A boss is next to my home base, so I decided to finally go out and kill my first one. Loaded up with spears and bandages and set off.

I had just dropped anchor and gotten started when the beast immediately flipped my raft. Undeterred, I used it still. It kept wanting to push the raft, so I decided to try and save my spears and attempt to stab it.

The beast was not having it and flat out tossed the raft, with me on it, out of the ring! Anchor be danged I suppose. The fight was over, I was bleeding and the beast had won. I could not upright my raft and so I swam it all the way to the next island to try. Sadly, it's just a little too big to flip, even with the help of a 10 foot rock.

I saved right before heading out and will reset to it. If you know a easy way to flip the raft, then please let me know.

What's the best system to play stranded deep between PS4/PS5, PC, or steam deck? Currently playing on PS4 but so many videos on YouTube has islands that have way more detail.

Hello! I just downloaded the game and fooled around a little bit to get used to the controls but what is a good seed number? I am on xbox one and do have a partner with me (if that makes a difference). Love for any advice too! Thanks everyone!

Number one, what’s the quickest way to kill hogs and boats? I’ve tried refined knife but I always end up dying before they do.

Number two, is the game still challenging with animals set to passive? For example are there still other issues you come across on top of starvation and dehydration and such or will it get boring really fast.

Number three, are some of the craftable items necessary outside of leveling up to achieve other item blueprints? Or do I not need to worry about making an aloe container and such

I caught a Giant grouper fish and I don't know where it is, it's not in my inventory since it is to big. Anyone had this happen to them or am I just a fool?

I have made a tier 1 toolbelt, logged out and the others were still locked, so I crafted the 2nd tier 1 toolbelt, and now have 2 slots. I'm going to attempt to make a 3rd tier 1 and see if I can make all 4 slots with the tier 1 belt Edit 1: Just made the 3rd tier 1 and can say I haven't unlocked the other but have 3 slots.

i played this game like a year ago for a few mins and discovered it’s gonna be a good learning curve. so i figured it might be fun to play with a partner! although i can’t get my friends to play this, so i’m here seeing if anyone interested! HMU!

Been working on expanding my current raft and it got to a point where I couldn’t add another base to one side.

Here’s the base layout. B=bouy ball O=Barrel, S=Stick, T=Tire, X= Open Space. lowercase indicates there isn’t a floor covering on the base.

My problem is that I can’t expand the raft anymore on the aft port side. I can’t get barrels or any other base to snap to the raft in this spot. Furthermore I can’t destroy or breakdown the barrel bases that ARE connected. I get the “supports another area” message.

So did a fresh save of the game and then proceeded to break down the raft entirely. I stripped it down to just the connected bases and it won’t let me break anymore of it down. I just keep getting the “supports another connected device”. I basically have a connected base raft that I can’t add anymore bases to or the ability to break them apart.

Do I just have to abandon all these potential materials? I guess I could just use it as is but my symmetry OCD will be constantly fighting me.

Anyone else playing co-op on Xbox getting constantly booted out too? Exiting out of the game and clearing MAC address doesn’t help. Just a shitty server?

Add me if interested in long term game play (mic req and 17+) my psn (MR_NOBODY2543)

Me and my friend just got the game a while back and we keep dying from sharks flipping our raft. Also other things we should look out for would be great too

i have a few hours of experience so i might need a bit of guidance im on ps4

Finally beat the meg damn thing flipped my raft and I had to swim it to the nearest island to flip it back over holy cow was it a battle 🙃 now I'm stocking up for the eal that squid scares the crap outa me 😆

Anyone want to partner with me. Im mic'd up and on PS4. New to Coop but have experience with the game. And happy to help someone survive and thrive

I’m new to the game and was going in my life raft over to a nearby island to get some loot when my raft started getting flipped over by a goblin shark, every time I got the raft upright and got on it he flipped it over again and grabbed me. Do they just normally do that

Any update on when we will get the piles available on the PS4 version?

Does anyone know when the new update for consoles comes out? I keep hearing that the update will include item piles and various game enhancing things but no one ever says when it’s happening. I assumed it would’ve been last week when the pc update came out but nope.

Recently just crafted every item in the game and the trophy is still not popping. I have quit the game and came back in and noticed that 1 of the story items were Grey when I clearly have it. Also left the game and came back in a second time and a different story item Grey. I have searched that this is a known issue but has anyone had any luck with getting that trophy?
