A Dark Room Wiki

The Outside/The Village is where the player spends most of the time delegating the tasks between villagers, gathering wood, or checking any traps for extra resources.

Note: It is possible to utilize the Refresh exploit (manually pressing the Refresh button on the browser) to reset the cooldown timers on the "Gather Wood" and "Check Traps" buttons.

Growth and Population

Outside The Room waits a silent forest. As the player begins to build and expand, the forest will eventually become a teeming village, and the villagers will become vital assets to the player's continued growth and expansion.
