Players can embark on an epic journey since Wednesday. Stranded: Alien Dawn is an exciting new planetary survival sim that requires a variety of skills.
Stranded: Alien Dawn is available now in Early Access on PC via Steam for $29,99. The fate of the stranded crew is entirely in the hands of the players as they build and evolve a unique base. You must face brutal weather conditions, overcome mysterious diseases and fight against enemy aliens. 15 tips help you get started in the survival game.
Choose the right survivors
At the beginning of the adventure, players are asked to choose a group of survivors. It is important to make this decision as carefully as possible to cover all areas and ensure there are not large skill gaps. Each character has their own strengths and weaknesses.
Start research early
Research is the be-all and end-all Stranded: Alien Dawn. It's always worth assigning one of the survivors to research so that as many useful technologies as possible can be discovered. Research takes a while - so this time should be planned, e.g. if future base expansions are pending.
Level up the characters
Out here, the only thing the survivors can count on is themselves. That's why it's important to develop their skills and use their particular strengths. For example, a survivor with high intelligence is a great researcher, so make research your primary quest to maximize results.
Plan for the winter
Winter will test even the toughest of survivors. Clothing, heating and food are essential to getting through the winter unscathed, so make sure the group stocks up as much as possible beforehand. No one can seriously want the survivors chasing through the snow in just their underwear!
How are the survivors doing?
Happy survivors are productive survivors. It is worth checking regularly how they are doing and looking for solutions to their problems.
Good food is always worth it
Nothing lifts the mood quite like good food. The survivors should be able to enjoy more elaborate meals, at least occasionally. This will not only please their taste buds, but also increase their happiness. Also, no one can work on an empty stomach.
Manage the schedules
Optimizing and managing the survivors' time is a must. Those who manage their survivors' schedules and set daily goals in advance also have more time to provide them with adequate sleep and relaxation. This ensures their general well-being.
Disable “Simple Priorities”.
Those who have more experience dealing with the survivors can further optimize their schedules. For this purpose, the "simple priorities" option can be deactivated. This gives players even more control over what their survivors do and allows them to streamline the workflow as much as possible.
mark plants
Plants are an underestimated resource in Stranded: Alien Dawn. Not only can the survivors eat them to gain health, but they can also be used to craft important items. It's worth looking around and marking plants on the map early in the game. They could prove very useful.
create storage space
Stockpiling is key for the group to thrive. Unpreserved food stored outdoors will rot and cause survivors to become unwell. This should be avoided, for example by experimenting with housing placement to create larger enclosed spaces - more storage space means the group isn't forced to throw anything away.
Start farming early (but not too early)
Planting too early or too late should be avoided to minimize storage needs and reduce the time crops need to be stored.
Where you plant is important
You should do your research to find the best plot for your plants. Certain soil types are better suited to certain crops that will produce a higher yield in a shorter period of time. Having the plants planted where they will thrive best will ensure successful growth.
defend the court
A farm is worth nothing if it is not protected. Players should remember to surround their fields with fences. This prevents unwanted intrusion of the local fauna. One should also consider planting multiple crops in a single, well-protected field rather than multiple unprotected fields.
Deal with active threats
The survivors not only have to adapt to weather fluctuations and dwindling resources. Also to be reckoned with is adversity in the form of deadly alien wildlife. Here, players should play it safe by building defenses around their base, or go on the offensive and hunt them down.
Embark on an expedition
As the game progresses, more resources can be acquired by sending survivors on expeditions to distant locations. It's a gamble, though. The survivor may find valuable resources, return empty-handed, or even injure themselves on their journey.
