Introductions:
- Tim and Jens introduces Stranded: Alien Dawn and what we're about to show you
- The survivors are the heart and soul of Stranded: Alien Dawn - and your journey with them begins in the Survivor Panel. This is where you pick and choose which four you'll be managing in your playthrough
- Your survivors are thrust into an unknown situation by the sudden crash-landing of their spaceship. The world around them is ready to be explored, and is lush with various resources as well as alien flora and fauna. It's a beautiful world and your survivors will crash-land in a new location, every time you start up a new game.
- After your survivors have scavenged for resources they can set up a primitive base consisting of shelters, sleeping spots, a campfire, and a cooking pot. It's also a good idea to set up fences, just in case your camp is overrun by hostile wildlife. In addition to this, you will need to start worrying about your survivors wants and needs, both physically and mentally, as well as their skills and traits
- You'll be able to set schedules and priorities for your survivors, which will let them choose which tasks to perform and when
- Your choice of survivors will impact how you play the game and the decisions you make. A group with low combat skill will need lots of automated defenses, whereas a group with a high combat skill should be able to take good care of themselves if there's an attack. There are lots of survivors to choose from, all with unique skills, traits, and backstories
- Your survivors will sometimes need to deal with aggressive wildlife attacking their settlement. It's a good idea to build automated defenses to help in case you get overwhelmed. Turrets can offer up some additional firepower, while traps will hold attacking beasts in place so you have a little more time to take them out. However, some of these automated defenses will need electricity to function
- Electricity can be generated by wind turbines, solar panels, or diesel generators, and can help run a myriad of things in your base. Anything from freezers and A/C Units to turrets and replicators need electricity in order to function properly
- As you progress down the research tree you'll gain access to new building materials for building your base, as well as new ways to craft weapons and clothing, cook food, or build amenities or recreational items for your base
- Building separate rooms for your survivors will help them sleep better, and providing them with heat sources will keep them comfortable during the cold nights and even colder winters
- Observing nearby plant life will allow you to plant them as crops outside your base, giving you a steady supply of resources and foodstuffs. The season, weather, and temperature will affect how well your crops grow, so make sure to store some of it for winter
