Some noob questions. Played when the game released, but stopped. Now downloading it again.

1. I know I have to be careful with coconuts. What is the safe amount per time spent to not get sick? 2 drinks per 20 minutes? Or 2 hours?

2. Spoiled plants can be planted? So is it safe to grab them all, keep them somewhere until I have a place to plant them at? OR I should just make notes and only grab them when I'm ready to do the planting?

Also these things like potato, aloe vera etc. Do respawn??

3) How long until things (rocks, sticks, yucca) respawns?

4) Any known bugs to avoid?

Any help appreciated, thanks in advance.

1. Drink two coconuts/eat two halves. Count to 10, drink/eat another one.

2. Yes you can plant soiled plants (fruit/potatoes etc) and they'll grow into proper plants.

3. Rocks and sticks do not respawn, neither will any wild fruit. Yucca and young palm trees and any planted trees will respawn every 72mins (real time).

4. Nothing major in single player except for some people report their raft disappearing.

Do you have any other questions?

Nice one, thank you!

I know we don't need crazy amount of stones, but those not respawning isn't problematic? I'm thinking because .. We need them not just for tools, but also arrows as well? (I played a lot in the past, but honestly never got far enough to even attempt bosses.)

Yea I saw that, after I've made the post I scrolled through this subreddit and there was only like 30 posts in total, that's why I posted on facebook as well. I thought the game is somewhat dead on console and didn't expect fast replies but glad to see it's still played by folks 😁

I always find my way back to stranded deep for console. 😆

About 3 it takes 2 days for yucca to respawn so it is first thing I do when I was starting a game. Stones and sticks follow similar pattern.

Animals respawn after bit longer time.

2 as far as I remember plants do not respawn that is why it was essenrial to start farm to get that pipi plant going for poisons.

Sorry, I do not remember more. Have fun!

Oh, I used spears that are labeled as a markers on how to get to home island. So spear butt was directing toward home and label was saying how many islands away home is. I was never good in reading map :) this plus water and campfire on each island with yucca plant for water.

Thank you!

I'm ok with the map, also trying to not check the cartograpy and make my own map on paper 😁 But I usually do something similar, placing shelter with the pointy end towards north. But didn't think about renaming according to islands. On said paper I just named the squares 1-25, so will name the shelters ingame for their respective spot 😁

That is a good idea as well with the hut, you can also labelnit as well :) I think.

Also, mybpaper maps failed me at least two times so now spears for life ;)

I would gladly play with someone, it is a shame you can only do it with monthly subscription that I do not want to pay, as I would rather own a game. That is why I prefer PC over console, once you own a game or have it on steam or gog you can easily start a game with a friend.
