The Desert Raiders — The Alters Walkthrough

Day 1: Make It To The Base
Follow the linear path on the beach, guided by red Emergency Flares, to find your ship. A short scene will reveal the base's location. Rush to the base to avoid radiation. Interact with the elevator to enter the ship, then head to the Communication Room to contact Earth. After a scene, visit the Captain's Cabin to read old logs and learn basic mechanics. End the day by interacting with the bed in the Captain's Cabin (press 'E').

Day 2: Collecting Resources to Survive
Upon waking, focus on collecting resources. Exit the base via the Airlock. Locate and gather 'Metals' from bright orange glowing rocks. Find 'Organics' indicated by blue smoke. To access higher areas, build a Workshop from the Base Building Console in the Command Center. Craft a Scanner in the Workshop. Use the Scanner outside to find the best mining spots for Organics. Place a Mining Outpost and connect it to the base using Pylons. Return to the Communication Room to contact Earth again. Build a 'Womb' module as prompted, which will result in acquiring a Sheep. Speak to Earth one last time, then sleep in the Captain's Cabin.

Day 3: Gather the New Resources To Leave
Focus on gathering Organics from your Mining Outpost. You can fast travel to the outpost from the Airlock. Monitor your Organics count in the main menu (press 'TAB'). Return to the base before 22:00 to avoid the nightly Radiation Storm. Sleep in the Captain's Cabin.

Day 4: Move On To The Next Act
In the Command Center, build a Kitchen. Craft at least 6 'Mush' meals. Ensure you have enough Organics to fill the tank (check progress at the Command Room panel). Once ready, use the console in the Command Center to move the base to the next chapter. Explore the current area thoroughly before leaving, as you cannot return.
