While every specialist can perform every job, they each have a profession that makes them better at certain tasks. Until then, your best bet to obtain valuable resources, especially for advanced components, will be exploring the main map. But their job is critical, especially at first, because it will be a long time before you can start making valuable resources in town. If they are injured, you need to bring them back home so they can heal up. There are also wandering bandits, wild animals and other hazards, so you need to be careful how you use your valuable specialists. Instead, you need to recruit specialists to explore the world, beat back the fog of war and find valuable resources caches to bring back to your town. It’s a tough world out there, so your normal villagers wouldn’t last long. The overview map shows the broken world where your new civilization calls home. Which brings us to the second component of the game. And to even be able to research new techs, you need to earn research points, which can normally only reliably be found out on the main map outside your town.
Surviving the aftermath developer movie#
You can’t have the aforementioned movie theater without first researching electricity and then building some type of power producing structures in your town. Obviously, technologies build onto one another. Helping you keep your colony running is a very complex tech tree where you can research everything from better farming techniques to building movie theaters. Finally, you will need to bring in new people to continue to grow your town, balanced by the need to have an infrastructure that can support them.
For the most part, the villagers are smart enough to perform their tasks without assistance, though you can direct them to certain “work areas” where they will concentrate their efforts. Eventually, those structures can be upgraded to support higher level activities like a woodcutter’s house with a worker who chops down trees, or a forester’s hut to house those who plant seedlings to make sure that your logging is sustainable for the long term.
You meet those needs by constructing key buildings focused on a resource, and then assigning someone to work there, like a wood scavenger who picks apart the bones of old structures around your new base. Fail in any of those tasks, and your town might experience an unrecoverable die-off. Your citizens also have secondary needs like medical problems that pop up from time to time which need to be addressed by medics working out of special facilities. And you will need a safe place for everyone to sleep and live as well. You will also need to sink wells and gather water, collect food from the land or maybe raise crops to keep your people fed. You do this by gathering resources like wood, plastic, steel and concrete from the environment around your new home. The first, and where you will be spending the most time, is building up your home city. There are three main components to the game. And your quest to do that begins with a small village and a handful of ragged survivors. Apparently, some meteorites were involved (the kind that fall to Earth) and then all of the world’s armies got to fighting, but it doesn’t really matter because you are given a clean slate to try and start society back up again. The plot is a little bit vague on exactly what happened, but it was not a full-on nuclear war because while there are some radioactive zones and sometimes fallout to contend with, much of the world is still vibrant and green. The DLC also adds a mysterious and powerful civilization that is actively working against you and trying to steal your limited resources and sabotage your grand plans for the world.Īs might be expected from the name of the game, Surviving the Aftermath takes place following a major disaster that more or less destroyed all of the world’s major civilizations. The core game released last year but was recently updated with a New Alliances DLC that puts other struggling civilizations into the wasteland for you to ally with or fight. Surviving the Aftermath is developed by Iceflake Studios and published by Paradox Interactive. I will be covering at least some of those games in a bit, but this week I wanted to talk about a more established title that really captured my attention, and that I am sure fellow survivalists, and those who like base building and Civilization type games will also enjoy. The festival has given me an excuse to dive into some new titles with a lot of potential like Northern Lights and Mist Survival that are still in early access. Then again, survival type games are right up there with RPGs as my favorite genre for games. I have been having so much fun with the Steam Survival Festival that I wish that it went on for a lot longer.
