GATEWAY

The active in-game map and the unofficial lore name. It is also described as the “gateway” to Tartarus, which makes the surface island feel like an entrance layer rather than the entire project.

TARTARUS

A theorized massive holding and/or creation facility for Strains, Gen-related horrors, and other AE creations. Also used as a punishment destination for employees who access restricted secrets.

AR7

ARCHIVE 7

A presumed digital archival unit or storage drive containing footage, recovery material, evaluations, and annotated files. Multiple file recoveries refer back to Archive 7.

RSV

THE RESERVE

An undefined hunting lodge island where people can hunt in a natural environment, with a fence line protecting the commercial zone.

GATEWAY SURFACE FACILITIESFIELD GUIDE

G.U.T.S.

Generic Underground Transportation System: a large underground network for moving things with less dinosaur contact. The metro is not part of G.U.T.S.; topside open space ends the system.

Perimeter / Atrium

The huge dome or hexadome on Gateway. Its in-lore name may change. It contains concept entrances and pipes running toward or beneath the swamp.

DTA

Dinosaur Transportation Area or Dockyard Transportation Area. These buildings temporarily hold animals being moved to or from an island.

Water Access Facility

An unknown cliff-side facility at F11 with a broken giant gated pool, buoys outside, and a DTA built inside.

South Plains Tri-Enclosure

A semi-aquatic containment area with three walled enclosures, sand, grass, metal drains, two DTAs, and a small dock/harbor.

LAB IX

A large four-story lab complex described as a lab hub and necropsy area, with covered bodies, possible armory, and testing-room themes.

GRID COORDINATE WATCHRANGER / AE MARKERS

K15I12H4 / GW_H4H6 / H5D10D14A15?F5 / GW_F5?GW_G12GW_Q10F11SPIRO_0205

AE coordinate formatting often uses two-part site labels such as GW_H4 instead of just H4. This makes the island feel like a numbered industrial grid rather than a natural wilderness.

UNDERGROUND / WORLD SCALEBEYOND THE MAP

G.U.T.S. HUB

INDUSTRIAL SECTOR HUB

A large underground layout with loading areas, administration offices, security overlook, rolling shutters, and many possible connections. One is noted beneath the volcano entrance.

THE TANKS

BEN STORAGE

An unknown lab or facility where Ben, a blue spotted dilophosaurus with no tail, is stored in a vat or tank.

THE SEAWORLD

CLIMATE PROJECT

A worldbuilding fragment where megaflora introduced to the oceans to slow or reverse climate change led to a containment leak and massive crustaceans.

ENGINE NOTE

G.U.T.S. has been delayed due to engine issues and may not appear in-game. Its exact in-lore status is therefore uncertain.

SITE FEEL

Gateway works best as a layered map: surface wilderness, industrial ruins, underground systems, and a possible deeper Tartarus route.
