Well I am officially playing again. First survivor back made it to a nearby campsite, got tings organized and got a cart together, then got ambushed by a mouse and beat it off with his 12 dex (random draw) and a Nord.
Continuing on with 2 bars HP for chest and head, he continued to try to make his way to the double mansions nearby, but was re-ambushed by the same mouse that now had only one bar of HP, and despite the bush advantage died of a final blow to the head.
Guess he won’t be able to live in the campsite, or the double mansions on triffids that must be from a spawn probably just past the edge of the starting mapped area, and the single tile river with a single tile river bank with ~4 tiles of swampland
Green Harbor is definitely a world I’ll have to explore further with other characters.
