What counts as "shelter" in an emission

[Madjar]

Was in the swamp, only cover for well over 1km was a shack, a multi room shack with 0 holes in the roof
I was hiding from a chimera the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ quest I was on spawns within 30m of the player inside said shack when it started, I was in this building, things were running for cover of the building
emission goes off, I die.
I have sheltered in buildings with half of it missing, what gives?

Do not go running into nearest structure based on what you assume to be a solid building.
Whenever emission starts, the game marks nearest structure IT considers safe as your main quest and puts a marker on it.

Wonderful, that just happens to be the warp shack that is blocked by the chimera faster than me, looks like I need to realod to before the swamps

This part is scripted, you have to run to the indicated point of the mission to escape the chimera and emission

You're at the climax of the 2nd Act, both the chimera and emission are scripted.. As long as you are not encumbered you can make it if you run.

wondered why there was so much loot, only time the devs place something other than sausage and vodka and it's a trap, of course it is

“Finding it, though, that's not the hard part. It's letting go.”

Just drop your best gear so you are not encumbered and run to the point marked on map OR just start a new game from scratch and re-evaluate your life choices.

or he could just reload an earlier save like anyone would in an unwinnable situation.

I ended up dropping most of my ♥♥♥♥, grabbed it all on the way back, was missing like 20% durability

Y'all wanna have a laugh?

The ♥♥♥♥♥♥' UNDERGROUND MINE TUNNELS in the Red Forest do NOT count as a safe shelter. 💀

Instead, the closest "safe" shelter is the semi-open room at ground level behind the elevator at piledriver's place (that hasn't even got a door), where you have to squeeze in together with half a dozen NPCs.
