My Time at Sandrock News

[h3]The third My Time at Sandrock Livestream will be on May 7th, 2021, 5pm PDT / May 8th, 1am UTC+1.[/h3]

Some of you may know, Sandrock is found in the middle of the Eufaula Desert. As such, most of the environment in the game is in a desert biome. It is located next to a beautiful oasis where the ‘gold rush’ happened. But many prospecting companies came and overexploited the town. Over time, the trees around Sandrock were all cut down, and Martle’s Oasis slowly dried up. As a builder, it’s a very important responsibility to help reverse the ecological damage and make the oasis town livable again! Sandrock doesn’t have as many resources as Portia, so it’s necessary for builders to understand resource management and how your machines function. You will be able to better save resources and increase efficiency!
Our resource management tutorial will be showcased in our next Livestream on May 7th.

We have recently seen more activity from scammers who send out emails claiming to be from Pathea games on behalf of My Time at Sandrock.

They have been using different email addresses and their goal is to hack influencer Youtube accounts by sending over offers in PDF files. These files have viruses in them through which they might be able to get access to your Youtube account information, after which the scammers will take over your account and use it for themselves to promote other things.

Only emails ending with @pathea.net are legit, and this is how you can know that you are really in touch with our studio.

We feel bad for those of you who have been affected by the Scammers and we have reported the incidents to the authorities, and hopefully something good will come out of it.

In the meanwhile we are happy to be in touch with influencers who would like to cover My Time at Sandrock and we are open to various types of collaborations.
If you are interested, feel free to send an email to Kiki at: [email protected]

Thanks for all your support and understanding!

Today is a day where awareness for our planet’s health and ecosystems is raised.



In the My Time universe, the world had already been brought to ruin and much culture and technological advancement were lost. Thanks to Peach using a powerful machine to dispel the deep clouds and bringing back the sun, the world has restored itself to a point where nature has overtaken pre-Calamity cities, and civilization can carefully rebuild. Now, those in the small city-state of Sandrock must attempt to not only survive, but thrive in the hot Eufaula Desert, where water is at a premium and sandstorms threaten to destroy the town.

This is not unlike the struggles of some civilizations throughout real-world history. In the fall of 2020, we undertook a research trip to the Gobi Desert to get to the nitty-gritty of what life in the desert is like. We dug around and spoke with the locals, learning about the spreading of the deserts and how this process is threatening the surrounding ecosystems and nearby communities. We also learned that through innovation and hard work the deserts they can be cultivated to become fertile land once again. But as with life in Sandrock, this cannot happen without water.

Water. Necessary for life and necessary for keeping your machines cool. Without it, crops wither away and your workshop machines cannot function. However, less than 1% of the real world’s water is fresh water and Sandrock has severely limited access to fresh water, meaning that water conservation in both worlds is key to thriving.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/1084600/_/?utm_source=China&utm_medium=test&utm_campaign=other

Through Sandrock, we want to spread awareness of the importance of saving water. Limiting water usage, such as turning the faucet off while washing your hands, taking shorter showers, growing native, plants and lawns with lower water consumption and eating less meat, can go a long way towards conserving water in real life, which means communities will have more water for when and where it’s truly needed.

We are happy to share with you the Sandrock resource management tutorial in our next livestreaming on [h3]May 7th, 5pm, PDT/May 7th, 8pm, EDT/ May 8th, 1am, UTC+1[/h3]

Also, we’re having another giveaway. Follow us on Instagram and comment “save water” on this post and you might become a lucky winner of 2x steam gift cards!

We only have one earth, so let’s make a difference together!

Don't forget to Wishlist Sandrock to have "Kids Grow up to at least the primary school age“

We added a lot of new things into Sandrock!

The key updates we’ve done in the past couple of weeks:

Farming functions

New fish can be caught when in sandfishing

New facial texture optimization

Added the Day of Memories

Annnnnd, an old friend from Portia visits Sandrock, you'll find out by yourselves!ːsteammockingː

For more, please refer the changelist at the bottom.

We've been preparing for the EA launch for a long time, so once the rating certification is issued, we can press the button and boom! Sandrock will then be purchasable and playable on Steam Early Access.

For now, beta players can play the update’s content a bit ahead of time, and we may ask for their feedback on the experience. Their help will be a key part of our development and improve Sandrock to be even better.

However, because of the many changes in this update, existing save files will probably become unusable after the update. Sorry about that!

In other news, we’re preparing another livestream at the end of this month to show the resource management in Sandrock. More details on that later!
