Been brainstorming a little and there's probably a way to become immortal (or at least, survive indefinitely) in v.0.4.1. It all hinges on whether the power at Talos can fail or not. (Note: Talos doesn't have power. Have fun being immortal.)
Mild spoilers for the following guide:
- Wake up. (Hardest step takes many tries) Standard Get Up and Repair the Rover routine;
make sure to modify the Rover for the mining machine rotors and install the generator in it.EDIT: DO NOT TAKE THE GENERATOR. - DO NOT take the Food Synthesizer Coupler. You'll eventually be living off its Basic Food until the stars in the sky go supernova, or Shadowsand updates the game again.
- When you're ready, drive out of Talos and towards the Santorini Dam. If you can't see that direct route, then skip the rest of this guide and play up until the end of the current content in v.0.4.1.
- Take the Closest Crate and optionally, the Electrical Crate. If you don't take the Electrical Crate here, you'll need to grab the equivalent crate supplies at Astrape.
- Drive to the Santorini Quarry and call the Tram and the Mining Machine. Use this time to change into your environment suit, install an Empty Power Cell and grab the rations.
- Replace your rover's rotors. You don't need to do this, but it'd be preferable to racing the clock later.
- Drive to Santorini Central and begin charging your rover. Use the tram's travel time to load the quick-cycling water recycler onto the rover. When the tram reaches the quarry, call it over to S. Central.
- Ride the tram all the way to Astrape.
- Jump into the basement from the civilian sector and head to the upper floors, then take the CO2 Scrubbers and Carbon Filter. Restock on water here while you're at it.
- Fit the new CO2 Scrubbers and take the tram back to Santorini Central, where your rover is waiting. It should've finished charging a while ago.
- Drive out of Santorini, back to the dam and back to Talos. You might get a view of the white light atomizing everything behind you, tram included.
- Install the Carbon Filter and spare Power Coupler from across the dam in Talos.
- Congratulations! You are now immortal. Miserable? Absolutely, but so long as Shadowsand doesn't blow up Talos, you can live until the next patch (whereupon none of this will matter anyway).
I managed these steps BEFORE Santorini blew up, even with a few human errors.
great game btw
