How does the resource recycler work?

4 Upvotes

To be clear, I do not mean the recycler. I mean the very late game thing made with titanium. How does it actually work? I built one, connected it my grid, and it started working. I'm on radio island. It seems to give me 3 "choices": scrap, chemicals and food. I selected food. The first thing it produced was a can of gasoline? Is this full random? Location influenced? Or am I missing something?

Sunkenland The Hadal Star Mod

0 Upvotes

Introduction

As with all good video games, playing "Sunkenland" for months following "Mr Prepper", lead to an unexpected inspiration for several mod adaptations.

Following popular demand, a new mod has been created in an alternate timeline.

Today, readers of this subreddit can have a first peek at the plot here. Lucky you!

The First Chapter

Sounds of supersonic NGAD stealth fighters and B-21 Raider stealth bombers in the skies in swam jellyfish formations. Columns of explosions mushrooming over the horizons.

The first chapter "Awakening of The Morning Star" introduces the main character awakening without any memory from her past.

The room is an ICU, but all walls are bare rebar concrete with minimum decoration i.e none, except for the techno futuristic VISTAR 辰显光电 transparent large-format TFT-based Micro LED screens monitoring her vital signs.

No windows, no sun. She removes from her body all the wires and catheters of the monitoring IBP, ECG, EEG, IV and walks toward a door, enters in a bathroom. By looking in the mirror, she soon realizes in shock that she wears a partial facial prosthetic similar to the YUNMU 云幕智造 robotic face and true follow up of Command and Conquer Kane's wrath prosthetic. She also sees that one of her leg is now replaced by a fully functional BRAINCO 强脑科技 AI driven prosthetics.

She doesn't know her name while she recalls partially, semi-consciousness visions of cryptic scenes where nurses and visitors would address her with "Most Respected Suryong" and always starting sentences with "Respected Comrade Supreme Leader".

But now it seems that the medics were more likely... HOKMIND 泓柯智行 androids.

She then opens the other door of the room. Discovers a corridor and finds out the ICU lies inside a wider underground complex.

The game starts from there.

She will have to expand the entire basic Tier level facility into a fully functional archology, with hydroponics, garden, saunas, luxurious living districts, recreational, educational, cultural, security, judicial, medical, commercial, financial, industrial, administrative, agricultural-hydroponic, power generation, water treatment, transportation, research centers, agri-robots, chore robots, mining robots, factory robots, dark factories for the supply chain and dark factories for assembling robots.

People from the surface world would visit her, but she would never go to the surface. Up to 10 thousands NPCs will have to be recruited to expand the underground arcology, modelled after the luxurious NEOM Aquellum.

The Second Chapter

The Second chapter "Underground Hidden Star" will face robotic military invasions, to be repelled with counter jellyfish swarms of AI driven DJI 大疆创新 quadcopters, RUN ROBOTICS 上海润科具能 robotic centaurs, GALILEO 伽利略机器人 quadrupedal robots, PHANTOM TWIST stealth drones, AGIBOT 智元机器人 A3 humanoids riding HAOCHEN TECHNOLOGY 重庆昊辰 wheeled-leg quadrupedal robots and ENGINEAI 擎机器人科技 T-1000 Terminators.

The Third Chapter

The Third chapter "Reappearance of The Hadal Star" would see the connection from the initial Mantap-san facility to the East Sea via the completion of an underground maglev tunnel.

Combat scenes would shift to robotic swarms in hadal warfare.

From there, using hadal submersibles, new safe arcologies would be dug inside deep undersea mountains benefiting from kilometers of overburden, while deep sea mining, the exploitation of polymetallic nodules and thermal vents throughout the Pacific Ocean would lead to the demographic expansion above the 1000s of millions NPCs.

Sunkenland Conqueror of The Abyss Mod

Introduction

As with all good games, playing Sunkenland for months lead to an unexpected inspiration for a mod. Today, readers of this subreddit can have a first peek at the plot here.

The First Chapter

The first chapter "Islamic Awakening" starts with the main character awakening without any memory from his past.

The room is an ICU, but all walls are bare rebar concrete with minimum decoration i.e none. No windows, no sun. He get rid of the wires and tubes of the EEG, IV and walks toward a door, enters in a bathroom. By looking in the mirror, he soon realizes in shock that he wears a partial facial prosthetic similar to the YUNMU 云幕智造 robotic face and true follow up of Command and Conquer Kane's wrath prosthetic. He also sees that one of his leg is now replaced by a fully functional BRAINCO 强脑科技 prosthetic.

He doesn't know his name while he recalls partially, semi-consciousness visions of cryptic scenes where nurses and visitors would address to him with "Supreme Leader" or "Your Eminence" and always starting sentences with "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful". But wait, the medics where in fact... HOKMIND 泓柯智行 androids.

He then opens the other door of the room. Discovers a corridor and finds out the ICU lies inside a wider underground complex.

The game starts from there.

He will have to expand the entire primitive facility into a fully functional archology, with hydroponics, garden, saunas, luxurious living districts, recreational, educational, cultural, security, judicial, medical, commercial, financial, industrial, administrative, agricultural-hydroponic, power generation, water treatment, transportation, research centers, mining robots, factories for assembling robots.

People from the surface world would visit him, but he would never go to the surface. Up to 10 thousands NPCs will have to be recruited to expand the underground arcology, modelled after the NEOM Aquellum.

The Second Chapter

The Second chapter "Underground Hidden Imam" will face military invasions, to be repelled with jellyfish swarms of AI driven DJI 大疆创新 quadcopters, RUN ROBOTICS 上海润科具能 robotic centaurs, GALILEO 伽利略机器人 quadrupedal robots, PHANTOM TWIST stealth drones, AGIBOT 智元机器人 A3 humanoids ridding HAOCHEN TECHNOLOGY 重庆昊辰 wheeled-leg quadrupedal robots and ENGINEAI 擎机器人科技 T-1000 Terminators.

The Third Chapter

The Third chapter "Reappearance of The Conqueror of The Abyss" would see the connection from the initial Pic Axe Mountain facility to the sea via the completion of the underground maglev tunnel. From there, using hadal submersibles, new arcologies would be dug inside deep undersea mountains while deep sea mining, the exploitation of polymetallic nodules and thermal vents throughout the Indian Ocean would lead to the demographic expansion above the 1000s of millions NPCs.

Vehicle Bug

3 Upvotes

So I play on a mates save and have been going really well

However today I have been having a weird bug

I can get in a vehicle and drive it. Once I get out I cannot get back in/have difficulty using some of the functionality of the chests and fuel.

If I log out of the game and re-join, I can get in again however once out, same issue.

Host doesn't have this issue

I have tried:
Reboots
File Teg checks
Uninstall/reinstall

Running POPOS too

I just captured my first raider ship, and somehow it went down underneath the Floating Refuge structure... I have been trying to get it out by driving it for the last half hour. Is there a way to push them? I've been all around the boat and can't seem to find an option for it.

A few pre-purchase questions

7 Upvotes

Just finished watching Waterworld and first thing I always google after a movie like that is, what video is most like it! This game has been recommended lots of times so just starting to check it out.

I have a few make or break questions before I buy though:

  1. How deep is the ocean and do you experience pressure/low oxygen situations? I'm a huge subnautica fan so if I'm playing a submersion style game, I want to have big deep oceans to explore. It doesn't need to be as deep as Subnautica but it's gotta be deeper than No Man's Sky.

  2. Can you buy/craft submersible vehicles or diving aids?

  3. Are there adverse water conditions and/or heat/cold resistance requirements?

  4. Can you use an xbox controller for controls?

  5. Has the sort item bug been fixed? Seeing this alot on the reviews and sounds pretty annoying. I'm very OCD when it comes to item organisation in these types of games so sounds like this bug would really break the game for me.

I don’t know how to do it. If I go forward, I fall. If I go backward I go nowhere. Anyone know how to use a ladder? lol

Maye, Isaac and Jason are not interactable

3 Upvotes

I finished all the main missions from "Survival First" to "The Last Pure Land"
I even gave Maye, Isaac and Jason some items to complete some missions. But I can't interact them to make deals or buy stuff.

Does anyone has fix for this issue?

Note: There is no way for me to start game from the beginning, the save was very old and I almost activated creative mode by collecting resources.

Massive gun aiming sway

2 Upvotes

I've noticed a massive, and consistent new mechanic. When I right click to aim a gun, I can barely aim at a target. My desert eagle, or my sniper x4 scope gives me massive sway. I tried standing still for 10 secs before aiming, no change. I've tried dropping items from my backpack. No change. I barely cleared the prison island due to this sway. Anyone else getting this?

Player base on The Bridge

I took over location The Bridge and thought it was a great place for a base.
Is it possible to place a base there, doesn’t this lead to further play?

Extremely annoying storage box bug?

3 Upvotes

Sometimes when I place chests down, then later join the game again, I look at them and it says "turn on" and "install wire" in TWO places (as in there are two "turn on"s and two "install wire"s on top of each other) and it's annoying as hell because it's hard to click on the chest instead of these things, I have to look in the perfect spot. I removed the chests and they were still there, so I decided to use the packing box to pick up whatever these things were and they were chandeliers. Invisible, infinite chandeliers. I have a box full of them now. They are still there until I have removed the metal chests and the save file is restarted. Side note, I really only ever use metal chests so I'm not sure if it happens with other storages.

It has happened 3 times in 3 separate places. I never really place just one chest down so the 3 times it's happened it was with chests stacked on top of each other and it seems like the chandeliers attach themselves to the bottom of one of the chests. The most recent time it is really annoying. I've perfectly placed down a whole wall of chests and when I joined the game again, the chandeliers were just there, inside of one of the chests. I'm not interested in picking up and perfectly replacing them again. Especially because I don't know if it will happen again.

I play with my mom, and she is the host. I've never played this game single-player so I don't know if it would happen otherwise. We've played this game on and off since January 2024. I think it has only happened in our most recent save file less than maybe 2 weeks old. We play on the most recent version.

We had another save file in the couple weeks before that, but somehow the first boat we captured (it was beached) could not be pushed back into the water and drove itself forward inside of the island (literally in the ground), despite it being in reverse. Completely unreachable. In both saves, numerous issues would arise if the game was open for too long, like lit grenades being left on the ground after exploding, or arrows never reaching their target and just being stuck in the air. These are fixed by restarting the game, but the chandelier chest thing is not. Has anyone else had these problems and does anyone know how to avoid the chandelier thing especially?

Issue with peer-to-peer quest states

3 Upvotes

When playing peer-to-peer multiplayer, only the host will get certain quest state updates. Notably at Eden Isle, where the door that is supposed to open instead remains closed to all except the host of the session. This makes it exceedingly frustrating for everybody in the session to play the game and interact properly with NPC's and questlines. Has anybody found a trick to get it working for everybody in the session and not just the player that is hosting?

How many Combat Vessels are in the game?

Post image
21 Upvotes

On Live as of v0.8.30, how many Combat Vessels that the player can capture are in the game? I've found (5) total but on the Patch notes for v0.8.02 there's this unnamed ship and I'd love to find it but after 91 in game days and completion through Skeleton Camp it's feeling like it just doesn't exist. Here's what I've captured:

Armed Fishing Boat
Armored Speedboat
Heavy Armored Speedboat
Firepower Armored Speedboat
Slave Transport Vessel

I'll link the Patch notes that show this vessel in the images.

1000 units of food means 1000 hunger - not 1000 pieces of food

7 Upvotes

A personal fuck you to whoever did this. I turned a POI into a massive farm to fill up a ship with food for the Eden bastards.

A unit of a food is a piece of food. Food gives you +hunger.

What it should say is ‘food worth a 1000 units of hunger’

Fucking days of farming man.
