We have heard your feedback loud and clear. We are in the process of revamping our UI, making improvements to our gameplay, and overall increasing the fun factor. We have taken a step back and are starting from scratch to build a better experience. 🫡
Before entering the world, make sure to obtain a Starter Kit. The Starter Kit includes 1 Random Seed, 1 Random Gem, 1 Water Harvester, 1 Ore Harvester, 10 Pipes, 5 Waters, and 10 Ores. This kit is essential to begin your odyssey. 📦
To start gathering resources for the game, deploy Water and Ore Harvesters. They will generate 1 unit every 2 minutes. Gather enough Ores to upgrade your machines and create additional deployable machines from the factory. 🏭
What is next?
We have collected valuable feedback from everyone and will use it to prepare for our next playtest (a few weeks from now).
Over the next few weeks, we will embark on a quest to explore the lore and reveal the secrets hidden beneath the sands. 🏜️
When planting your seed for the first time, ensure you are near vital resources like water and ores. After planting the seed, activate the Temple by depositing water. This will activate Aether, enabling you to power the machines. ⚙️
That should get you started! Join us on our Discord server to connect with fellow Settlers, and please make sure to report any issues as we continue to build this World together. Aether Sands welcomes you to uncover its mysteries and explore the Autonomous World within. 🏜️
