To make things worse, the ever worsening water supply problem requires constant maintenance as machines need water and fuel to run but water is a limited resource, just like wood. Not only does the desert sand gather on everything requiring a dusting off from time to time but sandstorms can rage through the land and clog up machinery. That is a good thing however as life in the desert is difficult and this is emphasized by how players are now meant to gather some basic materials compared to before as well as dealing with the weather conditions that come with living in a desert. These little quality of life improvements are almost immediate across the board, be it the easier manufacturing of required parts, the ability to navigate through storage easier without needing to explore through numerous chests, and even quick bag upgrades should players find themselves desperate for a spot. Crafting large items still makes use of a construction platform where materials are brought though now players will have an easier job of locating exactly what materials will be required when crafting things as manufacturing tools will specifically highlight not only what object needs to be crafted, but also how many they need to make should they already have the base materials. Players still obtain various smaller requests from a board asking for various products to be made and delivered or direct requests from a character themselves with a time limit while larger more intensive tasks that often progress the story are almost always presented with no time limit and allow for players to work around growing their own repertoire, gathering resources, and more without the need for an ever ticking clock. The next thing will be just how similar but also different My Time at Sandrock is from Portia. One thing that players will immediately notice is that Sandrock offers a rather extensive character creator which is a nice touch given how the player character appears in nearly every cutscene. Past events have led to the town falling into a dilapidated state and players take on the role of a new Builder coming in to take over the job of their previous one retiring. Still set in the same world where an apocalyptic event occured and humanity managed to come out the other side mostly intact, the people of Sandrock have managed to stick it out despite the desert’s harsh conditions. My Time at Sandrock takes players out of the lusher fields and into the more dangerous and risky life of the desert frontier.
