Ultimate Guide to Repairing Broken Dice in Citizen Sleeper 2

by

In the sequel of Citizen Sleeper, dice hold significant importance, similar to their role in the original game. However, a novel aspect that might bewilder novices is the “dice break” function. This feature takes a die out of your inventory and renders it unusable until it’s fixed. In high-stakes missions where each roll matters significantly, this can be a considerable disadvantage, as you must face obstacles with fewer opportunities to reroll.

Fixing busted dice in Citizen Sleeper 2 is actually pretty straightforward, and this guide has got you covered with all the essential info on how it works!

What Breaks Dice in Citizen Sleeper 2

In Citizen Sleeper 2’s tabletop game, a fresh “Stress” feature is presented, which penalizes hasty choices. When faced with tense circumstances, rolling specific numbers on dice will progressively decrease their Health Points (HP), eventually causing them to malfunction. Each die begins with three Health Points, and when they are depleted, the die can no longer be used.

In the game ‘Citizen Sleeper 2’, the likelihood of dice malfunctions varies according to the chosen difficulty level. In the Easy (Safe) setting, malfunctioning dice are marked as glitched items within your inventory. On the other hand, in Risky and Dangerous modes, if a die is completely depleted, its slot will be eliminated from the game instead.

Fixing the damaged die is what will help you regain the lost slot, not simply ending the cycle.

How to Repair Broken Dice

To fix a damaged die, you’ll either need to use Scrap or Rare Components at the Workshop in the Rig. You can access this workshop once you reach Far Spindle, which is the second area of the game, and have a conversation with Bliss. After fulfilling these conditions, you can repair broken dice using the Rig’s menu.

Remember that the Rig’s Workshop is capable of fixing entirely shattered dice, but it doesn’t have the ability to increase the hit points (HP) of a die until it becomes damaged beyond use.

Types of Dice Repairs

  • Improvised Dice Repair: This method is ideal for beginner Citizen Sleeper 2 players because it allows you to fix broken dice using the more common Scrap Components. However, the trade-off is that repaired dice may gain a glitch. Glitched dice have an 80% chance of failure, no matter their pips.
  • Dice Repair: With this option, Bliss can fully restore a die without any risk of glitches. The downside is that it requires Rare Components, which are much harder to find.

How to Get Dice Repair Material

To fix a dice, you’ll require two types of items: Common Spares and Scarce Elements. As their titles indicate, the first one is more easily available and can be purchased, whereas the second one is quite rare and hard to find.

  • Scrap Component: Can be purchased with Citizen Sleeper 2’s money (Cryo) from dealers, such as the Scrapper Ship dealer at Far Spindle.
  • Rare Component: Obtained through Contracts, Drives, or by exploring different areas.

How to Prevent Dice from Breaking

It’s tough to steer clear of challenges entirely, as they are integral aspects of your experience. Yet, there are some measures you can implement to lessen the odds:

1. Be prepared: Knowing what to expect can help you navigate potential obstacles more effectively.
2. Take it slow: Rushing through things may lead to mistakes, so take your time and proceed cautiously.
3. Seek advice: Don’t hesitate to ask for help or guidance when faced with a difficult situation.
4. Learn from past experiences: Reflect on past challenges you’ve overcome and apply those lessons to future situations.
5. Stay adaptable: Be ready to change your approach if the situation requires it.

  • Keep stress levels low: Dice are more likely to break when stress is high. Make sure your crew gets enough rest, has sufficient food and supplies, and avoids risky (high-danger) rolls whenever possible.
  • Watch out for forbidden pips: Citizen Sleeper 2 punishes certain rolls based on difficulty. For instance, in Dangerous mode, rolling a “1” at stress level one causes damage. To minimize dice breaks, be mindful of these punishing rolls and avoid them when possible.
