The rescue mode is actually a situational survival mode. Players need to survive for a specified length of time in each level before they can be rescued. During this period, they will encounter different events. Players need to solve the resulting problems according to the situation to maintain the normal operation of the escape cabin. .

The following are some basic knowledge that everyone should know first:

• Players will unlock a new system every time they complete a level, which is the system that should be used in the next level. As long as it is unlocked, the parts in the system will be installed for you from the beginning, so if you see some systems that are completely If there are no parts, it means that they are not needed and there is no need to put the parts back deliberately.
• The distress signal (timer) will be rescued when it reaches 0 seconds. Please keep it on because it will not run in the background when it is turned off, so don’t turn it off to save power. If it is not running, you are wasting your life. time.
• The events that occur in each level are fixed, which means that the solutions are all the same. As long as you are properly prepared and know what to do after trying it several times, it will be much easier to deal with it.
• Under normal circumstances, the power production of the reactor changes according to the power consumption. Simply put, it produces as much power as it uses. However, this increase and decrease process is not instantaneous and takes time. Therefore, if multiple systems are turned on at the same time, there will be changes due to production. The battery is insufficient and switches to battery power.
• The air pressure system does not need to be left on for a long time, but if the cabin door valve is opened, there is a hole in the cabin, or a gravity singularity event occurs, it must be opened to maintain the air pressure.
• There is a list of error codes made by other players in the guide. It is recommended to open it and use it. Although the design of checking the operation manual is quite interesting, it is also very troublesome, especially in the absence of gravity. You don’t know where the manual has flown, or you can copy down the common error codes by hand. .
• The same error code may be caused by different reasons and needs to be investigated one by one. (You need the above error code list more)
• Oxygen and carbon dioxide can be changed more frequently, preferably between events, mainly to avoid having to deal with these tasks when dealing with events.
• It is a habit to turn off the system power before replacing parts, even if you are not replacing power-related parts, because the aim of this game is very strict, and electric shocks from picking up the wrong parts often happen.
• The worse the part, the darker the appearance.
• When using the fire extinguishing bucket, do not press and hold, but keep clicking E, so as to extinguish the fire more efficiently.
• Press F on the filter element to clean it.

There are five events that may occur. The “all systems” mentioned below do not include distress signals, which must remain operational.

Appearance:

• There is dust and small meteorites outside the cabin
• There will be a sound of collision of sand and stones in the cabin.

This incident is the most difficult to solve perfectly, because the destruction of parts is random. If you really don’t want to be affected, you have to get close to dismantling all the parts. However, in rescue mode, it is only recommended to dismantle all batteries and unnecessary systems. That’s good, because if you are unlucky and the battery breaks, repairs will cost a lot. After the incident is over, replace the battery.

Appearance:

• It’s completely white outside and the glass is frozen

The Ice Nebula event will cause the temperature inside the cabin to drop and the reactor’s power production to drop significantly, making various systems begin to rely on battery power. During the event, only keep the reactor and O2 + CO2 system running to save battery usage. If the temperature drops to a dangerous level, turn on the thermostatic system, and then turn it off after the temperature is restored. At the extreme end, you can even turn off the O2 + CO2 system and turn it back on when there is a lack of oxygen.

After this incident, remember to take the battery you just used up to quickly charge it.

Appearance:

• A black hole seen outside the cabin
• The cabin has a squeezing sound effect
• The screen has a curved effect
• All system drawers slide out

Appearance:

• A hot red star is seen outside the cabin

A red giant event will cause the temperature inside the cabin to rise rapidly. When the event begins, shut down the reactor as soon as possible and keep only the thermostatic system and O2 + CO2 system running on batteries (emergency lighting can be turned on if necessary) to slow down the temperature rise in the cabin and save battery usage. If extra power saving is required, you can toggle the O2 + CO2 systems on and off to preserve power. Just make sure that the breathability of the air in the cabin stays in the green zone.

If necessary, you can take out the liquid nitrogen in the thermostat system to deflate it or open the hatch to cool down, but you should pay attention to changes in the amount of oxygen. However, as long as you follow the above method, you should not need to go to this step.

After this incident, remember to take the battery you just used up to quickly charge it.

Appearance:

• Outside the cabin is blue, with lightning and thunder

This incident is quite troublesome, so everyone needs to be quick with the following actions.

The electromagnetic nebula event will drain batteries connected to main circuits and destroy the power supply, fuse, or power connectors of most systems. To prevent this, unplug all power connectors as soon as possible. make sure that the systems are off while pulling the connectors. If there is not enough time, at least unplug the important systems (O2 + CO2, backup lighting, SOS beacon, gravity, and reactor). Make sure that you have batteries in the O2 and CO2. Leave the gravity, reactor, and SOS beacon until last. The large power connectors are dark and can easily get lost. Wait until the blue mist clears out from outside your windows, turning on the reactor and gravity. turn off the O2 + CO2 system and then install the power connectors back before turning them on again. After that, restore the beacon and thermostat systems. The fault tolerance rate in the rescue mode is relatively high. If a system is broken due to the storm, priority will be given to replacing the circuit plugs and fuses of the reactor and necessary systems and checking the batteries. In hardcore mode, this event lasts longer, and you may have to wait for the oxygen to return to normal before dismantling it again.

First of all, the parts storage cabinet in rescue mode will randomly generate some parts every time you play, but it is not worth spending time to check which parts are there. Follow the steps below to get it, and you can cope with most situations. Below the gas circulation system is a pile of storage cabinets. The following is a common route for all levels. The left and right directions of the room are from the escape cabin to the warehouse. (There will be a few missing parts in the leftmost room of the first level, but because the first level is really too easy, it won’t matter if you take less.) Collection suggestions and routes:

´

• There is no need to hold various switch buttons, buzzers, screens, data cables, and processors. There is a low probability of damage. Even if it is damaged, it will have little impact and can be exchanged between systems.
• Take the two small plugs on your right rear when you are spawned and drop them in the escape pod.
• Go to the leftmost room. There is a pile of parts on the left. Take two small fuses, a battery, and a big black plug (there is a small one sandwiched in the middle, don’t take it by mistake). Take the four parts in two parts.
• Go to the leftmost room, go in, and get a small transformer and battery on the right.
• Go to the second room on the left, go in, and get two air pumps on the left.
• Go to the second room on the left, go into the second rack on the left, and get two filter elements.
• Go to the room directly opposite and take the small transformer on the left and the large fuse on the lower right.
• When you return to the cabin, press the launch button on the left.

In total, I took two small plugs, small fuses, batteries, small transformers, air pumps, and filters, and one large fuse and one large plug. If you don’t have enough, practice it a few more times. After you set off, you can put them in the storage cabinet for easy access later, and then just drop the broken ones on the floor.

1. Asteroid field

• Use the operation manual to check error codes and repair the system

• Battery

1. Ice nebula
2. Asteroid field

• Replace the gas cylinder (replace only after use)
• Replace the batteries (remove the batteries of the pressure system and emergency lighting at the beginning of the escape, plus the two held by the field, a total of four, and then replace them with other systems)
• Clean filter element (press F)

• Gas circulation system

1. electromagnetic nebula
2. asteroid field
3. ice nebula

• Utilize gas circulation system to replenish gas
• To deal with electromagnetic nebula events, please refer to the solution above. Otherwise, you will need to repair a large number of damaged plugs and fuses
• Use a leak-filling gun to repair holes

• battery fast charger

This fast charger consumes a lot of electricity (don’t ask why a battery charger can consume the power generated by the entire nuclear reactor). When charging, the power produced by the entire reactor will be far lower than the power consumption, causing each system to switch to battery consumption, but fortunately, the entire charging process is also super fast. It takes less than 10 seconds to charge a battery, so don’t worry too much.

However, recharging the battery will also cause the temperature of the reactor to rise sharply, so don’t charge too many batteries at one time. Three batteries should be fully charged to the limit. Wait until the temperature drops before charging again. During this period, ensure the normal operation of the thermostatic system.

1. Ice Nebula (long-lasting)
2. asteroid field
3. electromagnetic nebula
4. asteroid field

• Use fast charging to recharge the battery (if you follow the above event solution, you should be able to pass the test without recharging the battery, but it is recommended that you also try this system)

• main computer

The main computer has the following functions:

• Show which system is running
• Each system no longer uses error codes, but directly tells you what parts are broken.
• Preview the next event

To be honest, the above functions are of little use in the rescue mode and are more needed in the hardcore mode, so you can simply choose not to use them and use the parts inside as spares or to feed the subsequent repair system.

1. Asteroid field
2. Gravitational singularity
3. Electromagnetic nebula
4. Ice nebula

• Predicting events using the main computer
• Handle gravitational singularity events to ensure normal operation of the pressure system and complete cleanliness of the filter element

• Maintenance system

The repair system requires the use of materials to repair parts. Players can convert unnecessary or semi-broken parts into materials. After conversion, the parts will be completely damaged. Although they can be repaired, they require a large amount of materials, so they are equivalent to scrapping. In addition, the more materials required for repair, the longer it will take.

1. Red giant
2. Asteroid field
3. Electromagnetic nebula
4. Ice nebula
5. Asteroid field
6. Gravitational singularity
7. Asteroid field

• Handling Red giant events
• Use the repair system to repair parts, but if you follow the steps above, you shouldn’t need to repair parts, but you can try it if you are interested.

Congratulations on completing all the levels, go home~ Now you can challenge the hardcore mode (no time limit, ranking) and start the real game.

If you look at the bed, a Wilson ball is on the left side. Drop it into the basketball hoop to unlock the achievement.

When I first came into contact with this game, I was actually a little disappointed. The main reason was that the in-game teaching and explanations were insufficient, making it confusing for novice players. If you don’t have the patience to study the mechanisms and system operations, you will definitely give up early. However, As long as you get through this painful period, you will be able to familiarize yourself with handling each system and dealing with all events. After that, you can feel the real challenge of this game by playing hardcore mode (survival mode without a time limit). I hope this tutorial can help you. Reduce confusion when playing and enjoy the fun early. As long as you are familiar with the above operation suggestions, it is not difficult to survive for more than an hour.
