This guide will detail all of the Stranded: Alien Dawn Events we've encountered thus far and what you can expect to deal with when they happen to you.
How Stranded: Alien Dawn Events Work
Stranded: Alien Dawn Events are temporary situations that have some kind of effect on the world -- and they aren't always good.
Events can include illnesses, animal attacks, a simple heatwave, or a planetary disaster. You should always put your mouse over the Event tooltip when it pops up on the right side of the screen -- you may find that you'll need to get your Survivors to safety right away!
