock down Green County under federal authority seem to have caused physiological changes in black bears and wolves...
The emergence of two new breeds, **Cerberus Verminus** for wolves and **Ursus Abominatus** for bears.

#### Heavies Soldiers
All armies have tough guys, and the National Guard is no exception. Its heavy soldiers are tough guys and will give you a hard time. They are recognisable by their ballistic helmets and their characteristic slowness.

#### Mails / Letters
Like relics from a not-so-distant but forgotten past, letters and correspondence are witness to life in Green County before Day Zero can help you understand the events that led to the county's lockdown.

#### Kolumbus vending machines
In this devastated and dangerous world, stopping and taking the time to sip a Kolumbus IPA can be a source of comfort. These old vending machines probably still have cans in stock...
[](https://www.hellmaker2a.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-02/0Mzr0ZBRlmfH0W5o-20260228133614-1.jpg)
It is only possible to interact with these machines once per restart. If the “Shake” action is not available, it means that the device has already been used.
### Dynamic Events
#### Abandonned trailers
Green County is full of forests and that tend to attract campers of all kinds. Often set up along roadsides, these trailers can be a source of food and supplies as you make your way through the forests.

A dead scientist? His protective suit show a logo with “**Bio-Lab Corp.**” label. Could it be the multinational pharmaceutical company that supplies medical equipment in the county?
**This is a sequel of the 1.2 lore "Green County Origins", the mechanics is useable but the interest is limited for now.**

#### Firefighter wrecked ambulance
Green County has four fire stations in Leaftown, County Airstrip and Willisburg. The National Guard also has its own fire station in Alpha Camp, but it's not accessible to civilians. Due to the chaos, it's possible to find ambulances firefighters wrecks along interstate roads.

#### FPV drones wrecks
Few agents of the National Guard stucked in the Green County quarantine zone, monitor the activities of potential survivors and all “others”… FPV Drones regularly fly over populated areas. Can you find a way to use this to your advantage?

#### Helicopters wrecks
Remnants of a partially failed evacuation carried out in a hurry, National Guard helicopters seem to have had incidents… Potentially a good source of material to defend yourself against nature and the inhabitants, who have become very hostile.

#### Medical wrecked ambulances
Green County has few medical services, with two dispensaries in Green Heights and Dillsboro, and two hospital in Leaftown and Bio-Lab Research Center. As a result of the pandemic and the evacuation, medical ambulances wrecks can be found on the villages and cities of the county, and will certainly be able to save your life.

#### National Guard checkpoints
The National Guard was obviously trying to control the flow of residents evacuating the county… They seem to have left in a hurry, forgetting weapons, ammunition, equipment…

#### Police car wrecks
Green County only has three police stations in Burgess, Louisville and Leaftown. During the evacuation, residents protested and rioted against the police. As a result, wrecked police vehicles can be found all over the county.

#### Police roadblocks
During the evacuation of Green County residents, the forces of law and order were pushed to the limit. These roadblocks bear witness to the failed attempt to coordinate an evacuation…

### Specific Mechanics
#### National Guard : Armory locker
A reinforced cabinet belonging to the National Guard, it appears to be equipped with a 6-letter combination digital lock. It appears to contain heavy weaponry.
The code is random and changes each time the server is restarted.

#### National Guard : Beacons
The National Guard have a network of 8 beacons in the county. They were useful for communication and had a feature for storing unheard messages.
| [](https://www.hellmaker2a.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-01/M0f3ObCMqjPIlCyz-beacon1.jpg) | [](https://www.hellmaker2a.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-01/EdOTbwHIckKmYlWM-beacon2.jpg) |
Only one beacon can be used, and its location changes each time the server is restarted.
#### National Guard : Evacuation points
Citizens were evacuated by the National Guard, which created five evacuation points near the northeastern, eastern and southeastern limits of the county. Medical tests were carried out at these points, but under what conditions?

#### National Guard : Supply pallets
The National Guard has placed supply pallets throughout the county. These pallets can literally save your life. They contain weapons and ammunition, food and drink, as well as basic medical items…
- **Green**: *Military supplies*
- **Brown**: *Food supplies*
- **White**: *Medical supplies*
*[](https://www.hellmaker2a.com/uploads/images/gallery/2026-01/wwRGEAaphqT5ZNnM-supply-pallets.jpg)*
#### National Guard : Watchtowers
The National Guard has a substantial network of watchtowers in the county. They were useful for keeping an eye on any fires, but it would appear that they were used by some personnel as a refuge during the troubles…

#### National Guard : Wreck M923 truck
With the National Guard deployed throughout the county, M923 truck wrecks can be found everywhere. These wrecks are interesting in more ways than one, as they may indicate the presence of a path leading to a watchtower, or the presence of pallets of National Guard supply pallets.

#### National Guard : Wreck M1 Abrams MBT
With the National Guard deployed throughout the county, M1 Abrams MBT from 101st ACR can be found everywhere. Maybe soldiers have leave and forget some stuff around?

#### Water collectors
The authorities have placed water collectors at the residents' disposal. This has allowed residents to drink even though there is no water left in the pipes… Like all water collectors, these have a stagnant water inside, which may seem harmless, but can hides a deadly danger…
Drink the water from water collectors can transmit Cholera dicease (**10% of chance**). This value can be changed by servers owners.
