NOTICE
CRITICAL BUG:
As of update 0.2, there appears to be multiple instances of bugs that will trigger a stash wipe outside of its intended conditions.
This may or may not be connected to the water bots added in 0.2 and their raid trigger.
In any case, players are strongly recommended to back up their save file, located in
"user"(your PC username) > AppData > Local > ForeverWinter
by creating a copy in a separate folder.
Description
Deep below the ground lie the Innards, where civilians and scavs can live in relative safety from the war raging above. The Innards act as a hub for the player scav and their squad, where they can develop and expand new stations to help survive. Welfare upgrades can also be made to give a small level of comfort to residents.
Points of interest
Water Tank 
Allows the management of the Innards water resources.
Holds 55 days worth of water by default, can hold up to 99 days with upgrades.
Water obtained by any means will automatically fill the tank. Excess will be converted into 1,250 XP for the current character or, if at max XP, into 25,000 credits.
Without water, the base will start decaying. Long decay (reaching 0 water) is known as Water Death, which will trigger a Water Thief raid. Failing to defend the Innards will reset all progress in Innards upgrades and wipe your stash.
Donation Box 
See Donation Box for more information.
Help other scavs by donating gear and resources. Allows for trading weapons between scavs in the same lobby. Currently only base weapons can be traded; no attachments or other items can be placed in the box, though they can be shared in-raid.
Spawns a free random weapon once a day. If not claimed, weapons from past days will disappear.
Secret Storage Vault
The secret storage vault is available to the player from the start of the game.
It serves to hide credits and items from Water Thieves that might succeed in raiding the players' Innards.
It can hold up to 10,000,000 cr and a maximum of 10 items total.

Water Delivery Bots 
Water delivery bots are repurposed G-Head units that passively generate water for the player by venturing into the wasteland and collecting water. However, Water Thieves are able to track them back to the Innards, allowing for raids to occur outside of Water Death.
- Once bought, water bots can not be disabled.
- According to developer commentary, raids are intended to be "incredibly rare"[1]
- These raids work similar to the ones triggered by Water Death, and they do not occur while the player is offline but will trigger whenever the player logs back into the game.
- As Water Thieves are said to be tracking the bots, it is possible their raids will coincide with the bots' return every two days.
- Upon logging into the game, a message will display the total amount of water gathered since the last log in.
- The delivered water will be directly deposited into your water tank.
- Surplus water may not be stored in the stash.

Conclusion
- Innards Upgrades are some of the most expensive purchases in-game. You need a total of 87,935,000.0 credits to purchase all possible upgrades.
- Most Welfare upgrades offer little to no utility.
- New Scavs that are focused on surviving are advised to forgo purchasing any upgrades for their Innards and save their money for a better Rig instead.
- After unlocking a decent Rig and hitting the water tanks base capacity, scavs may want to start saving money for water tank upgrades as they are needed in order to buy water delivery bots.
- Water delivery bots are extremely useful in that they practically remove the obligation to scavenge water and refill the water tank entirely; however, as the game states, using them carries the risk of spawning random Water Thief raids outside of their normal spawning condition.
As Water Thieves are tough enemies and losing a raid will be heavily punished (Water Death), players are advised to upgrade their defensive turrets alongside them.
