Field notes
Bootlands links GPS movement to a persistent resource-and-fortress system rather than treating walking as a simple step counter. The page describes five resource types, 100 fortress levels, map deposits whose value increases over time, and a 23-hour horde cycle. It also includes onboarding for a character name and body weight, with weight used to estimate calories.
