We covered resource management in Sandrock, to show you how to bring this debilitated town with limited resources back to its old honor. As the builder, you must use resources wisely.
A while back, Sandrock experienced a “gold rush” period that brought serious environmental devastation to the town.
The trees around Sandrock were all cut down, and Martle’s Oasis slowly dried up. This pillaging of nature turned out to be of very fleeting benefit: as more accessible ruins in other city-states opened up, Sandrock’s population dwindled; more railways were built, diminishing the importance of the town’s location, and just as quickly as it started, the boom was over, leaving only a dusty and eroded desertscape; a husk, all but squeezed empty.
Now, it’s your time to restore Sandrock’s former beauties! Here are things you need to know before you start.
Water is the source of life! First be keen to water management
- Water: water is super important in Sandrock, your machine won't work without water;
- Burgess: he is in charge of the water tower in Sandrock, be sure to listen to his water suggestions;
- Water tank: The container for storing water in your workshop can add water into it and manage your machines' water usage;
- Dew: Can be crafted to become water in your worktable. You can gather dew from nearby rocks, animals & plants;
- Church store: it is located below the water tower by the tracks, you can buy water here, but be careful! Water is not cheap!
Recycling system
Players can recycle and obtain waste materials from the junkpile and scraps surrounding Sandrock. Builders can decompose these wastes into useful materials through the recycling machine.
- Pickhammer：an important tool for builders, it can't just dig for ores in ruins, but can also be used to turn debris into usable materials;
- Recycler: it can break down the trash into raw building components, an important machine for builders to gather resources;
- Scarps & Junk piles: You can get basic resources and recyclable materials from them; Scattered throughout Sandrock and mining caves.
Machine/Item Quality
Despite using the same resource input, your machines may give you items of various quality depending on your luck!
- Machines, weapons, and other items can be crafted to different qualities;
- The color represents the quality of the item, higher quality items have better buffs and effects.
- The higher the quality of your equipment, the more enhancements will be available;
- Machine management: depends on your style, you can switch from "Use high-quality components first" to "Use low-quality components first" while you assemble your machines or craft items;
Well, hopefully you’ve learned a lot about the resource management in Sandrock, and these should be enough for you to start your adventure soon! At last, all Sandrock residents believe you’re the chosen one to bring back the honor and prosperity!
