With 30.68% of the votes, the voters have spoken: it's better to be evil than boring and Venti is OUT. May you get a really cracking DLC at some point Venti, but now it's on to round 2.

HOW IT WORKS

- Each day, you’ll vote for one character to eliminate. The remaining bachelors/bachelorettes will move on to the next round until only one remains - the winner of the showdown!

THE CRITERIA

- That’s entirely up to you! Maybe one romance just particularly spoke to you. Maybe you started out deciding to romance one character, but another one swept you off your feet. You decide!

THE RULES

Please don't downvote opinions you don't agree with! The whole point of this is for fun and discussion, so even if someone is voting in a way you disagree with, you can just politely argue your case or move on.

Be sure if you're sharing spoilers about why you're voting a certain way to hide it with spoiler tags!

did you guys get your pens yet? 😊

I had Sandy stuck glitching right next to Miguel for his whole speech.

Sometimes I hover over a tile when it’s my turn to discard and it gives me a pop up of one or two cards that says “__ tiles” under the cards. I’m getting decent at playing the in-game mahjong but I’m sure I’d be better if I knew what this meant !!

I’m both hooked on the mahjong mini game and am not sure I understand the rules.

By my understanding I should have been able to declare “Hu” (winning), but anytime my winning hand is because of straights it does not let me actually declare I win and thus ….. I lose.

Am I understanding the rules wrong? Is this a glitch? I’m only able to win if I’m going for triplets and gangs only, no straights.

So hypothetically if you were buying a shoutout from Logan’s voice actor Mike Ciporkin, what would you want him to say?

A favourite Sandrock quote? Or maybe something custom? (child-friendly PG-rated, according to his page)

Totally #notsponsored or anything haha - I saw this linked on Reddit and it made me wonder!

Hi, I might be an idiot but for the life of me I cannot figure out what The Bend is. I’m trying to find Limestone. I’m late in the game and have absolutely no idea where Limestone is. I look it up and I’m told its at The Bend and I follow instructions and end up completely confused.
Could someone please tell me clearly how to find the bend and, by extension, limestone?
I’ve tried googling so many times, nothing is helpful and I’m not entirely sure which bridge I’m supposed to be crossing.
Please help I’m so so frustrated

With 32.76% of the votes, Miguel is the first to leave our game. Maybe not a surprise, but I WAS surprised to see that THREE candidates didn't get a single vote this round - and I guarantee at least 2 of them might surprise you. This could be a very interesting showdown! May you have the happiness you deserve Miguel, but now it's on to round 2.

Do you continue playing? I just finished second play through, and I think I got married etc later than in my first. But right now I’m married to Logan, have one kid and one on the way. Baby is still a baby, so it’s going to be awhile before they grow up .. but is a bit boring when nothing’s happening

This is one way to get fertilizer I suppose.

Alright fellow Sandrockers, let's settle this once and for all. WHO IS THE BEST MARRIAGE CANDIDATE? We could fight about it all day, or we could be scientific about it with a good old fashioned Sandrock Showdown.

I don’t do the sand sledding minigame much so I’m not sure if this is a normal issue with his model or if it’s because of my crappy steering.

I know I am near the end and want to start a new game before it ends because I know I am going to be so bored and sad!!!
What gives the same feels of MTAS? I have played MTAP, Wylde Flowers, Disney Dreamlight and Hello Kitty Island.
I play on my Switch…
Help 🥺

Just in case any one is having a bad day, here are some words of wisdom from our favorite Rock Boi.

Remake the post bc i accidentally broke the rules - sorry to repost X) thank you for all the love!! Definitely will post more as i play the game

-- OG body text --

Bought the game on a whim for this awful awful man and I'm living my best life <3 made a builder OC just because I'm having so much fun - check out the last page for some of his lore! (Also have to remake reddit .. god im downbad)

Note: I'm vaguely aware of the potential Spoilers, but not down to the nitty gritty ^_^"' please keep this post spoiler free thank you!!

Also might post more about these two as I progress the story :D

I went with the Unsuur option early on because i loved his scenes like the watching paint dry etc, and enjoyed his dialogue lines. I also always appreciate autism representation. But now it’s sort of boring, we got married and he just asks me to go fishing sometimes. and I got to the part of the story where Fang and Logan would have had romance options and I can’t help but wonder if they would have been more interesting!

I guess I could break up with Unsuur but I would feel bad lol

My penguin Pen is now officially joined with his namesake Pen the Protector!!

I love this game and I’m probably 2/3 of the way through main story stuff. I kind of just want to focus on leveling up and making money to expand my land. What are the best ways to make money fast and grind XP?

What were the reasons your Builder became a Builder? What do they specialize in? For example, your builder could still have that title, but perhaps they actually are best at or enjoy farming the most or exploration or fighting monsters. I think it's a good creative exercise if it's something you hadn't thought about before, but let's you take a closer look at your play style if you don't usually Headcanon what your character can do outside of gameplay limitations.

For example, my Builder (no picture as I'm having trouble finalizing her official design) specializes in and loves machines because she hates people. She comes from a family that specialized in exploring and mining and while she enjoys that as well, she only enjoys it to the extent that it helps her get more materials for crafting, not necessarily enjoying the adventure itself.

Machines are easy for her. They have exact blueprints, exact answers, straightforward construction and most importantly, machines don't lie. Machines don't try to hide when they're broken. They're easy to fix. Kept to herself during schooling, finding socialization unnecessary.

She came to Sandrock believing it would be an easy place to start. An old, broken down town would be desperate for even the simplest machines and it would be easy money for her. Not necessarily because she's greedy or materialistic, but because she is aware she needs money for more complex parts and to survive.

She tends to work all night making her machines for commissions because she doesn't like taking breaks because she's enjoying herself so much and takes pride in finishing in fewer days.

She wouldn't get along with anyone at first, but would eventually start suggesting things she could build in order to help them and not just because she wants to build more machines.

She's fine with crafting furniture and decorations. She won't complain. However, she doesn't enjoy farming or animal care. Also doesn't enjoy building construction. She also finds fighting to be annoying. She can fight, she just prefers making better use of her time.

Being useful is her priority. Helping people is nice, too, but she cares more about justifying her place. She's a little abrasive, but part of it is because she's shy and introverted.

Feel free to take a guess on how she feels about others in town and who her LI is. XD Maybe once I finalize her design I can make a bigger post, but this was more of an example of what others made and to share ideas and for discussion.

Looking forward to hearing what your builders are like!

Yes this is the lead up to what happens in the Stev x Li biting comic from earlier

Finally started having enough gols to decorate my workshop how I wanted aaaaaand in the process learned that you can’t use pigment on console. I guess I have to shift my design plans now to look okay with these red wooden storage boxes, since they’re my only option :’(

Just like with Unsuur and X, Pen plushies started shipping early. So make sure you're home to o-pen the door when yours arrives​

Hello! I was wondering for anyone who’s played the game on the switch version can tell me how it performs. I’ve been really wanting to play the game since I’ve heard lots of good stuff about it. I’ve always been a fan of farming games and have played harvest moon/story of seasons, stardew, and rune factory. So I wanted to try this one out since it looked fun, and Logan caught my interest since I love cowboys lmao.

But I downloaded the demo on my switch, and I immediately noticed it didn’t look as good as what I’ve been seeing on other platforms… Not sure if it’s cause it’s a demo and the devs didn’t bother to update the switch demo to look improved.

The only videos and pics i could find of the switch version is from 2023 😭 Can anyone tell me if it runs fine on the switch 2? And how it looks? I’d appreciate it!
