In order to make many of the commissions and items in My Time at Sandrock, players will need to collect and make a wide variety of materials. This includes a metal item called a Bearing which is used in one of the first quests of the game.
Picking Up the Slack in My Time at Sandrock
The third quest that players will come across in Sandrock will be about Yan and Rocky asking them to create a Crane Lift for the Abandoned Mines. In this quest, called Picking Up the Slack, the builder will need to make several materials, including the building material called Thick Rope in My Time at Sandrock and a Bearing.
Bearings are not made in the same way as they were in the previous title My Time at Portia. Instead of smelting these items, players will have to recycle to get them instead.
The Recycler in Sandrock
The second tutorial quest that players will have to complete will be making a Recycler for their My Time at Sandrock Workshop. The builder can then shovel all the scraps they find into the Recycler in order to get new, more useful materials. The Recycler is made from:
- 3 Wood
- 2 Stone Troughs
- 2 Grinding Saws
Once made, the Recycler will open up a lot of new materials to collect.
Recycling Scrap in My Time at Sandrock
In the farming simulation video game called My Time at Sandrock, there are several types of scrap that builders will dig up around their new Workshop.
- Wood Scrap - Look for Wood Scrap piles that look like broken crates. When recycled, these will turn into useful items like wooden sticks, wood, and planks.
- Stone Scrap - Stone scrap can be found in stone piles and stones. Use a pickhammer to harvest it; the Recycler will turn it into Bricks, stones, and more.
- Copper Scrap - Copper Scrap can be dug up with a pickhammer in the trash piles just inside the door of the Abandoned Mines and in the piles labeled "Copper Scrap" nearby. These can be refined into Copper bars, Copper pipes, and other copper items.
- Mechanical Scrap - Mechanical scrap also comes from the trash piles just inside the doors of the Abandoned Mines. These can be refined into mechanical objects like Old Parts.
- Rubber Scrap - Rubber scrap piles look a lot like tires lying around; My Time at Sandrock players will need to upgrade to a Bronze Pickhammer first before harvesting these. Rubber items like tubing can come from these scraps.
- Fine Wood Scrap - Fine wood scrap can be taken from felled trees and fine wood scrap piles. These need a Bronze Axe to harvest. Get fine wood and regular wood from these.
Mechanical scrap can be recycled into Old Parts as well as Bearings. This Mechanical Scrap comes from the Eufaula Salvage Ruins in the area just inside the doorway. Here, players of this real-life simulation game will find piles of random trash; use a pickhammer to break apart all these items into scrap.
