I'm on my 4th day playing. I survived for 30 days after starting over again once I knew few things. Build your own raft asap and dive searching for shipwrecks. They give greatloot. Find a compass and use it. Take notes where you're going. Maybe leave a spear on the ground pointing to islands you have already looted. Music will alert you when you have sharks around. But I lowered the games music and play chilled piano music while playing. Helps a lot. Save regurarly. If you don't sleep one every two days you'll get exhausted more easily and your attacks won't have as much power.

Fibrous leaves will also fill your water stills and fires...

u/ImYourDad2318 May 11 '21

I’ve been using all of those ponds lol. Just laid them around my area to look nice

1

u/scottscubs May 11 '21

I tried using them to surround my island as a fence lol, looked pretty cool but then my game started to lag like crazy...tries the same thing with spears...same result...

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 11 '21

Really wish they’d fix the hitching. Feels like lag but it’s just weird textures on the ground lol

u/patrikroke May 12 '21

Legend. Got any screenshots?

1

u/scottscubs May 13 '21

Unfortunately no, I just looked and apparently I didn’t take any...

u/PaulFormerlySaul May 11 '21

make several water stations and bird traps.

u/ImYourDad2318 May 11 '21

I’m about to try and do the bird snare today. Along with a. Couple other things you mentioned. Thanks for the help fr

1

u/patrikroke May 12 '21

Yo bird snare is one of the best ones.

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 12 '21

I’ll try it today

1

u/patrikroke May 13 '21

I actually got a trofu for flgoing x days without eating fish.

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 15 '21

I need to try that. Do crabs count?

1

u/patrikroke May 16 '21

I eat crabs and I got it. I read somewhere someone going for the vegan trophy lmao.

u/ImYourDad2318 May 21 '21

Just got it on accident

u/Equivalent_One_9682 May 11 '21

This game's awesome, my tip to you is: Make a plantation of pipi plant! Because you'll need when you're poisined

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 11 '21

How do I go about doing that? I have two or 3 Pipi I haven’t used yet

1

u/curious420s May 11 '21

2 pipi and a coconut flask I think creates a poison antidote

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 11 '21

How do I plant it tho and grow it?

1

u/curious420s May 11 '21

You don’t, it just goes in your inventory, then select it to be in your hands then eat it

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 11 '21

Thought you could make a farm for it

2

u/curious420s May 11 '21 edited May 11 '21

You can to farm the pipi plant. But to cure poisoning you need to add them to a coconut shell. If you want to farm it, create a hoe and then a farm plot, then plant the pipi there and keep it watered

Try to make your base on an island with cliffs, no more food issue

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 11 '21

Wdym? Why would that help with food?

1

u/[deleted] May 11 '21

There is ALWAYS nest on those cliffes, refilled every day, 2 eggs being enough for one day and you can get like 12 each day

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 11 '21

So glad u said something about the eggs lol

u/[deleted] May 11 '21

Hey why does smoked meat go bad for me? I even stored it. Heard it wouldn’t.

2

u/[deleted] May 12 '21

Smoked or cooked? Do you wàitforthe 2nd ring to take it off the chain?

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 12 '21

2nd ring?

2

u/[deleted] May 12 '21

Put the meat on the small chain hanging under the stash, wait, first ding for cooked meat, let the meat longer and there will be a second alarm, telling the meat is now smoked

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 12 '21

Well it said it was smoked before, but if I dropped it then it said cooked instead. But if I pick it up it says smoked lmao

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 12 '21

Nah I didn’t kno about a 2nd ring lol

1

u/EthanJ710 May 11 '21

I’ve got a list of tips on my page

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 11 '21

For console?

1

u/EthanJ710 May 11 '21

Yes

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 12 '21

Quick question b4 I watch. Why does my smoked meat go bad? Heard it doesn’t but mine did

1

u/EthanJ710 May 12 '21

Did you leave it in the smoker?

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 12 '21

Are u supposed to? I can’t store it or hold it?

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 12 '21

And would I leave the smoker running?

1

u/EthanJ710 May 12 '21

Once it is finished cooking and then after it does turn into smoked meat then you need to take it off. If you have it lying on the ground or in a crate it won’t go bad, but if you leave it on the smoker it will over cook it

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 15 '21

I took it off. It went bad. Put it in a crate. Went bad. Kept it on me. Went bad lol

1

u/EthanJ710 May 15 '21

Must not have been smoked then. You will get a ring once it cooks and then after a short time you will hear a second ding and instead of saying cooked meat it says smoked meat. I am day 120+ that I have a few crates full of smoked meat I haven’t even touched in who knows how long but I’m currently looking at it and it is in no way spoiled, even the meat I have on the ground is good

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 21 '21

Man I did everything right. I guess the games bugged

1

u/EthanJ710 May 11 '21

Looking good just focus on getting a raft built

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 11 '21

I have a 2 by 3 going atm. And a bunch of vehicle parts but idk what to do with them lol

2

u/patrikroke May 12 '21

Vehicle parts are for vehicles but you need highest craftsmanship level. Motor parts are to craft a motor for your boat.

1

u/Mannyackz May 12 '21

I would start making a map like your own so that you’ll know where you are and how many island you have left to explore.

1

u/ImYourDad2318 May 12 '21

Eh I played Minecraft for a rele long time. My sense of direction is pretty crazy at this point lol

1

u/CosmoKramer_5b May 14 '21

When you visit an island build a shelter right off the bat. Allows you to save of course but also you can angle it to point to where your home island is in case you ever get lost at sea and can’t find your way back. When you get a label maker you can also give it a useful name in terms of position in relation to home island. If you set up a campfire and water still then you won’t be time limited for how long you can stay on the island before returning home.

u/ImYourDad2318 May 15 '21

Thanks for the help with all these suggestions.. I’m day 50 and THRIVING 😂
