Old Earth Tech - 2024

Heads up! The mod is back in development under new management due to my time and skill limits. Mantastic has worked hard on the re-release and I'm on-board to help make it work. This version will remain on the workshop so nobody loses a well-earned savegame just because of this.

Welcome to Old Earth Tech - 2024

I thank you all.

Old Earth Tech is meant to bridge the technological and production gap in the base version of Stranded : Alien Dawn. I understand that the lore of the game has instructions and recipes to jump immediately into more “modern” technologies, but I feel that misses something important.

Even when you know how to make something, you might lack the materials or especially the tools to do so. Often you’d lack the basic tools needed to create the end product. And even when you have those tools and materials, you probably don’t have a large or steady supply of them.

So I decided to remedy this honest oversight in the pursuit of a straightforward gaming experience. Of course I did so by making things more complex and interactive with each other. If that isn’t something you care for I completely understand and respect it, but I’d still suggest giving it a try. Old Earth Tech Is a work in progress and I actively enjoy feedback and suggestions. Now that the introduction notes are done, here’s what Old Earth Tech has to offer!
