My Time at Sandrock: How to Get Old Parts

The My Time at Portia sequel, My Time at Sandrock, is releasing in Early Access on May 26! If you are already familiar with My Time at Portia, you may know that Old Parts were a prevalent building material throughout the game. This trend continues in My Time at Sandrock, with Old Parts used in numerous machines. This guide will provide information on obtaining Old Parts in My Time at Sandrock Early Access.

How to Get Old Parts in My Time at Sandrock

There are three main methods for obtaining Old Parts in My Time at Sandrock:

Dive into any Abandoned or Hazardous Ruins, particularly the Eufaula Salvage Abandoned Ruins.
Recycle Mechanical Scraps for a high chance of receiving Old Parts.
Buy them from the Eufaula Salvage shop.

Eufaula Salvage Shop and the Abandoned Ruins

Early on, you will unlock Eufaula Salvage as a place to farm scrap. You’ll also find elevators bringing you down to the first Abandoned Ruins area unlockable in the game. You’ll have random chances of finding Old Parts, among other items like relics, power stones, engines and metal coils. This is by far the quickest and most efficient way to find them. However, you’ll have to actively mine for them instead of passively obtaining items from recycling or smelting.

Near the Eufaula Salvage site is a small building housing a store. Enter this building to find the NPC Rocky and a cash register to access the shop at the back of the store. You’ll find numerous resources in this shop, including stone, Dinas, Data Discs, and Dregs. Included among the shop’s inventory are Old Parts, which, depending on the Market price percentage, will range from 35 to 45 Gols for each one.

Recycling Method

Whenever you break junk piles in Eufaula Salvage, there’s a chance you’ll uncover Mechanical Scrap. Using a recycler, recycle this scrap for a chance to obtain the following items:

Bearings
Dregs
Old Parts

Since there is a high chance of getting each material, you are not guaranteed to get Old Parts for every scrap you process. However, if you recycle numerous scrap items, you can leave the machine running while going into the ruins or venturing around town. When you return to your Workshop, interact with the Recycler machine to collect your items.
