Where it is

One zone at most in each 720 x 720 stud region, in 85% of them, with a radius of 170 to 230 studs (its edge wanders by 40). The ground blends in over the 58 studs round its edge.

Sites with no structure can hold its own blockers instead:

Outcrop100%

The same everywhere

The timeline's bosses, the swarms, the rings, the Card Keeper and the Reaper do not change with the zone. See the bosses and the timeline.
