Despite the harsh living conditions, habitable pockets exist and are fiercely contested by gangs for their valuable remnants of machinery and minerals. Many areas remain unexplored due to blocked and flooded tunnels.{{Fn|1b}}
Underhive communities are usually small, consisting of simple holes and dens, although larger settlements like [[Dust Falls]] and [[Dead End Pass]] exist. These are protected by stockades made from debris, with shelters and buildings repurposed from ruins. Survival involves cultivating edible fungi and [[algae ]] or raising native animals such as rats and mutant dogs.{{Fn|1c}}
Larger settlements have their own order with trading places, small workshops for equipment repair, and services for travelers. Goods and services can be bought or bartered, with information being the most valuable commodity, especially news of ore strikes and tunnel openings that could lead to wealth.{{Fn|1c}}
