After Inc. has several campaigns that allow you to progress through the game's story. Each level requires the player to manage a settlement and complete goals to complete that level.

People are getting restless. They want to travel and build new Settlements elsewhere to ensure our future.
Each day, a new Expedition will be waiting to travel into the unknown!

― In-game description

Beyond the Bunkers (previously known as Problems of Success) are time-limited levels introduced in the 1.1.0 update.

Once the expansion is unlocked, a total of three levels (known as expeditions) are shown throughout the map, alongside three new bars near the bottom - production, society, and knowledge rewards.

Each expedition page shows the following content:

• The time remaining to complete the expedition
• Settler ambition (refers to how difficult the goals will be; the higher the number, the more difficult the goals)
• Danger (refers to how many Zombies and infested areas are present in the expedition)
• Modifiers (map changes specific to the expedition)
• The reward the player will get (shown as an increase in one of the bars)

Once an expedition is complete, the player can then choose a specific reward to improve their settlement.
