Paradox Interactive officially picked up Haemimont Games, the folks behind Stranded: Alien Dawn... (and the NEW Survival Mars Relaunched) and honestly, I’m ecstatic. I love this game, I love Paradox’s track record with management titles, and I figured this was the perfect excuse to finally start helping new players get settled on their alien nightmare planets! In this episode: I start from scratch. Walking through the game modes, showing off the survivor roster, and picking my go-to beginner team (with reasoning, because yes, I overthink even this). Then we get right into setup: priorities, schedules, storage, research, production, and even early-game happiness preservation. If you’re new to Stranded, this should give you a clean launchpad without spoiling the discovery. My channel features uploads every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. I’ll keep improving the series as we go, featuring honest, efficient tip delivery. Think Jimmy Johns, in long-form content!
