Summary

In this guide, players are introduced to a new server phase where they can sign up for a seasonal hard mode scenario. Before diving in, key preparations are necessary, including completing the weekly purification, acquiring essential items like advanced chainsaws and solar drills, and managing storage efficiently. The guide emphasizes careful resource management, such as prioritizing deviations, crafting essential equipment, and boosting weapon damage.

Takeaways

• 😀 Before jumping into the new season, make sure to complete your weekly purification to earn valuable star chrome.
• 😀 You can choose between Hard Mode or Normal Mode servers for the new season, with Hard Mode offering more challenges and rewards.
• 😀 Always craft essential items like the Advanced Chainsaw and Solar Drill before venturing into a new server, though the Solar Drill cannot be transferred.
• 😀 Ensure that your deviations (like the logging beavers and Digby boys) are set up to avoid farming them repeatedly in the new scenario.
• 😀 Brew Mal alss to save on sanity and hydration while you’re actively playing, as it removes resource management issues for 30 minutes.
• 😀 Remember that the new season’s items and progress cannot be transferred back, so prepare your loadout and storage carefully before you sign up.
• 😀 Your inventory, including important deviations and tools, can be transferred to a new season via the SpaceTime backpack, but some items (like weapons) may be more expensive to move than to craft.
• 😀 Resources like Stardust or Acid can be obtained directly, but farming is the recommended method for most raw materials to avoid wasting points.
• 😀 Modifying your gear early in the season can give you a substantial advantage, especially with weapon and armor mods for boosting damage and efficiency.
• 😀 Setting up your base quickly is crucial for success—get started early to take advantage of building resources and deviations to build a functional base in record time.
• 😀 Use the ion base building method for a fast and efficient setup, with a fully functioning base achievable in less than an hour using deviations for farming.
