Young Suns Beginner Guide: A Calm First-Session Loop

Open the two starting doors, reach Wednesday and turn one batch of recovered materials into a working mop.

Your next move

Collect three sunpax for Basil’s door, unlock Gus’s wrench and reach Klos. Follow the ship departure to Wednesday, then use the Born to mop workshop as one complete collect, repair and return loop.

Plan this task
  1. Basil: collect the power items
  2. Spend them on the unpowered door
  3. Gus: unlock the wrench and open the second door
  4. Finish at the Archivist
  5. Give one batch of salvage a use
  6. Footage and controls

Basil: collect the power items

Speak to Basil in the opening corridor. The tracked objective changes to gathering three sunpax. Search the nearby scrap bins: hold the rummage action, then pick up the objects released onto the floor. Rummaging and collecting are separate actions.

Spend them on the unpowered door

When the counter reaches three, approach the small panel beside the closed door. Its requirement is three sunpax. Use the repair interaction; the door opens and the task advances to finding the scrapmeet and talking to Gus. The observed reward includes a depleted sunpax, so this is a completed power action rather than a need to collect a fourth fresh one.

Gus: unlock the wrench and open the second door

Continue into the workshop area and talk to Gus at the long yellow workbench. Finish the task dialogue until the wrench unlock appears. Hold the Tools control to equip it. At the jammed door, follow the hold-and-push repair prompt until the door opens. This is a wrench interaction, distinct from the earlier sunpax panel.

Finish at the Archivist

After the door opens, follow the new Archivist objective through the workshop to Klos, seated at the orange desk. Talk to Klos to continue toward the ship handoff. The next sequence is covered in the first departure route.

Give one batch of salvage a use

After the ship setup and Wednesday arrival, track Born to mop in Classifieds and speak to Duck or Hermosa. Keep the broken mop for this workshop. Collect the loose Textile ends after rummaging near the craft area, then bring your materials back to the red workbench beside the yellow-rimmed bin.

Select the Mop recipe when you have three Textile ends, three Scrap metal and one broken mop. Complete the craft and check for Tool unlocked: Mop. The repair walkthrough shows the bench and recipe, so you can check the required amounts before gathering more.

Equip the mop, hold the mop-up action over three spills, then return to the workshop contact. Confirm the Born to mop completion tick in Classifieds. This finishes one material-use loop; leave the Gewgaw scan job as a specific next-session target instead of accepting several new jobs now. Once Wednesday’s introduction is complete, you can also unlock multiplayer co-op.
