Tip when building wood plank brick do not build 100% instead do 80% so it fills in this way if you need to knock it down you will get 100% materials back
I’m a relatively new player but I’ve invested a lot of time into the game and have watched nearly every tips video on TH-cam. One thing I’ve never seen mentioned as a pro-tip that changed my game entirely once I figured it out was to ALWAYS chop the plants that grant fibrous leaves, especially yucca even if you’re too busy to deal with gathering them or don’t need the material at the moment. Chopped fiber leaves never expire on the ground but by chopping the plant you restart their growth process again. I usually chop every fiber on my island 3 or 4 times before I need to collect more fiber, and by then I have days worth on the ground to collect all at once at every node. This alone enabled me to never seek fiber on a different island ever again and it takes no time to chop all the nodes when they spawn. The same goes for growing yucca in a plot
I've been playing for about 27 hrs and I've figured out damn near most these tips except for putting all the food right on the fire, thanks for the tips!!!
Navigation tip I have yet to hear for new and old players. Save on the island you are on, exit to main menu, check the cartography map, the red highlighted island, and there will only be one highlighted island, is the one you are currently saved on. No matter how lost you think you are, as long as you know which island is your home island, you will never be lost.
Great tips! The fire trick where you lay the meat on the fire was actually the way you had to cook meat when the game first came out. It didn't let you put the meat on a stick at the beginning.
@@GranddaddyGamer build the smoker too, smokes 5 pieces of meat while cooking the extra you've stuck on top of the fire, store the smoked 5, then use the cooked meat on the smoker and it does it way quicker! Saves fire wood.
@@hAYleyRYanXOxOX thanks for the tip man came out on switch last week and had to get it love survival games. Beat the forest, both subnauticas, just beat green hell before I bought this one
Love these tips :) Two I didn't know about :) One I love doing is upgrading the tool belt to full, then putting my most used tools in it, then it frees up inventory space and you can your tools faster :)
My tip is have sails on each side of your raft going in the opposite direction. When I go to a new island I head straight there and leave my raft pointing straight back to the island I came from. Then I don't even need to turn my raft around when I leave. I can just pull it straight out and open the other sails. The rudder will work no matter which way you're going.
I learned that one on day one by mistake, but then he said the word "eggs".... I have 220+ hours in Stranded Deep. I had no earthly idea there were eggs!
Another tip. You can actually stand on your raft, and then look down at it, grab it and throw it. This helps greatly with moving your raft from side to side. Be warned, it’s touchy and you will lose crates on board.
Use the cartographer to create an island with plenty of resources. Place it, farm it, leave it, save, exit and then remove the custom island so it reverts back to basic island. Never run out of anything.
The way I figure it is if you're just going for long-term survival and huge base building you're going to farm all the islands eventually no matter what so you're going to have to reset islands anyway. So what I did is I replaced my starter island with a custom island that isn't OP and completely loaded but looks really nice and I wanted to build my base on it. Now when I form all my islands I'll save on my home base go into the cartographer and reset all the other islands into new procedurally-generated ones. And then I could keep surviving and thriving and building and having fun
Don't cut down the smallest palm tree. Bats will always land on it and you can kill them with just a crude spear and make a pile, unskinned, next to the fire so meat won't spoil until you need it.
Thanks for the cooking tip. 😎 I was lucky enough to accidentally learn about fibrous leaves for fires withing my first few hours. That and recycling tools when you can are extremely valuable. I keep 4 refined axes, and 4 wooden hammers on rotation. I'll often use sharp tool to harvest leaves too, before I make tools or weapons from it.
What I found out that if you crouch close to the "big rock formations" you can see what is inside and I found out there was all the fruits and some potatoes were inside the "moutains" and I could interact with them as also stone deposits, palm trees and small pine trees and got lot of sticks hangnig around too. Hope it helps the others players who got frustrated as am I in this kind of situations! Congrats on the channel and the really amazing videos!
I have two for you. 1: Use the lanterns for island you have visited, at night when you travel (no storm) you can avoid those islands that you already harvested. 2: instead of dragging items like tires, barrels, bobs. instead learn to hold them then swiftly turn your jerk your camera and let go of the item, if you time it right you can chuck items. I do this for trash items. Help make transporting raft resources faster.
Pro Tip Amendment, DON'T use fibrous leaves to refill your fire (at least not until you have a steady income of them). Use fibrous leaves for your water still. Use Palm Fronds to refill your fires. It takes 8 Fibrous leaves to fully refill a fire but only about 5 palm fronds to fill it. On the flip side, it takes 4 of either to fill the water still, so you get more bang for your buck by using the "cheaper" fibrous leaves in the water still and the more powerful palm fronds on the fire. Related tip, don't break up your palm bunches until you need to use fronds; you can carry 4 bunches (of 5 leaves) in each inventory slot but once you break them you can only carry 4 leaves per slot - that's 20 fronds vs 4 in a slot!
Yup but fibrous leaves respawn, palm Fronds do not. This is why it takes more for a fire. Fronds and sticks do not respawn. Ofc if you have the resources use what you would like. I do this all the time. However when resources are tight I maintain my stance fibrous leaves are renewable.
@@GranddaddyGamer True, but my view on the whole thing is that Fronds are next to useless; once you have your shelter and any water stills you plan to build they just take up space since nothing else uses them so I recommend using them as fire fuel from then on
This is something figured out by saving during reloading saves for loot in boxes. If ya want ya stations (water still, smoker, etc), build all ya stations in a good radius, and then start putting floor foundations down, but the kool part is, they go under all ya stations without problems. If ya having a problem, it's because there's a rock, lashing, or something next to that station that's stopping ya. Once the foundation is outlined, just build ya home. If things aren't where ya want them, just break the foundations (all foundation materials will be there as well). One other thing not to do with this one, but rain water can be collected. I use 2 water stills just for my crops, and some of my stills in my home get filled too because the rain comes through ya home. So, ya can collect rain water!
Hello Granddaddy! I really enjoy your videos since you covered up my favorites Stranded Deep and Subnautica, anyway. I want to share a "tip" and I dont know if its well known among players, I just moved from a small island to a big one and get really upset that there's no fruits on it, offcourse I bring some from the previous island but anyway:
how do you know when your player is tired? I tend to sleep every night or every other night. I haven't seen anything on the watch, an audio queue or my player slowing down to indicate they actually tire? That cooking tip is.... on fire
Thank you to you and everyone else that posted... it makes a difference to the frustrated newer player. More enjoyable game experience for them means a more relaxed time in game.
Came up with a good tip when you're ready to Go to the aircraft Carrier bring everything you need to end the game do not stock up and come back. I did that in screwed my whole game reset everything lost 2 of the main parts.
on the axe and plank station it looks like u don't get the hammer back if u don't get the hammer back it is not worth it waste of time . on crafting from the ground works good for rocks that go into bushes or stuff but go drop all the rocks on u then go back and make the tools from rocks this way by dropping the rocks on u, u can find the right spot to get the rocks u lost .then if u need a coconut that is high off the ground don't climb the tree u mite fall and break ur leg so use a spear to get the coconut. u mite say i am a master at this game i need to video my house i built by far the best i have seen on the net even has a copter pad and garage for it with double doors then off the deck i make a walk way with farm plots next to it with 8 plots . then i build 24 water stills to make it all run of rain water . i have all the crafting inside the house with water still clay and brick station, fuel still, smoker cloth station,leather station, and a barrel stove .i have it all in my kitchen area . with the fishing pole i been able to catch everything but a shark and marlin with it it is good to do at night to pass the dark . the containers work good to build with i like the double doors they have . my end game is building the house mostly out of clay and metal then on the deck railing i use stick half walls the deck is planks front of house is clay walls clay roof . it takes a long time to get all the clay for it and a lot of shark killing

Thank you it DOES make a difference
Tip when building wood plank brick do not build 100% instead do 80% so it fills in this way if you need to knock it down you will get 100% materials back
Another tip everyone eventually will be poisoned do not have antidote immediately instead go catch longish for shark repellent and look for clay

I’m much less scared of getting lost thank you
@@michaelm1053 I can definitely relate to that fear. Haha.
When building a raft tip throw crude spears in ground to make a platform props up your raft to connect peices
That works?
Yeah try it cos it can float away
I set mine up on a few crates on land while I'm working on it, like a boat stand in real life. Makes life super easy.
I have a veteran tip myself. Break the palm bunch first before you break the trunks. Saves you like and extra 1 or 2 hits and also saves durability.
As in detach it from the tree dont actually make the palm fronds yet
Great tips! The fire trick where you lay the meat on the fire was actually the way you had to cook meat when the game first came out. It didn't let you put the meat on a stick at the beginning.

The dragging the meat onto the camp fire is a game changer!! Brilliant

One small trip to google later, they are console exclusive and I play on PC. 😂

Isn't that cheating
Well yes, but actually no. Its only cheating if youre doing a vanilla run or a speedrun

Take lashing with you and just turn into a raft base. Take all 3 back with you them break it up. Get everything back.
The easiest way to find clay is to use the gyrocopter you can spot many from the air
Thats a great idea actually

after i deforestated all my tree to burn my campfire i find this tip of using fibrous wow amazed
Completely off topic but you sound like the fella from Skooldzone channels dad. Thanks for the tips
Omg putting the food on the fire 🥲

Your fire wot hurt you go stand on top of your fire hold meat and drop it will go way faster than dragging it
You can reuse your coconut flask from antidote
yes sir you can
You can re use an empty flask and craft a consumable
Spam stack cooking. Go catch about 12 fish & cook them all ! Ya can eat tons & not get sick and you'll level cooking way fast.
Thanks for the tips!
Make a smoker and smoke 5 meat at the same time. Lasts longer and saves fire wood.
Is there an unlimited source of wood for the fire?
how do you know when your player is tired? I tend to sleep every night or every other night. I haven't seen anything on the watch, an audio queue or my player slowing down to indicate they actually tire? That cooking tip is.... on fire
Youll see under status it says "tired" and you will not br able to run
@@GranddaddyGamer thank you. I must not have tired him out yet. I'll go an extra day without sleep !
Holy crap I'm gonna cook sooo many eggs tonight!!! 🤯
Lol
I found that if I hold the yellow coconut and make a flask I keep the coconut and gain a flask lol
when your construction level reach the maximum your not one stick short
Any other games like this you'd recommend that don't involve some form of supernatural entities? (Aliens, zombies, etc) 🤣☠️
Try green hell
