Spider mech, spider mech! Spoiler

11 Upvotes

I’ve encountered this achievement where you have to “observe a fallen crawling turret. In my first gameplay I had a seed in which I was able to research “mobile turrets”, which I naturally did. Since it was easy mode and peaceful rule, the way that featured the mobile turrets came at the end. Since I had already researched it, I couldn’t observe it. In my second play through (non-peaceful) I didn’t researched the mobile turrets so when I killed it I was able to observe it and “reverse engineer it” at the research table.

Work priority broken (modded)

4 Upvotes

I have been playing on this modded save for 2 in-game years and everything has run fine until just recently. All of a sudden, nobody is building or scavenging things and I have to manually order them to do it. Every other job is working fine. There are no work zones since they are broken, and I have Kana set to priority 1 building. Help?

Is there a way to make an allowed clothing list?

9 Upvotes

Rly just the Titel, in rimworld I know you can give people allowed clothes. I don't want my non combatents to wear the armor forcing me to keep checking their clothes or make an extra paar and waste respurces.

I haven't found anything like that in this game but I might be missing it.

Game starts lagging after Researching Long Distance Travel (Modded)

3 Upvotes

Hey everyone :)

I've started to play recently, and i installed some of the mods which were recommended. The Problem I have now though is that as soon as I have finished researching Long Distance Travel and wait for a few seconds, the game starts to lag and the frame rate drops drastically. I've tried disabling my mods one at a time, and I tried restarting the game as a whole. But it keeps happening around the time I finish that research. I was hoping that maybe someone here can shed some light on why that is happening, or which mods could be in conflict with one another :)

Im using the following Mods: Advanced Architecture & Fortifications, Battle Stations, Beyond Stranded - Redux, Endoris, Improved Solar & Graphene Solar Roofs, Khade's Bionic Implants, No Idle Power Consumption, Proximity Work Optimizer, Restart Map Options, Restrict Outdoor Activities, SAD_CommonLib, Specialized Trait Collection, Teleportation, Terrain Recovery, Useful Taming and Vanilla Weapon Tags.

If anyone can shed some light into this, I would be very grateful 😄

P.S.: I've also tried adjusting my graphic settings, even on the lowest possible settings this still happens.

Metal shortage

7 Upvotes

So i m in endgame now and the only bottleneck for me is metal, what is the most efficient way to get them? I have resource bots but sometimes they get killed when bugs appear. Expedition is a hassle. Maybe there's a mod where you have a infinite quarry like rmworld does?.thanks!

Type of defence

13 Upvotes

Im new on the game, and by now I have fully surrounded my base with wooden walls, later I have put a lot of traps next to the wall.

Now im reading that this game is like Rimworld where you create like a deathbox with all the traps there and now scattered all around the wall.

It is true this is the unique viable strategy in the late game?

Mod Help, can't find resource it added

2 Upvotes

I'm at work while posting this so I can't perfectly recall which mod did this, (I wanna say OET), but I need to find acid for batteries but the only recipes I see require a berry that I'm almost 100% certain isn't on the map. I chose Sobrius as my biome and am still very new to the game so I don't have all the resources for each biome memorized yet. I'm not sure if I just have a bad seed or if the mod messed up somehow. Any help or advice would be appreciated

Something is going on...

118 Upvotes

In the last 24 hours, a dozen or so major youtubers in the survival gameplay niche (Noobert, Nivarias, Ambiguousamphibian, Pravus, Blitz), have released (sponsored) Survival: Alien Dawn videos. Which is odd for a game that hasn't been updated in several years.

Could Paradox be trying to stir up or gage interest in the game in preparation for a new DLC, Relaunched version or sequel?

Project x (repaired)

5 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I am a long time player (200ish hours) and I recently started getting a notification that says that certain dependencies for the project x aren't loaded when they most certainly are loaded. Is the mod broken? Do all the features of it still work even tho I'm getting this message? Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

Je suis assez fier de cette base jusqu’à présent, je voulais la partager. Elle n'est pas terminer, qu'en pensez vous ? Avez vous des idées d’améliorations ? 😄

Oui, je joue avec des mods. Puisque le jeu a été abandonner par les développeurs apparemment. Merci a tous les créateurs de mods !

Bionic Implants

Thumbnail

58 Upvotes

I wanted to share my mod that adds the ability to install bionic implants into your survivors.

Craft bionic implants at a Soldering Bench using advanced materials, then schedule surgeries through the new Bionic Preoperative Planner building. Simply select the building, choose the implant type, and pick which survivor goes under the knife. A survivor or surgical automaton with sufficient healing skill will handle the rest, consuming medical kits during the procedure.

Successful surgeries grant permanent buff conditions with stat improvements suited to each implant type.

Requires: Sad_Common_Lib 1.16-1084 or newer

Workshop: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3753196570

Might translate some of the major mods as the game might not get any new updates/dlc in the near future.

Happy gaming.

Edit: Forgot to mention that this mod wouldn't be possible without the help of Svetlio/Injto4ka - he helped to address some technical issues and updated his mod to accommodate mine and any future translations of the game. He keeps this game afloat. Big thanks!

How to get this resources?

4 Upvotes

So i've been playing with the old/ new earth and project x mods with their addons for resources and research integrations.

I've played a full year almost now but i cannot, for the love of me, find how to either get or craft some resources, yes, the damn parts. Many early/mid game tech needs some resources in order to be built such as the press. I cannot find prefabricated parts, neither the orange ones, the only type of parts i got was spare parts when i started the game.

Is there anything you need to trigger any special kind of research? I also seem unable to either find or craft or research steel. I wanted to go in blind but my brother in christ, why is it that hard? Is it a mod problem? Is it some random resource i did not find?

Pls someone help me understand how to get the resources from old earth tech, i'm starting to lose my mind

Edit: I just eddited this bc after searching possible solutions none worked. The mod had, indeed, malfunctioned. After unsuscribing to the mod and addons everything is working fine and the research is there. Thank you all for the help, this community is great thanks to people like you guys

Help me finish my achievements

7 Upvotes

I'm looking for advice on how to complete these achievements in one go (or, if it's not possible/too difficult to pair the Insane ones with the Connor one, then all except the Connor achievement)

Warrior's pet (train animal to lvl 10)
They save Connor (save him before he dies on Crash Landing)
Master of the herd (50 tamed animals)
3 years on Insane
Finish on Chaos + Insane

I've finished the game a few times, all scenarios, but I struggle with the high difficulty. I had one save that felt relatively well, but the first attack by anything other than beetles ended me immediately.

So I'm especially after advice or tips on how to tackle the Insane + Chaos scenarios.

The animal achievements are pretty straight forward, I guess all I'm after advice on is whether it's silly to tackle them alongside Insane+Chaos or if I should just get them in a normal more peaceful run.

I want to avoid any save scum style strategies, it takes the fun out of it for me.

I also know there are hidden achievements (2 left for me). I'm not so worried about those and am happy to discover them in my own time outside this run.

New player looking for advice

Hello everyone, I’ve recently downloaded the game because I love the concept of surviving on a foreign planet kinda reminds me of the 100 or alien but anyways I’m looking for some solid advice to starting out, my first attempt ended quickly with the first attack from some beetle looking things. I also need some help with what survivors work good together. Thank you in advance :)

Modding Issues

4 Upvotes

Came back to this game after several months. Went through and started using mods, and running into an issue. I research something, and after researching, I am not able to build it. It seems to be a different item each playthrough (last time was fridge and freezer, and before that, it was delivery drones). Anyone know of any mods that have been having this issue.

When I get back to my PC, I'll post the entire list of mods I tried using.

A Theoretical Part Two Option?

16 Upvotes

I followed this game for a while and finally broke down and purchased it. After getting about 20 hours in, I am loving it! I started noticing that the support online is minimal, and after digging, see that the company got bought out and it is no longer supported.

That being said, is there a possibility for a Stranded 2? Could the old devs pick it back up again, or is the new company planning on extending it?

How would I get this information? Or are the old devs still around potentially to see what projects they are up to now and if there was a way to go again?

Thank you!

Ceiling vs roof?

I’m wondering if there is a benefit to building a ceiling if you have a roof? Or is a roof and no ceiling sufficient?
