Stranded: Alien Dawn is expected to receive an exciting free update that will take players to an entirely new frontier: the Saltu region. This lush, untamed environment is the game’s most diverse and colorful biome to date, and will also feature multiple challenges to test players’ survival strategies. In this blog, we will delve into the intriguing characteristics of this new biome and explore the unique challenges it presents.
Volatile weather patterns
Survivors will be surrounded by towering trees, dense undergrowth, and lush wildlife. Navigating through this dense foliage can prove difficult as visibility is limited. The volatile weather conditions in Saltu can also result in sudden downpours that drench the landscape, thunderstorms with violent lightning strikes, and overly thick fog – all increasing the difficulty for survivors.
Players also have to contend with sweltering heat and humidity. Surviving extreme weather conditions requires careful planning and preparation, e.g. B. finding a shelter, crafting appropriate clothing, or managing limited resources to brave the elements and keep the food from decomposing in humid conditions. The ability to quickly adapt and respond to changing weather conditions will be essential for survival.
Constant vigilance against tropical diseases is required to survive in the Saltu region. The humid climate provides an ideal breeding ground for diseases such as swarm fever, blood infections and intestinal worms. Players must take precautions, craft medical cures, and seek natural treatments to counteract the risks. Meanwhile, the Xenoflora plague can spread through healthy plants and damage crops if left unchecked, leaving the group unable to harvest.
Get to know the local wildlife
The Saltu region is home to a variety of creatures, and the Jungle update introduces a variety of new alien wildlife. From Noth and Shogu, two unique animals coming with the Jungle update, to the various insectoids and their nests. Players must learn to live with these creatures or face dire consequences.
Our friends and developers behind Stranded: Alien Dawn, Haemimont Games, have worked hard to create an Xbox experience players will remember. They said: “Players can delve deep into the untamed heart of Saltu, a lush jungle region teeming with exotic wildlife and botanical wonders. Prepare to meet the myriad challenges of survival amidst the fascinating allure of new creatures and plants.”
They also had a secret tip for surviving in the new region: “Look out for Purpleleaf, a remarkable source of building materials. While not suitable for direct consumption, its transformative properties shine when it comes to making delicious kimchi.”
Accept challenges, prepare for the unknown and embark on an exciting adventure where conquering the alien wilderness is the ultimate test of your survival skills.
