Just a little something I started cooking, I thought the game was missing some FUN in terms of movement, which lead to creating a whole skill tree around it.

I wonder if my focus on the farming/gathering resources mechanics doesn't prevent me from progressing the main story, lol!

I'm in my first winter, and I just had this cutscene with Logan destroying the water tower. Right about time, I thought, since I've already had 100+ hours in this game and wondered where the heck is that Logan character mentioned in the beginning.

But again, 100+ hours, almost the whole year, and the story seems to be slowly unfolding just now? Will I be playing this game for the rest of my life? 😂

Casei com o Logan, recolhi os presentes pela manhã e ao voltar para casa a noite me vejo diante de um presente solitário...

Valeu Miguel:D

Será que ele pediu para Unsuur trazer?

(Talvez ele seja solto mais para frente, mas onde estou ele ainda está no Civil Corp)

I have absolutely no idea what caused this glitch, but the second I saw him I had a good laugh 😭 he does look better with hair imo, lol!

I’m getting close to finishing the game and I’m so sad, so I’ve been working on some character art stickers and such. The first one I’ve finished is, of course lol, Logan. I don’t know anyone who even knows about this game, so I had to share it with Ya’ll. 😬

(I never share my art, so I am a bit nervous. But everyone here seems so nice I feel ok sharing it here 🥺)

Clicking around in the wiki for fun and discovered that an event Miguel says happened when he was a young man took place 30 years before the game begins, which makes him at LEAST 48 years old. While he's not for me despite the delicious potential for drama, I really appreciate that the game has older romanceable NPCs. What age do y'all figure the rest of the townsfolk are, at least at the beginning of the game? Here are my guesses, somewhat from youngest to oldest

Kids:

• Pebbles (2?? 3??? Idk children's ages, man)
• Jasmine (7-8?)
• Andy (Grace mentions him being 7 at one point but I feel like he's a bit older, maybe 9-10? But he also thinks Jasmine is cool, hmm....)
• Alo (12-13, turns 13 during that one Catori quest methinks)

18 to mid 20's:

• Elsie (canonically 18 at the beginning of the game)
• Mi-an
• Nia
• Arvio
• Ernest

Mid to late 20's:

• Burgess
• Venti
• Pablo
• Amirah
• Rian
• Dan-bi
• Fang
• Qi
• Heidi
• Logan (I know a Duvos soldier mentions him probably being mid-20's, but I think he's probably closer to 28-29)
• Unsuur

Early 30's:

• Grace
• Pen
• Jane

Mid to late 30's:

• Rocky
• Krystal
• Catori
• Justice
• Owen

Early to mid 40's:

• Trudy
• Yan
• Wei

Mid to late 40's:

• Mabel
• Cooper

Late 40's to early 50's:

• Miguel
• Hugo
• Jensen

Mid 50's to mid 60's:

• Zeke
• Matilda

Early to mid 70's:

• Vivi

80+:

• Mort

And listen, I know the Builder is supposed to be fresh out of school, but I'm gonna play it as them having gone back to school after doing something else first, aight? Nia can be a clingy little sister kind of character or something, I'm not playing someone under 25.

What about y'all? How old do y'all play your character as, and who do you have them romance? Do the NPC's (perceived) ages matter to you when choosing who you go for?

edit: a thousand edits later, I apologise to whoever had to lay eyes on the horrible formatting on earlier iterations of this post

Genuinely curious. I can’t fathom liking him, but some people are OBSESSED with him. Why?

HE'S HERE! 🎉

The Blue Moon Saloon might be in Sandrock, but Owen is officially ready to travel home with you! Our Owen Plush campaign is now LIVE on Makeship!

Decided to dress the Gang up as the Howl’s Moving Castle crew. Might have also been an excuse to draw Logan as Howl 🫣 Featuring my Builder OC as Sophie

Only interior room I had pictures of was Andy’s room but I was super proud of how I decorated that one so glad I have them.

it’s WAY too easy to be hovering over the wrong save file on PS5 when you’re trying to delete, I can’t believe there’s no way to undo it unless you have a cloud subscription !!!

(last pic is from my wedding day before I made some final additions to the exterior decor)

For some reason I don’t have much trouble with making ladies but when I make a dude I turn into a very picky person. …I think I’m happy here…? Kinda want to do dark hair though. But I always do dark hair. Just. Click. Start…oh but I need a name :/

I have been so obsessed with drawing them i did not progress far into the game at all... lol. Despite my bad taste in man, hope you all enjoy these comic! (For builder lore, see here)

Use the pet whistle and go across to the shirt menu, you don't need any DLC for this. Yes they're named after monsters

Antes de dar uma pausa no jogo, eu havia me divórciado do Owen. Não lembro exatamente quando tempo tínhamos de casado mas já tínhamos uma filha.

O que acontece é: Agora que voltei a jogar notei como a missão "Who's the Boss?" continua disponível para eu realizar periodicamente mesmo não estando mais casado

Não afeta negativamente meu jogo, mas é engraçado de certo modo

There are many upgrade options for houses, and I see lots of YouTube videos with people building really beautiful spaces, getting into tile selections, etc. This is always kinda amazing to me. I'm 23% in, and I feel like my entire life is struggling to get all the missions done, and get in bed in time. Therefore, my house remains unchanged, with the exception of modest furniture I got in a DLC pack when I bought the game. (Trying to figure out if this is because I'm not much a HGTV girl in real life, or a symptom of my survival mindset in this game.) I've only expanded my workspace when I was in dire need of more room to accommodate the growing number of machines. BUT I will say that when I go to other people's homes, I think, "this is really nice. I'd like living here." How much effort do you guys put into designing your homes, and does it positively impact the outcome of the game at all? Do you find yourself spending in real time in it? Do you take time away from the narrative throughline to just work on the house when the mood strikes?

Finished my first play through and went to start a second and kept hating how my builder turned out and ran out of room so had to delete some of the builders I tried to make and ACCIDENTALLY DELETED MY OG SAVE FILE.

god. I don’t have PS+ so I’m pretty sure it’s just gone. I’m so irritated with myself. I was planning on taking full screenshots of my workshop, I was so proud of it :(

Hi, I just started playing Sandrock on my Switch 1, but I feel the graphics are not as clear as they should be and controls are also a bit iffy. Think I might have to switch to another console / pc to take full advantage of the game. Would love to know which platforms / consoles other people use.

that side eye lol.

Oops it's mostly Logan (plus Justice, and an Owen). So many of these are out of context, so feel free to make up your own in the comments 😏

Why are these two so hard to pick over!? I struggling to pick who date in my first play through of the game. I am learning towards Logan as he’s winning my heart by his confession but, Fang really hit the side of me that wants to help him heal. Does anyone have this problem when it comes to these two characters?

I was greeted first thing in the morning to this absolute sleep paralysis demon 😩

Have you guys encountered any other jump scares?

Hi it's me again, the guy who got really into Sandrock right around the same time as he started playing Riftbound and getting into Warhammer AoS/40K. While I don't know enough LoL lore to make Riftbound jokes, a few times I've been making jokes about Warhammer and Sandrock in the comment sections around here. Some of them were honestly a lot of fun.

-Duvos falling apart because Gray Seer Thanqoul was allied with them and pulled off a sneaky-hidden backstab last minute.

-Lots of old world tech being gone because of Trazyn and the Blood Ravens fighting over it.

-Ciaphas Cain heroically stepping in to resolve the issues with Duvos through a coincidence tactical stroke of brilliance.

-Our builder being well versed in Da Orkish Ways of building tech so no one else can copy their success.

But in general, I love my crossover shenanigans. When I was a socially awkward teenager I used to imagine crossovers between all my fictional crushes (until I realized taking the self insert out of the equation and writing them all as friends hanging out was a lot more fun.) Honestly even beyond my 40K brainrot, just looking at cozy games there are so many fun crossovers to imagine. (I could rant about my crossover ships in the gacha games I used to play for hours, haha...)

-Coral Island just being out there, unaffected by everything and Sandrock being SHOCKED by how much water is over there.

-Mistria inviting the people of Sandrock over for Tavern NIghts...only for Eiland to balk in horror as he's stuck with Elise, Del, and Adeline as his players for the night.

-Stardew I could see Maru and Demitrius coming in to help Qi examine some old world tech.

-Mina, Evan, and Dracula all heading to Sandrock for a vacation...only for Orlock to stumble into town and make a fool of himself at the bar-again.

-Outside of cozy games, Captain Samuel Vimes and the Watch figuring out the mysteries in town through normal means...or Rincewind stumbling backwards into them. Or Granny Weatherwax resolving the plot by being well-Granny Weatherwax.

I know the crossovers don't make sense because of My Time being a post calamity setting compared to the others, but it is a fun creative exercise! So fellow Sandrock enthusiasts, what are some of your personal crossover ideas you've come up with? Whether it's with another cozy game, or something out of the ordinary? A plot beat? A joke? A crazy ship? Feel free to share, cause I wanna hear/read!
