About Sunkenland
Sunkenland drops players into a near‑future world where rising seas have submerged most of the planet. You explore drowned skyscrapers, nuclear plants and subway tunnels, scavenging for resources and lost technology while staying alert for hidden dangers. Base construction is central: build a water‑stronghold, ship‑based camp, or island refuge, then defend it from pirate clans and mutants using walls, traps and artillery. The game blends diving, crafting, vehicle upgrades, combat and trade in a cooperative multiplayer setting.
01 / THE GUIDE
Diving Exploration
Players can dive into submerged skyscrapers, nuclear power plants and subway tunnels to gather resources, locate pre‑apocalypse items and discover rare technologies. Building specialized diving devices expands the depth and duration of underwater excursions. The ocean depths host unknown dangers, so careful preparation and equipment upgrades are essential for safe navigation and successful scavenging.
- Upgrade your diving gear before tackling deeper ruins.
- Carry a quick‑release tether to avoid getting lost.
02 / THE GUIDE
Base Building
You can construct a base anywhere—on water, an abandoned ship or an island—using a modular building system. Bases provide crafting stations, storage, farming areas and protection from the environment. Decorations found during exploration let you personalize your enclave, while high walls, barbed wire and traps help keep hostile forces at bay.
- Place workstations near storage for efficient crafting.
- Use decorations to mark safe zones inside your base.
03 / THE GUIDE
Crafting System
Crafting covers tools, weapons, vehicles and even a helicopter, requiring specific workstations and blueprints for complex items. Resources gathered while diving or farming feed into the production chain. The system supports a wide range of items, from melee weapons to explosives, allowing you to tailor your arsenal to the threats you face.
- Collect blueprints early to unlock advanced gear.
- Maintain a stockpile of basic materials for emergency repairs.
04 / THE GUIDE
Vehicle Upgrades
A variety of vehicles—sailboats, jetskis and gyrocopters—can be built and upgraded to speed up exploration and combat. Upgraded vehicles improve speed, durability and cargo capacity, making long trips across the flooded world more manageable. Vehicles also serve as platforms for mounted weapons, letting you engage enemy boats from a distance.
- Prioritize engine upgrades for faster travel.
- Add storage modules before long expeditions.
05 / THE GUIDE
Trading Mechanics
Friendly atolls act as trading hubs where you can exchange items for supplies, weapons, armor and rare finds. The economy operates on a pure item‑for‑item basis, with no universal currency. Strategic trading helps balance scarce resources, allowing you to acquire needed equipment without excessive scavenging.
- Trade surplus items for food to sustain your base.
- Keep rare tech for high‑value exchanges.
