The Industrial Wasteland — The Alters Walkthrough

Day 1: Make It To The Base
Follow emergency flares to find your crashed ship. Learn basic movement and resource extraction mechanics. Reach the base and interact with the elevator. Head to the Communication Room to contact Earth, then visit the Captain's Cabin to read logs and learn game mechanics. End the day by interacting with the bed.

Day 2: Collecting Resources to Survive
Exit the base through the Airlock. Gather Metals from orange glowing rocks and locate Organics indicated by blue smoke. Return to the base and use the Base Building Console in the Command Center to build a Workshop. Craft a Scanner in the Workshop. Exit the base again and find cargo pods containing supplies and a Multitool. Locate the Rapidium deposit near a colorful Spire. Use Scanners to find the best Organics mining spot and build a Mining Outpost, connecting it to the base with Pylons. Return to the Communication Room to contact Earth and receive the task to build a "Womb" module. Build the Womb and interact with it to obtain a Sheep. Speak to Earth one last time and go to sleep in the Captain's Cabin.

Day 3: Gather the New Resources To Leave
Fast travel to the Mining Outpost and gather Organics until the tank is full. Return to the base and go to sleep. Be mindful of the Radiation Storm that begins at 22:00.

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 proceed. If ready, interact with the console in the Command Center to move the base to the next chapter. Explore the area thoroughly before leaving, as you cannot return.
