Ten tips for Stranded: Alien Dawn

The planetary survival simulation Stranded: Alien Dawn has been available since the beginning of the year for PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. In the game, the entire fate of the stranded crew rests in the hands of the players

To ensure the characters' survival, players must build and develop a unique base, brave brutal weather conditions, overcome mysterious illnesses, and battle hostile alien wildlife.

This makes survival easier for yourself

To make survival a little easier, Frontier has put together ten lesser-known tips that will help even the most experienced players stay alive longer.

Use natural defense mechanisms
When choosing where to build their base, players should consider the landscape that will provide them with protection or additional visibility. For example, a rocky outcrop could provide a barrier against attacks, while a lake could provide an additional barrier to foreign wildlife.

Early start of medical research
Antibiotics could be one of the most important discoveries for survivors. Because the drug can save lives and promote recovery in an emergency. This is precisely why it is crucial to develop the drug as early as possible in order to prevent the loss of life. This is a central key to success, especially in critical phases.

A sturdy fortress
Wooden fortifications are more durable than the weaker fences. Early research into the construction makes it possible to protect the base even better.

heavy metal
Since scrap is a valuable resource later in the game, players should use as little of the raw material as possible at the beginning of the scenario and primarily build shelters out of sticks.

Pay attention to the diet
Players should keep a close eye on the survivors and make sure they don't ingest poisonous things like glitter caps or raw meat.

Syrup in stock
Syrup is a resource with excellent nutritional properties. Therefore, it is well worth hoarding to sustain the group in times of scarcity. Even if the survivors have to travel a long distance to get the syrup, the effort can be well worth it. 

Save some clothes for the winter
It should be ensured that survivors keep all jackets and hats safe in warmer weather to protect them from wear and tear. By winter at the latest, the survivors will thank the players as they will benefit from additional layers.

A well-oiled machine
Using the Craft Until feature to keep important activities such as tailoring, oiling, and metal alloying going. Several crafting and research benches help speed up these processes as well.

Cooling
Air conditioners can replace refrigerators and freezers to create cool spaces to store extra food so it lasts longer.

Optimal storage
Closets are ideal for storing clothing and weapons. Open storage, on the other hand, is beneficial for all other items so that they can be accessed easily and efficiently.
