That was a close one Mr. Potato. It does look like you have enough water sources to make it, but you probably don't want to cook your poor character. Glad you didn't go down the hole.
Don’t really want to risk it until the character feels confident doing the climb 😆
When exploring the eastern Highlands cave system make sure to bring a lot of kindling, wood and sticks because you need to explore multiple places and going back isn't always an option
Love this series, hope it never ends! PZ content is nice but it's just something about watching you play this game that hits just the right spot.
I think its why I have enjoyed playing this so much, its a survival game that although challenging, is also pretty chill. Its a nice change of pace from PZ
Always try to leave the bit of the copper vein because if you use dynamite on the remains you get a bunch of copper. No matter how much durability(? Not sure if that's the correct word) is left you always get the same amount (something like 2-5. Not sure of the exact number)
Thanks for another awesome video. Congrats on the well and getting the puddle in the dark cave! Yay!
You've GOT to start using salt water from the bay for recipes like mortar and white washed walls though.
Also congrats on getting all that copper!
The title of this episode had me worried.
Its advisable to spend more time at the Bay/beach during the dry season and keep washing in the sea. Also take some containers of salt water back to your mud hut to wash in.
Good luck with the rest of the dry season, once you've survived it then it should be plain sailing after that 🙂
Yep, didn’t realise salt water can be used in so many receipts! Next 2 episodes are already recorded unfortunately, but will mention it and try to use more salt water from now on!
You can wet dirt with salt water, you just need a bowl or other container. Dragging the sea card doesn't work.
To stay cool in hot weather, I would suggest keeping your clothes on, and washing (with salt water) whenever you get hot. Having clothes on when you wash will wet the clothing, and the wet clothes will keep you cool longer. Staying cool will also slow down the rate at which you get thirsty, too. You can even carry a couple of coconut shells of salt water with you when you go exploring, to cool down with along the way.
You can also save some hand damage by using the shovel to dig the collapsed tunnel (drag the shovel onto the tunnel card).
There are a 💩-ton of stones where in the eastern Highlands (from digging the collapsed tunnel)
Some tips related to water for future playtroughs:
- For clay pot cooler, recipes and washing use ONLY salt water. (I keep one vase of it in the hut)
- Build salt bed or two on the bay and fill them fully dragging them onto the sea, after it evaporates ~20% you are left with ton of clean water to drink. (3% per sip)
- if you focus on collecting a LOT of mud bricks in first 30 days you can have alembic already done during the storm season to not worry about the water
- Cistern is VERY useful for water storage during dry season, think of it as never evaporating reservoir
- If it comes to the worst, You can drink from 2 coconuts per day to not get diarrhea and still survive
Also begin cooking the coconut meat, it will give you less diarrhea and more satiation
When dragging coconut meat onto the empty shell you will create coconut milk which you can boil in campfire to get oil
Salt beds turn drinkable if any rain falls, pretty sure it doesn't just turn drinkable after x% of saltwater evaporates
And the add another tip, in the mangrove you can find nippa palms, cut a nippa palm and add a clay vase into it to get a full vase of Nippa sap which you can drink in an emergency, if it's not in an airtight container it turns into wine tho, and later vinegar
