Mothman: Removed the tabber for easier browsing, and added a complete list of known landmark crafting locations

Crafting comes in two varieties, [[Trampler]] crafting and [[:Category:Landmarks|Landmark]] crafting.

=== Trampler Crafting ===
Trampler crafting is achieved at crafting modules equipped on your [[Trampler]]. The first tier of crafting is achieved in the [[S&H Compact Armaments Workshop]] or other 1x1 crafters while the second tier is in the 1x2 [[S&H Armaments Workshop]], or the crafting machines found in Forts. Both tiers generally include ammunition and upgrades for existing player weapons and armour.

=== Landmark Crafting ===
Landmark crafting happens at [[:Category:Landmarks|Landmarks]], crafters can be found across many [[:Category:Landmarks|Landmarks]], and are all operated in the same way, within the building the crafter is found in, there will be a [[Reactor]] that you must power with a [[NZ Mk2 Fuel Rod]] before crafting, once the [[Reactor]] is turned on, you can power on the crafter and insert the required crafting materials before initiating the crafting process.

Mothman: Running it back to see if the tech tree will actually render at a lower res

Research is the main mechanic in Sand: Raiders of Sophie players unlock new [[:Category:Chassis|Trampler Chassis]], [[:Category:Trampler Components|Components]], and [[Gear and Equipment|Items]] that can be purchased within the Storage menu. Each research is unlocked with a certain amount of [[Crowns]], and (other than the first column) amounts of [[Raw Materials]]/[[Carryable Objects|Carriable Objects]].

[[File:Tech Tree.png|frameless|933x933px]]

The research tree is grouped into three trees dictating the general theme of the research, however there are overlapping chains (such as the "hole" chassis variations)

=== Godlewiski's Expedition ===
[[File:Godlewski Icon.png|thumb|Godlewiski's Expedition artwork]]
<blockquote>Tadeusz Godlewiski is the dean of the Department of Technical Chemistry at the Imperial-Royal Polytechnic School in Lviv. When rumors emerged about the incredible phenomena and previously unseen occurrences, Godlewiski immediately organized an expedition to Sophie, funded by [[Raw Aurogen Crystal|aurogen]] magnates, in an attempt to unravel the mysteries and formulate new theories.

The main group is stationed at the research site, analysing the collected samples. There is also a ground team, but unwilling to risk his own people, Godlewski enlists scavengers to work in hazardous areas. In return, he provides them with the best technological devices that no one else can offer.</blockquote>Godlewiski's Expedition is mainly focused on technology, including new types of chassis and aurogen Motor-Reactors, and the ability to purchase Energy Rods in the storage shop.

=== Kaiser's Friends ===
[[File:Kaiser's Icon.png|thumb|Kaiser's Friends artwork]]
<blockquote>Any complex system has its flaws, and a system as intricate as the Austro-Hungarian bureaucracy is riddled with loopholes that sharp-minded individuals can turn into thriving businesses.

Dmytro Melnyk, a native Stanislau - alongside his men, he runs his operations with precision and stability. When sending people to the surface, he strives to both look after them and keep them in line, ensuring that a few reckless fools don't disrupt business.

Thanks to the constant demand for Sophie's exotic treasures in Vienna, everyone stays well-funded. And when asked how they managed to set up smuggling operations at the station, he simply winks and says, "We are friends of the Kaiser"</blockquote>Kaiser's Friends is mainly focused on cargo, upgrades of the chassis unlocked in Godlewiski's Expedition by adding holes, and the ability to purchase [[:Category:Mounted Weapons|Mounted Weapons]] in the storage shop.

=== K.K. Landwehr ===
[[File:KK Landwehr Artwork.png|thumb|K.K. Landwehr artwork]]
<blockquote>Oberstieutnant Otto von Ebner.

He commands a battalion of the Austrian Army. Part of the contingent is stationed at the base, but most soldiers are scattered throughout the sector, primarily performing policing duties

The biggest share of smuggling flows through them and exists with their permission. In return, they demand order and often encourage gathers to hunt down those they deem to have crossed the line. Do them a favor, and you might gain access to weapons and armour that even the regular army could only dream of.</blockquote>K.K. Landwehr is mainly focused on armour, and armoured/framed versions of other compartments. It also includes the ability to purchase many [[Player Weapons]] in the storage shop.

Mothman: Added where to generally find them.

Mounted weapons come in three types: [[40mm Autocannon]], [[80mm Naval Cannon]], and [[70mm Shotgun Cannon]] and can be placed on weapon mount points located on tramplers and at certain [[:Category:Landmarks|Landmarks]]. They come in four tiers: Rusty, Worn, Pristine, and Experimental with each tier having better accuracy, reload speed, and fire rate than the previous one. Experimental tier weapons can only be obtained from the [[Dreadnaught]] and each have a special modification that significantly improves their effectiveness.

Each can be acquired from spawning naturally at shipwrecks, places of interest, looted from other players, or purchased from the storage shop after unlocking the related [[research]] in the Kaiser's Friends tree

80mm Naval Cannon

2026-06-30T12:58:17Z

Mothman: Added values for rusty/worn/pristine, and the main description from the game.

[[File:80mm Turret mounted at a fort.png|thumb|An 80mm mounted at a [[Fort]]]]<blockquote>''A naval cannon stripped from Sophie's military fleet tramplers by scavengers. Covers great distances but is quite hard to operate due to its slow rate of fire.''

''A complete set of spare parts and tools for field assembly and disassembly.'' </blockquote>The 80mm Naval Cannon is a [[:Category:Mounted Weapons|Mounted Weapon]] that can be installed on to a [[Trampler|Trampler's]] weapon mount points, or a static mount.

The cannon is very accurate and excels at long and medium range combat, making it well suited to sniping specific components on another trampler. Good aim is required to land shots at longer ranges however as the shells will aggressively arc down due to gravity after being fired.

The cannon can only fire a single [[80mm Shell]] at a time and must be reloaded after every shot. The time needed to reload the cannon is rather long, limiting the weapon's rate of fire behind it's reload speed.

Higher tier cannons benefit from an improved reload speed over their lower tier counterparts, which in turn cause them to deal higher DPS though a higher rate of fire.

A naval cannon, retrofitted in the Neue Zukunft laboratories with an electromagnetic accelerator. It consumes a huge amount of energy, but allows you to forget about ballistics - even standard 80 mm shells receive such a high initial velocity that the cannon literally shoots "on target" at any distance.

Projectile has no travel time and is not effected by gravity or wind resistance

It can be found in [[Weapon Crate|Weapon Crates]].
