I did a Thing

Sorry not sorry for low resolution, was the first try with a new programm and I need to share it

[triccina]

"I name you as Lil G, the Bone Eater, protector of Deimos Workshop."

I love giving silly names to small pets xD

[alienducky]

I've been playing My Time at Sandrock for the last... er... I don't know. How long have I been missing from tumblr? <__<;;; Anyway. I've been playing and I finally scraped the money together to get a mount, and it needs a name!

Any suggestions?

Any also! I want to name my pets (the next time the Mysterious Man comes round and I can afford a name tag that is)

The fox was a kickstarter only pet, and the gecko is paid DLC, but honestly it is more than worth it!!!! Seriously, if you're going to play MTaS you really want the gecko! You don't unlock the option to adopt any of the critters in town till quite a few main missions in, and you can send the pets out on daily outings to gather stuff, and having that extra free water every day is a life saver in early game

And mid game. And probably late game too, considering how many machines you end up needing to run at the same time

And bonus of the gecko comes with it's own house, so it doesn't hate you each morning when you wake up because you made it sleep in the dirt...

Ahem. But yeah. Need names. Taking suggestions. Please

MTaS Monster Whisperer DLC, more thoughts on

A question came up on Reddit on whether this DLC is overpowered or not. I don't have a Reddit account anymore but I'm sure others are wondering about the same things.

My answer is simply: not really.

I've played with it and I've seen creators on Youtube play with it. Apart from one person on Discord whose monster friend helped them catch way more fish than intended (devs alerted to fix this) you're not going to get a ton of power from it.

You can take a party of up to 6 of your animal/monster friends into a battle area. Your pets do not actually attack at that often. TBH, they're almost better for distracting your enemy so that you can get a clear shot in than anything else. They will be able to take out an opponent if slowly if they're at a higher level than it is - for example, see this LexyPlaysGames episode that has the canon pets (who have levels in their 40s) attacking a Tripion (level 22). I was able to have a level 15 gecko take out a level 5 rocket rooster (as well as a level 4 wild yakmel who was in the way), but it took a minute or two. My level 9 Builder could have taken out either much faster.

So helpful? Yes. You can have some breathing room just because you have an ally with you. But you're not going to be able to have your allies defeat monsters for you easily. They also wait until you or they are attacked so don't depend on them making the first move.

The new MTaS pet system (plus some talk about the DLC)

I haven't seen anything on this (for obvious reasons; the DLC's been out for less than 24 hours), so I thought I'd toss together a bit on the new leveling system, as well as the catching system if you have the DLC.

(Disclaimer: I am a volunteer beta tester for MTaS; my knowledge is from the beta test, though I don't think anything has radically changed.)

So, the new pet system is separate from the DLC. The DLC allows you to adopt monsters (and like a certain monster-catching game, allows you to catch shinies), but the base game allows you to use the in-game pets (plus the gecko if you have that DLC) to do various things. Yes, you can take Nemo into battle with you if you want.

All pets have levels now. You can raise their levels by dispatching them for tasks, feeding them, or taking them with you on adventures. With the DLC gecko on a new game, I got my pet to level 5 on a water dispatch run and another two levels to level 7 on a gathering run. You now also have the option of sending them to fight (which will presumably let them gain even more levels).

You can take them with you on fights, which will make some of the canon battles easier, assuming you get them up to the appropriate level. Don't be me where I tried to set a level 5 pet against a level 15 robot! Be aware that some animals are better at fighting than others.

You can also buy accessories for them, which vary by pet. I was able to buy them while my pet was in front of me.

(Oh, and mini-review for the DLC: the monster recruiting was fun, I had a yard full of Penskys, I even encountered some shinies! But if monster catching does not appeal, then this may not be the DLC for you, and is certainly not required if you just want to befriend one of the local pets to adventure with you.)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

As for the DLC, this adds to the system by allowing the Builder to recruit monsters. The recruitable monsters all show a pawprint above their heads. (Not all monsters are recruitable.) These monsters can level up the same as pets. You can pick up more pokeballs capture meatballs in a shop to one side of the doors at City Hall. Note that you cannot use capture meatballs to befriend pet-type animals.

(Also, since this came up on the Discord: that fox in the promos is not accessible in the DLC. It's a Kickstarter-only pet. Yes, I would like to have it too, but I couldn't afford the level that you needed to buy into on the Kickstarter at the time.)

The method of capture is as follows:

Take a capture meatball or greater and throw it at the monster, just as if you were aiming a throwing stone. The monster will turn hostile even if it isn't an inherently hostile monster, so don't tackle anything you can't win a fight against. (Yes, I know this from painful first-hand experience trying to befriend a Cock-a-doodle-doom!)

Continue throwing meatballs until you have filled their friendship meter. After that, they'll change into a level 1 monster with a blue label, just like pets, and will stop attacking you.

Be sure you have some sort of pet housing. The DLC comes with an apartment that is way too large for the yard you start with so if you're recruiting early game, be sure to pick up some kind of smaller housing from Heidi.

You can befriend most monsters with some exceptions:

Sorry, no robots. No, you cannot have a pet Disgruntled Secretary.

Monsters that aren't free roaming outside missions are not recruitable. This includes a certain monster from Portia that appears in a main and then a side mission, and one monster that can only be fought as part of a mission.

Boss monsters (not elite monsters like the Alpha Yakmel etc) are not recruitable.

Humanoid monsters, including former animals, are generally not recruitable. This includes Geeglers and two types of monsters that originated in Portia. (Interestingly enough, this does not include the standard Boxing Jacks.)

Getting accessories for captured monsters requires a new type of currency called "pet coins", which you can pick up from a fighting dispatch or just buy from the boutique store in city hall.

Some quick notes about MTaS Multiplayer

Don't have any pics yet, but here's what I've noticed:

Mi-an's area is mostly empty of equipment. Mason is still there (unable to be befriended still) but we have his workshop area and I have not found where he's supposedly building things.

Missing places: Eufala Salvage (fixed in an early co-op mission), the barn on the Wandering Y Ranch, the entire train station and about half the tracks, the bridge over to the Gecko Ruins area (for some reason our character is able to get to Sandrock from there, have no clue why), the apartments where a bunch of characters live, part of the outside of the Blue Moon Saloon (also another early mission), Construction Junction, the barber shop, By The Stairs, Amirah's pottery shop, the museum, the Golden Goose, Fang's place, the bridge between town and the tracks, the water tower, and the shooting range outside the Civil Corps.

The stage outside the Blue Moon exists but currently Matilda is holding her Tuesday-Thursday sermons at the steps of City Hall for some reason.

Missing characters so far: All of Rocky's staff (Pebbles exist so I presume Krystal does too - I just haven't seen her), Amirah, Arvio, Grace, Jensen, Pablo, Pen (admittedly I could have just missed him), and Ernest. On the other hand, Trudy is there from the beginning, as is Banjo and Meerkat. From one of the missions, it looks like we get Nia permanently in Multiplayer (as opposed to single/solo player where she only shows up for 3 days currently).

Main missions take a backseat to co-op missions (I've seen 2, not counting the beginner missions - one where Elsie straight out gives you a fish trap, and one where Trudy hires you on as essentially assistant mayor). You can't take a solo commission until you're level 15. You gain knowledge points the same time at level 5.

I was a bit off on that last one. The missions with the orange label that the singleplayer game uses are solo missions in multiplayer. You get a few solo missions but everything else is co-op until you're player level 15 where you can take solo commissions.

The tutorial is, interestingly, the same stuff more or less as the Portia tutorial - a pickhammer, an axe, and a furnace, interrupted with a tutorial on how to use the commissions board.

The abandoned ruins for Multiplayer is The Breach (just like it was in the previous open multiplayer). You do have to dig it out before you use it. It's possible to enter the Breach with multiple characters or solo, but apparently if you enter the multiplayer version you get tin two levels higher up in the mines than solo, where you get tin at the same level (3) as the solo game. The Breach uses a lot of the same structure as the Eufala Salvage Abandoned Ruins, but mixed up a bit so don't depend on your knowledge of that place for this version.

You can build things buildings without having Construction Junction up and going. (See note below about controllers.)

You gain rep points for talking to people as well as building things. This makes sense. You're also very far behind in the rankings so you'll want to balance talking out with building.

Your ranking for what you can do is based on your workshop level, not your personal level.

You gain access to some things by leveling up your workshop, but for others you'll still need to visit Qi's machine.

I was a bit vague on the above - as you gain workshop levels, you gain the ability to research certain things - so for example, you don't immediately have access to the dew collector blueprint. You still have to use data discs to have Qi research the devices.

Buying blueprints costs workshop points, not gols, at the Commerce Guild. And those blueprints include bronze bars, for some reason. (Interestingly enough, not the feather duster, which is either available from the beginning or just shows up at some point at your workstation.)

Hugo sells the bronze axe and pickaxe, simple weapons, blueprints for weapons (I think they cost gols rather than the workshop points), and for all of us who hate that stupid bronze blade, yes, he sells those.

You can get these neat things that allow you to get NPCs to cooperate on... something. Trudy gives you one free, and the rest can be bought with reputation points at City Hall. ETA: You use these coupons to get these NPCs to give you something related to your specialty for a certain period of time.

Knowledge points are like single player, but you're not restricted to whatever skill you were using. So no matter if you've been fighting monsters, carving out ruins, or doing co-op missions, you can apply the point to anything - you can gain combat skill, for example, for just being good at digging things out. ETA: In the multiplayer version, you gain knowledge points like you did in Portia - 1 per level.

Note to Steam Deck users/controller users: While most of the game works just fine on controller (I've been running it with no problem on Steam Deck), the building placement gives you an error message if you try to use a controller. So instead of trying to place a building on Steam Deck extremely clumsily, you cannot place it at all.

Pathea is aware of the popularity of Sandrock on Steam Deck and is working on controller support for the multiplayer. (Hopefully it'll get fixed on singleplayer too, I have custom controls for this kind of thing but it's still annoying.)

Aloha, Everyone who came out to the Mililani Keiki Fair at rec 7. I think this year was EXTREMELY busy and it was great to see such great vendors, friends, and fans. For me, it was really an incredible event for several reasons: •1) It was great seeing people wear the MTA 50 year anniversary shirts I designed last year with the geckos on them! I've had a few people come up telling me how they love the gecko books I draw. We sold quite a few of the books! Some people won them as prizes this year and were eager to wear them! •2) There were a number of people who remember my college comic strip "The University of Diverse City!" For those who talked to me about it, I gave them a poster showing the 1st strip I did and the same comic if I was was to draw it then 25 years later... •3) A couple of kids browsed through my comics and really enjoyed The Ara-Rangers and Gordon Rider.(that's usually rare - usually they just want the kitty superhero buttons) •4) I sold out of the Street Fighter Pee-Chee folder print ^_^ It definitely was a great conversational piece •5) Got to meet some great people and fellow artists, vendors, and crafters! •6) Probably, the biggest thrill to me was I came across a few people who told me they grew up in Mililani and moved away to the mainland several years ago. I had some visiting from California and someone from Denver Colorado. They all recognized my work, either when they lived here, or from the Local Kine greeting cards and it was wonderful talking to them. ^_^ •Mahalo again, everyone! I really had a great time and really looking forward to next year! https://www.instagram.com/p/B0NiekrD3Pv/?igshid=146uniowmqeu5

[jonjmurakami]

I've had the honor of having my geckos help celebrate Mililani Town Association 50th Anniversary! • Limited edition shirts, tote bags, enamel pins & tumblers will be available for sale 4/21 at Rec 3 & 7 in Mililani! • On the back image of the shirt and the tote bag is a combined image of various landmarks that distinguish Mililani. • ALSO there are 50 geckos (for 50 years) in that design. See if you can find them all! ^_^ • Thanks Jenn Suzuki for everything! #jonjmurakami #geckos #mta #mta50thanniversary #mililani
