Descent To The Underdust

Database Entry[]

An elevator that can descend deep beneath the Dust layer.

We suspect that the rarest resources and archives of past research may lie there. While many technologies have been lost over time and may no longer be recovered, we still have hope. The dust will make it difficult to breath. The lower your go, the denser and more poisonous it becomes. You will need advanced suit filters to be able to explore the Underdust. You may find these type of filters in the ruins of old laboratories. There is a high chance you will die while exploring. Please be careful.

Structure[]

Landing Pad[]

Like the Greenhouse, the landing pad is the lowest accessible point on the tower. However, unlike other locations that have dedicated landing pads the landing pad here is improvised and simply a mass of shipping containers, some of which are one strong wind away from falling off.

Lift Structure[]

After heading inside from the landing pad, you'll find yourself inside the lift structure. Once inside, you have a chance to find the Junk Shop POI to your left. If you continue along the rubble and pillars, you'll find the Lift as well as a table with an unpowered laptop. In order to access the lift, you'll need to scan the Access Terminal and fabricate an Access Module to use as a keycard.

Past the lift and the table, you have a chance to find the Cage POI.

Lift[]

After powering the lift, you can head inside and find several Old Storage Boxes, an [[Organic Printer]], and the lift controls. Neither the boxes nor the printer can be picked up, but they can be scanned.

Activating the lift controls will take you down to the Underdust.

Ring[]

The Ring is the highest point of this location, featuring a giant loop atop the Lift Structure.

Points of Interest[]

Vantage Point is a point of interest that can spawn at the Lift to the Underdust location, next to the entrance of the Lift structure. This POI features a lookout station with a telescope aimed at the sky.

Still Nothing[]

Each day I look up at the sky. I count the starts, hoping to see one more than usual. They must be there. I choose to believe in it. Not everything is lost. One day, I'll see something that could be a space station orbiting Earth. I'll get proof that we still have a reason to have hope. That's all I need.


Junk Shop is a point of interest that can spawn at the Lift to the Underdust location, inside the Lift structure on the left when entering. This POI features a stand full of various signs and junk, which can include Artifacts like the Pirate Landship and Cosmic Cat.

True Value[]

People bring me things they call useless, and I prove them wrong. There is a purpose for everything. Sometimes all that's needed is the right person - they'll see such junk and call it treasure. All I do is connect people and the correct items, for a small fee. And the rest of the shit, I just tinker with.


Cage is a point of interest that can spawn near the back of the Lift to the Underdust location, next to the elevator. This POI features a cage for one prisoner, made of steel and wood.

Theft of Food[]

The convict stole food. The settlement court was understanding and did not sentence him to go Below. But they couldn't leave him just like that, without punishment, because people need to have an example. Sentenced to three days without food.

Relocation of Scaffolding[]

The convict was sentenced for his idiocy, first and foremost. Second in importance were the consequences of it: the idea of stealing scaffolding from lower neighbors to enlarge and secure his own apartment. With that, he would disrupt the structure of the entire tower, putting the lives of the rest of the residents at risk. Sentenced to two weeks. He will calm down or he will go Below.
