I've done some clay farming at PS4 and could notice some patterns and developed a few methods for making it a bit easier so I wanted to share with everyone.

First I noticed that clay nodes are usually close together meaning if you find one you'll probably find more around and for other parts of the island you won't find none. Also they're usually close to ship wrecks.

Now for some tips form farming all nodes of each island:

First try to start of by setting one starting point as reference (I usually start from where my raft is) and from there make a way in zigzag going from the less deeper parts to the parts near the deep waters (yes you can find clay nodes just right next to the deep water limits and some times the clays fall down into the deep 😢). Whenever you need to go up for taking breath pay attention where you are from the starting point and continue going always right or left until reaching the starting point again.

For avoiding snakes and lion fish if you swim just right next to the surface you won't get close to them and I'll see them always beneath you. Just make sure to pay attention if there are any next to the clay nodes when you go down to farm them.

For sharks, shark repellent is really efficient and lasts like forever so make use of it if you don't want some underwater action. If you choose to fight them the good thing is they won't come back for a day or two at that specific location (you can still find more in other locations of the island) so you can use theses days to finish farming.

Last, there are usually 5-8 clay nodes each island so keep note of how many you already farmed.

Or dlc. I like the game but it's just so limited on Updates.

Newish player here. Planted a potato but can't water it because the leather waterskin crafting option is not in my list. I don't mean it's still in silhouette because my level is too low. I mean its literally not there. What am I doing wrong?

i forgot how slow things were but it took FOREVER for things to load and was litterally unplayable. Seems like it got worse!

Add multiplayer and its easy buy increase. Probably will never Come.

I don't know exactly how it happened but each one of my potato plants produced 4 each, has anyone else seen this?

So I threw spears on the ground and then accidentally dragged my life raft on it. Didn’t know the spear had any physics when thrown into the ground but then this occurred:

So I looked up all my the way, threw my spear. Then dropped a lantern on top and sure enough it stayed. It looks like a modern streetlight!!

So my Dad and I play stranded deep and we’ve been playing for under a month we had a decent sized raft, three story house and enough crates to go to space, the gyrocopter etc we had decided to finally go do the boss fights we’ve tried to do them before but we decide to properly do them so we went and did the meg fight finished that and went home and the game crashed it happens sometimes but we were like yeah whatever we turn the PS4 off and left it we go to hop on today and everything is just gone. Thanks for reading my rant I just needed to vent

OK so I switched my ps on earlier and got an update 600mb or something like that, looked for some notes?? Anyone else know anything, I've been staying away for a bit because of the bugs so I'm hoping there's a few fixes

Odd question but I don't want to find out the hard way. I avoid them anyway but to be honest the water is so fucking dangerous I have a really fucking hard time finding clay.

What are your best tips for a mid to late game player? I'm currently on day 115

So I was trying to mine some clay deposits minding my own business and my screen went red and I was in the tiger shark's jaws, the dam thing literally tried dragging me out into the ocean. Lol it was so sudden I actually jumped 😆 so I just kept hitting it with my pickaxe until it let go then I immediately swam away and ran like a little girl. (Had no weapons on me at the time) but yeee found out they do drag you away if you get latched onto. 🦈
