A Tent in the Wasteland

This is a nice quest to help new characters get started. Once you reach level 2, look for a new, small location on your map near one of the starting locations. Go there and find a farming family living in a tent due to their farm being overrun by critters. Get the quest to help them and you'll be able to see their farm on the map too. Go there, fight the critters, find some starting items, and report back to the family at their tent.

WARNING: Both quest locations will disappear after a week, don't try to settle there (in fact the same applies for all instanced quest locations, the time may vary).

Note: For now, you cannot bring a car into these quest locations. You can bring another player to family tent, but you cannot enter infested farm with another player.
