Upgrades are very important, especially when it comes to the research table. In this guide, I will go over how to find Advanced Parts in Sunkenland.
Sunkenland, despite its early access status, offers an exciting post-apocalyptic survival experience, where players are in the near future when water covers most of the Earth.
You will have to explore sunken cities, scavenge for resources and valuable technologies, and finally build a base to make your home in this ruined world.
You will have to be careful though because pirates clans and mutants, will try to ruin your hard work, but with advanced parts, you will be able to research many different things to make your life easier.

Sunkenland: Searching for Advanced Parts
Advanced parts can be found inside the red scavenge chests.
Before going in with the locations to search for, you should know this really important tip.
Most containers, when you press take all or just take everything they have inside piece by piece, they get destroyed. Players have found though, that if you leave at least one item inside from those that it already has, and then save and log out.
The next time you log back in the game, the container will have all the original items in full again, ignoring the fact that you have previously looted the container.
It may be an exploit that might eventually be patched out, but if you find yourself in need, it is an easy way to quickly get everything you need in big quantities.
Now let’s go over the locations, you should go out and search for advanced parts.
Among the non-hostile underwater areas, you can find 2 loot containers for advanced parts in the Amusement Park, Power Plant, and Refinery.
You can also find more on the more dangerous Middle Tier Islands. All of these underwater locations have a bunch of sharks, so shoot them from a safe distance from the water surface first.
Sunkenland: Uses for Advanced Parts
After exploring, and facing the dangers of the wild you managed to find the advanced parts.
Thought, you are unsure of what to use them on, now that you have them.
The most important thing you can use advanced parts on is to upgrade your research table.
