Sobrius is more temperate with large meadows and regional diversity.

Desertum is, as the name suggests, a hot desert, dry and unforgiving. There are two regions at launch for Stranded: Alien Dawn - Desertum and Sobrius. Building a research desk reveals a large list of potential improvements that can transform this outing from survive to thrive. Little more than four walls and a floor, it is better than something you’d see on an episode of Survivor, but additional research would be needed to make it a home. A few lean-to structures now covered our collected resources while my crew used stacks of logs to assemble a basic log cabin-like building. Another survivor headed over to what looked like Earth pine trees with a saw – we’d have a proper shelter in no time.įast forward a short while and we’ve managed to put down something approaching a camp. Looking at my team, one of them was especially keen to tackle research activities – I sent them off to observe the nearby strange orange mushroom-like growths. Returning to the wreckage, one of my crew was able to recover emergency rations, but those wouldn’t last forever. When things get cold, this simply will not do.

It’d keep the rain off our heads, but little else. Grabbing chunks of metal off of the wreckage, I was able to put up a basic shelter. Given that your ship is more of a lander than a colony ship, there’s very little on it to help your immediate needs. Now calm, my entire team set out to try to figure out just how they’d survive in a hostile environment with no tools and no hope. One of my crew saw this and headed over to comfort them back from this manic episode. While three of my crew scurried from the wreckage quickly and set about immediately trying to pick up valuable resources, a fourth member immediately had a breakdown. Stranded kicks off, as the name suggests, with my crew hurtling towards an unknown planet surface, our ship disabled and on fire.
