Surviving the Aftermath: Shattered Hope Key Features

  • Face the Moonfall and use it to your advantage with the new Building Boost mechanic – The Moon is shattered in the sky and its fragments are crushing down on Earth leaving behind them devastation –  but also moon rock deposits. You can refine lunar fragments and obtain lunar dust which will be used to increase the production of your buildings for a limited time. This new building boost mechanic is called overtime.
  • Keep your hopes up, and feast! – Hope is a new global value that decreases over time and when catastrophes happen in the game. If kept too low for too long, it will trigger a new condition called anguish that, if left untreated, may turn your colonists hostile. So, keep your hope as high as possible by holding feasts at the new colony square building.
  • New production chain: take care of your colonists – When colonists experience anguish, you can help them by building a trauma center where they will heal. They will recover faster thanks to a brand-new medicine called antistress. To make it, you’ll have to grow raw resources on the mushroom farm, then refine them into the actual medicine in the med hut building.
