Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector's Far Spindle Station: A Comprehensive Guide
The Far Spindle is the second location you'll explore in Citizen Sleeper 2: Starward Vector, offering a significant step up in complexity from the Hexport. Expect numerous contracts, new crew members, and numerous Drives to boost your skills. This guide covers everything, including unlocking each location to streamline your job search.
Unlocking Far Spindle Locations
The Far Spindle features four key areas: Pinnacle Docks, Spindle Core, Bless's Bay (a timed event), and The Underhang. Three are locations; Bless's Bay acts as a timer.
Pinnacle Docks
Located at the Far Spindle's top, the Pinnacle Docks offer initial jobs. Each two points in the "Pinnacle Explorer" objective unlocks a new area: The Springtide (first two points), Signal Station (next two), and Beltborn Venture (final two).
The Springtide activates after earning two "Pinnacle Venture" points. A timer begins; strategically use your dice (aim for four high rolls) to prevent water loss. Completing the objective unlocks the "Secure The Springtide" Drive, a skill point, and a new contract with Malik.
