Howdy all,
How’s your summer going? We hope it’s been a good one! It’s been a super hot summer over here. Despite that, we’ve turned up the heat with some hot new content - be sure to check out the previous update preview or previous Closed Beta changelist if you missed them, because there’s a lot coming to Sandrock!
New Romanceable Characters Almost Unlocked
The concept art for the 400K new friends is finished! The male character is a writer from Atara, intrigued by the story of Logan. The female is a teacher who’s looking to settle back into Sandrock when the opportunity arises.
We’ll unlock two extra romanceable NPCs when we reach 400K wishlist, but they are not guaranteed to be added to Sandrock, we’re less than 50K wishlists away from unlocking them in the game, so share the news and have your friends wishlist Sandrock on Steam now!
Romance
Love is in the air! ...For a few NPCs, at least. You can now hang out with certain NPCs to get to know them better, take them out on dates to improve your relationship, and play minigames that have been improved from their Portian iterations!
If the apple of your eye is a confirmed dateable but doesn’t have romance content yet, never fear! Romance content for other eligible characters will be added in future updates.
Raising
As an elite Builder, raising animals in your workshop can be both an enjoyable and a useful endeavor. The basics of the animal-raising functions have been added to your workshop, but you may need to expand your yard more and allocate your yard space wisely!
New Pets
In addition to the ranch animals, more cuties are coming to Sandrock for you to befriend and potentially adopt!
New Interiors
Ready for a fresh new look? Well, head down to the local hair cutting parlor to meet the friendly stylist, Pablo! The ability to change your hairstyle at the parlor isn’t available in this build, but in the future, Pablo will be able to take care of your every need and help you transform your look!
New Device
As you start expanding your workshop, you’ll find it more and more difficult (or expensive!) to collect enough water to keep your machines cool in the desert heat. That’s where the Dew Collector comes in! Make some of these handy devices to collect airborne water droplets and you’ll be able to become more self-sustaining!
Mini Games
We had more minigames improved and optimized, now they are more interesting and we hope they will bring more fun to you!
-Sandrunning
We’ve optimized the sledding minigame, from the track to the art to the controls! Feel the exhilaration and enjoy the beautiful desert views while you sled down from the top of the high, sandy mountain.

-Whack-A-Mole
A mega-sized version of a familiar game! Grab your inflatable hammer and get ready to bonk some moles!
See you in Sandrock!
