It’s A Jungle Out There! Discover The Exciting New Update Coming to Stranded: Alien Dawn

Stranded: Alien Dawn is set to receive an exciting free update that will transport players to an entirely new frontier: The Saltu region. This lush, untamed environment is the game’s most diverse and colorful biome yet, and will also introduce several challenges to test players’ survival strategies. In this blog, we will delve into the fascinating features of this new biome and explore the unique challenges it presents.

Volatile Weather Patterns

Survivors will find themselves surrounded by towering trees, thick undergrowth, and bounteous wildlife. Navigating this dense foliage can prove tricky, as visibility is reduced. Saltu’s volatile weather patterns can also lead to sudden downpours which drench the landscape, thunderstorms with intense lightning strikes, and thick mists – all of which increase the difficulty for the survivors.

Players will also have to contend with oppressive heatwaves and humidity. Surviving in extreme weather conditions requires careful planning and preparation, such as finding shelter, crafting appropriate clothing, or managing limited resources to combat the elements and keep the food from decomposing in humid conditions. The ability to adapt and react swiftly to changing weather patterns will be crucial for survival.

Surviving the Saltu region demands constant vigilance against tropical diseases. The humid climate provides an ideal breeding ground for illnesses such as: Swarm Fever, Blood infections, and Gut Worms. Players must take precautions, craft medicinal remedies, and seek out natural treatments to counter the risks. Meanwhile, Xenoflora Blight may spread through healthy plants and damage crops if left unmanaged, leaving the group without a harvest.

Meet The Local Wildlife

The Saltu region is home to a wide variety of creatures, and the Jungle Update introduces a host of new alien wildlife. From the Noth and Shogu, two unique animals arriving in the Jungle Update, to the various insectoids and their nests. Players must learn to coexist with these creatures or face dire consequences.
