Permafrost Horizon and the Mule: plan a resupply stop

Horizon is described as a place to rest between expeditions, trade for supplies and learn warmth management and crafting. Its isolated hilltop setting is story context, not enough to give you a route from the opening spawn. Follow the current quest information to find it.

The September 11 update describes a revised Horizon shelter and community area. September 29’s Mule post says he travels between settlements and stays briefly. Treat him as a travelling trader when planning supplies; neither post supplies a guaranteed location, stock list or timetable.

These are Kingy preparation steps. Avoid building a shopping list around an unconfirmed merchant inventory. If an item is unavailable, keep the shortage explicit and check the documented material leads in the building-tier guide.

1. Write down the next blueprint or expedition requirement.
2. Compare your missing supplies with the merchant inventory actually shown.
3. Check the offered exchange before completing a trade.
4. Update your saved plan with what remains missing.

No exact task sequence, merchant restock timer or guaranteed item has been verified. The useful first goal is reaching the settlement and understanding its services, rather than following invented coordinates or dialogue options.

The October 3 playtest patch reports a fix to the trader’s voice lines in Horizon. It does not announce changes to his stock, prices or trading schedule, or establish that the fix is present in a playable launch build.
