Plan your next My Time at Sandrock session
Our independent guide looks at each major loop in My Time at Sandrock, offering observations that help both newcomers and experienced Builders understand how the systems interact without relying on hidden tricks.
01 / THE GUIDE
Workshop Layout Observation
Place processing machines and storage in different configurations. Notice how a tighter layout reduces walking distance while a spaced layout makes upgrades easier. Adjust after each major build to keep movement efficient.
- Place machines close to storage to reduce travel time.
- Balance selling items with reinvesting in new machines.
02 / THE GUIDE
Crafting vs. Farming Profit
Track the cash earned from selling crafted items compared with crops over several days. Observe which source yields more profit at different stages and allocate effort accordingly.
- Keep a variety of items on hand for different quests.
- Experiment with recipes to discover useful gifts.

03 / THE GUIDE
Ruin Resource Density
Record the amount of material found in short ruin trips versus deeper dives. Compare the risk of longer exploration with the reward of higher‑value relics to decide when to push further.
- Mark ruin entrances on your map before entering.
- Carry extra supplies for longer trips.
04 / THE GUIDE
Combat Style Comparison
Engage the same monster using melee then shooting. Note which approach defeats the enemy more quickly or with fewer hits, helping you choose a style that fits the encounter.
- Try both melee and shooting to see which works best against a monster.
- Upgrade stats that complement your preferred weapon.
05 / THE GUIDE
Co‑op Task Division
Assign each player a primary role—builder, farmer, combatant, or crafter. Observe how specialization affects overall town progress and adjust roles as new content becomes available.
- Assign each player a focus area to avoid duplication.
- Coordinate when entering combat to cover each other's weaknesses.
