Sending people home

[Werric]

I'm a little confused with the rescue pod situation and exactly what I'm meant to be doing. I've just started getting offers of these and with my little colony running smoothly sending anyone off will have an impact. It's doable but I can see reaching a point where it isn't feasible without dooming those left to death.
Am I supposed to send my survivors off one by one?
Do I wait for a larger one so all can go?
Am I supposed to find every survivor on the planet or just those I start with and any extras I gather up?
Or is there some end game thing I haven't reached yet?

the goal of the game is to get your players off the planet. Whether you found any additional survivors or not. They can only leave one at a time so you need a well rounded player to stay until last. You do not get a victory if your last survivor does not leave the planet safely. (you can have three of the four die as long as the last one leaves the planet you win.

Thanks

you can get a win if the last survivor dies, i had 3 of my 4 get off the planet then Ken died by animal attack and it said victory

The fact that they have to leave one by one is a bit unrealistic to be fair.

That's what I thought when I got my first pod. In fact I waited for the 4th one before I decided to send one person home.

Hey Werric! As others have pointed out, the overall goal of Stranded: Alien Dawn is getting your survivors off-planet via the rescue pods. They can only be sent off one at a time, which will have an impact on how your base is run. That's an intended part of the game's challenge.

When the first pod arrived I was wondering and I waited for the 4th before sending someone. By that time I had a feeling it was one by one but I thought I would check first. It's an interesting twist and I'll be coming up with a plan on who to send last.

Having fun thanks for the great game.

And this is the crux of the game. You need to spend time increasing each players abilities by having them do things they are not good at. Then when it is time to start sending you want to keep the most well rounded for last.
Cooking skill not important for the last person as anyone can cook a basic meal.
I always look at combat, construction, healing (that means Vivian can't stay since she can't heal) as the three most important skills for the last survivor.

@Werric: Thanks for asking this question and for those who responded. Until this post I did not know you were supposed to send off all your people. I did not want to lose their services.

I'm curious as to the max survivor count. Is there like, a hidden achievement to find and send home all of them perhaps? i.e. if you can only have a max of 8-ish (I've only ever seen 8 max so far), can you conceivably send one or two home at a time, all while keeping balloon missions going to find the rest while you fill the roster back up (minus the odd moments one just wanders into camp)?

I think it would be interesting to have a kind of Uber Save Everybody Challenge on that level.

The max survivor count is 8.

I've completed one scenario so far, and I don't know if it is based on difficulty level or some other condition, but when I started sending people to the rescue pods, Sora said that because of her high combat ability, she should stay until last.

Combat and Construction are definitely must-have skills for the last survivor. I did alright with Healing 4. I made sure to have a stockpile of emergency meals (50) in case something went wrong or the final pod took longer than I expected, so Cooking wasn't necessary at all. I kept Yokko for second to last just because, even with Crafting 10, it was taking her forever to make my spare suit of armor and rifle.

I got down to 3 people left and was overwhelmed by attacking beasts -- Needed a better hardening of the people and the base before letting anyone go.. (hard mode)

I would rather just love to colonize that planet XD. I only sent one home for that achievement XD

I didnt realize this was the goal and it kinda ruined the game for me. Just waiting for pods is not as fun as building up a massive camp.
