Evidence: Official Steam announcements & community reports · Update 0.8.0 / Hotfix 0.8.8
Quick answerScavland combines hardcore post-Soviet survival tension with structured transit. In Update 0.8.0, developer NoShadow officially introduced Dogface Rides, a dedicated in-game fast travel network. After completing the "On the Road" quest for NPC Dogface, scavengers can request transit ("I need a ride") between six designated stops across Zalesye: Arcadia, the Mire, Sontse Station, Microrayon, North Pier, and the Quarry Settlement. Rides departing from the Quarry Settlement are completely free while Dogface remains stationed there. Each transit trip generates a Ride Ticket displaying fare cost, travel duration, and projected Hunger/Thirst consumption while your bike traverses wasteland roadways in real time. Complementing transit, player safehouses provide death-immune stash storage (upgradable for 50,000 Rubles in the main village) and canvas beds for time skipping. For complete travel coordination, consult our [Zalesye Overworld Map](/maps/), [Sleep & World Reset Guide](/guide/scavland-sleep-and-world-reset-guide/), or [Beginner Survival Guide](/guide/scavland-beginner-guide/).

Field notes

  • 01 · Unlock Dogface Rides Fast Travel (Update 0.8.0): Speak with the new NPC Dogface and complete his introductory quest "On the Road". Once finished, interact with Dogface at any unlocked stop on your Journal Map and choose "I need a ride" to open the destination travel interface.
  • 02 · Navigate the 6 Verified Transit Stops: Dogface services six strategic wasteland stops: Arcadia, the Mire, Sontse Station, Microrayon, North Pier, and the Quarry Settlement. A location becomes a valid destination on your Journal Map once you discover it. Crucially, rides departing from the Quarry Settlement are free of charge while Dogface remains there.
  • 03 · Inspect Ride Tickets & Metabolism Forecasts: Before embarking, review your Ride Ticket. It displays the ruble fare, total travel time, and a forecast of your character's Hunger and Thirst depletion during the trip. Ensure you consume clean water and rations before traveling so you do not arrive dehydrated or starving.
  • 04 · Stash Expansions & Camp Lockers: In Update 0.7.0 and Hotfix 0.7.1, stashes and crafting tables were installed across all main camps. Main village stashes can be expanded by purchasing an additional tab from a Trader for 50,000 Rubles. Secondary camp stashes currently offer one standard tab and maintain separate inventory storage.
  • 05 · Canvas Beds & Safehouse Bug-Out Routes: Every safehouse bunker features a canvas bed for skipping 1 to 12 hours of night cycles. Safehouse lockers remain 100% death-immune. When undertaking deep bunker raids or facing severe weapon wear, plan fall-back routes to the nearest Dogface stop or safehouse outpost.

Questions players ask

How do you unlock fast travel in Scavland?

Fast travel is available via Dogface Rides introduced in Update 0.8.0. Complete the "On the Road" quest for NPC Dogface, then speak with him at any Dogface stop and select "I need a ride" to choose an unlocked destination on your Journal Map.

Which locations have Dogface Rides fast travel stops?

There are six official Dogface stops: Arcadia, the Mire, Sontse Station, Microrayon, North Pier, and the Quarry Settlement. A stop becomes an active travel destination once its marker is recorded on your Journal Map.

Are Dogface fast travel rides free?

Rides departing from the Quarry Settlement are free of charge while Dogface is located there. For trips originating from other stops, a fare is calculated on the Ride Ticket along with travel time and hunger/thirst projections.

What is shown on a Scavland Ride Ticket?

A Ride Ticket previews your transit destination, ruble cost, total travel duration, and expected hunger and thirst depletion, allowing you to top up hydration and nutrition before committing to the journey.

Do camp stashes share items with the main village?

No. Stashes installed at secondary camps maintain distinct inventories and do not link to your central village stash locker.
