InMy Time At Sandrock, you’ll spend a lot of time exploring the world and searching for materials you need to craft new tools, build machines, and fix things around the city of Sandrock. As the citizens of Sandrock request more difficult commissions, you’ll need to find rarer items and new resources to fulfill them.
One item you’ll need for a lot of machine diagrams is Plastic and its various products, but after the Day of Calamity, humanity lost the ability to make it for themselves. If you need it for a machine or a build, you’ll need to brave the desert and hunt for junk.
