The Strayed Engineers have done it again!
This year's 2nd monthly update brings unlockable mysteries, hidden away behind locked doors inside new and refreshed monuments!
Strayed Update 0.5.0.0 makes for more interesting travels across the island - and looting in-between. With newly-designed monuments such as the Sawmill, the Oil Refinery, and (finally) a new Prison - with locked doors waiting for Strayers to unlock - makes this a monumental update for all! Not to mention being able to finally gift your friends sleeping bags.
With unlocked potential upon us all. Let's jump right into it!
The New Sawmill Monument!
The engineers who worked on the airfield and radio tower from before is back at it again! They needed to have a better way to transfer large building resources - especially lumber.
And so they have decided to build a huge sawmill - but have decided to leave it even after constructions complete.
More than just a regular sawmill, the whole place has scattered loot left by the engineers who may have left in a swift haste for some reason. Who knows what kind of mayhem ensues in this lumber production area.
New Oil Refinery!
Of course - with new places to build comes big machinery to run. The Strayed Engineers needed energy in the form of oil. What could be better than a good old fashioned Oil Refinery?
The New Oil Refinery is as large as you can imagine - with tankers and refineries connected by large pipes going in and out of the main building.
There's also a huge talk about something left by the engineers - locked doors unlockable only by certain gadgetry. Who knows what they may have left behind these large blast doors, and what the reason for building them in secret.
New Prison!
It's said that this was the main reason the engineers went back to the island with more construction materials (and new production areas e.g. Sawmill and Oil Refinery) than ever before. Their benefactors may have wanted to have a better way of controlling criminals within the island - and what better way than a larger, more complex prison?
Yes, Strayers - you have been waiting for this for a long time - the new Prison Monument is here!
A main prison building annexed by an entrance behind towering walls and gates, this is not just an ordinary site. There's no strict visiting hours, so anyone can be here at any time - besides, there are more reasons than one to visit the prison.
Some say there are secrets within the prison walls built by the engineers themselves - for reasons we'll never know.
The Gadget - Unlocking Potential!
When the engineers built the new monuments, they built them with secret agendas. They meant to hide something within large blast doors only unlockable with "The Gadget". Some of these "gadgets" may have been left by them.
Keep a keen eye on these things, as they hold more value than what they look like. Be careful though, you may not be the only one holding "gadgets", and you are certainly not the only one in pursuit of it and the fortunes that lie ahead for those who hold it.
Important Notes on the Gadget: The first gadget is found at Gas Station, and it needs to be scanned at the authority terminal right next to it to get level 1 clearance on the gadget. The gadget needs to be taken to Airfield where the locked room can be opened. That locked room gives you level 2 clearance, which can be taken to either Oil Refinery or Sawmill to unlock their rooms. Those rooms will give you level 3 clearance which can be taken to Prison to get some good loot.
Sleeping Bag Gifting - For our Friends!
As the title says - sleeping bags can now be gifted to your friends! Say goodbye to finding your way into the wilderness just to meet up with your friends. Now, they can spawn right in front of you at will!
To gift a sleeping bag to your friend, the Sleeping Bag UI window will now open when you aim your dominant hand at a sleeping bag that you own and press grip trigger. This window will populate with a list of your friends. Next to each friend's name will be a "Gift Bag" button. Click that button to gift the bag to a friend. You can also manually enter a friend's username when gifting a bag.
Note: If you are on Steam, your friends list will only show Steam friends that are currently playing. If you are on Meta, you will see all Meta friends. If you are trying to gift a bag to someone that is on a different platform, you can type that player's username manually. The player you are gifting a bag to must be in the same server as you when you gift the bag, otherwise the bag will fail to gift to that player.
