Picking Up the Slack is a quest within the game My Time at Sandrock.
Picking Up the Slack Guide
Construct Crane Lift
This is your first biggest job in this game and I think that it’s probably a little less intense than the first major job you had to do in Portia, which is a slight relief. But with a big job requires a lot of materials in order to get things progressing, so let’s see what we need.
What do you need?
Mats:
- 24 Plant Fiber
- 32 Stone
- 15 Wood
Crafted:
- 4 Bearing
- 8 Bricks
- 5 Copper Stick
- 6 Thick Rope
- 5 Wooden Stick
Total:
- 4 Bearing
- 8 Bricks
- 5 Copper Stick
- 24 Plant Fiber
- 32 Stone
- 6 Thick Rope
- 15 Wood
- 5 Wooden Stick
First off, in order to craft your Bricks you’ll want to build a Furnace first. When you see your workshop at the beginning, there’s a broken one on the land, so thank Mason for that and then question how he got anything done.
In order to craft the Furnace, you’ll need the following:
- 4 Quartz
- 12 Stone –> 2 Stone Trough
- 6 Wood –> 2 Wooden Stick
Once that’s done, you’re good to go with Bricks, although another way of getting them would be by placing Stone Scrap into the Recycler.
Keep in mind that you’ll also be wanting to go to the Eufaula Salvage Co. to salvage scrap every day in order to get materials. Especially since you have free entry for a week. Some of the crap you obtain can be placed in the Recycler in order to obtain the Bearings you need, as well as the Copper Sticks and Wooden Sticks.
Just don’t get hung up on the Recycler too much because you can craft these items as well.
Wooden Sticks and Thick Rope can be acquired via the Worktable.
The Thick Rope recipe needs to be acquired from the shop in the Commerce Guild where you can buy it. Take note of the inflation price. If it’s in the green, it’s best to buy it, but if it’s in the red, then you might want to wait, depending on how much you’re willing to pay.
Install the Crane Lift
Once you’ve gathered all the materials and constructed it, take the item to the Eufaula Salvage Co. where there’s an area to install it.
