Finally downloaded the game and it's great!!
Key new features:
- Spark Energy & Ancient Inventions: Harness mysterious energy to power advanced tools like the Magnetron Array, Levity Generator, and Nimbus Condenser to solve puzzles and clear environmental hazards
- New Modes of Transportation: Explore the island using an airship, dune buggy, and underground mineshaft descents.
- Rival Factions & Bosses: Interact with the corrupted Dwellers and face off against the powerful leader known as The Cogfather.
- New Puzzles and Areas: Restore frozen glaciers, scorching deserts, and toxic swamps while unlocking new locations like the Hospital, School, and Lagoon Guards.
- Advanced Crafting & Gathering: Gather new materials like bauxite ore and lye, and combine components at the crafting hut for unique progression items.
In my first hour, this is what I think are most important:
- Get villagers who are young: So that they can survive in the game longer! Adults are 18 year old and older.
- Get at least 1 man and 2 women: So that we can get them to procreate and still work
- Some good traits: Loves running, working; hate resting
- Collect Spark fragments: Look around the map for glowing orbs; tap them manually to instantly gain
- Train a scientist and gatherer early: Drop a villager onto the research table to start generating tech points, which are required to unlock your first tool upgrades; and a gatherer to get stone/wood because some spaces need higher gathering levels to get the crafting items
