The Miner Alter — The Alters Walkthrough

Master The Alters with our comprehensive beginner's guide. Learn base building, resource management, crafting, and keeping your Alters happy to ensure your escape.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Objective: Escape the planet before the sun rises and its intense radiation kills you. This requires completing specific tasks, such as refueling the base, manufacturing equipment, and securing rations.
  2. 2
    Base Building: Access the building menu via the Command Center terminal. Modules must be placed adjacent to existing ones. Green highlights indicate valid placement spots. Modules add mass, requiring more fuel. Modules can be moved or deleted (with some exceptions) using LMB to move and RMB to delete.
  3. 3
    Base Mass & Fuel: Each module increases base mass, requiring more Fuel (Organics) for travel. Upgrade storage capacity and the Organics Tank limit. Use the Scanner to find Organics deposits and connect them with Mining Outposts and Pylons.
  4. 4
    Tiredness & Exhaustion: All actions consume energy. Monitor the Energy Bar; when tired, tasks take longer. Exhaustion bleeds into the next day, reducing available awake time. Prioritize essential tasks to manage time effectively.
  5. 5
    Crafting: Schedule crafting via the 'TAB' menu, selecting 'Production' and then the relevant workshop (Workshop, Kitchen, Greenhouse, Refinery). Go to the designated room and use the interact key ('E') at the Workbench. Crafting consumes significant energy.
  6. 6
    Crafting Recipes:
    • Workshop: Mining Outpost (x30 Metals), Pylon Component Package x3 (x30 Metals), Suit Battery (x40 Organics), Drill Cartridge (x20 Metals), Repair Kit (x10 Metals), Radiation Filter (x10 Metals, x40 Organics), Qbit Chip (x20 Metals, x20 Minerals, x1 Damaged Chip).
  7. 7
    Kitchen: Mush (x5 Organics), Cooked Meal (x1 Raw Food).
  8. 8
    Greenhouse: Raw Food (x10 Organics), Raw Food Package x10 (x50 Organics).
  9. 9
    Refinery: Metals and Organics (x5 Enriched Metals).
  10. 10
    Alters: As you progress, you'll gain access to 'Alters' – different versions of yourself. Keep them happy by monitoring their mood, health, and event logs in their respective tabs. Unhappy Alters can become dangerous. Prioritize High-Quality Meals, build the Social Room, play Beerbong, and watch movies together to maintain their happiness.
