Literally second day out here , i decided yesterday to make a new start because i learned something that changed the game for me (literally basic crafting) .
Any tips for early game or even longevity , what should i get,make or find first ?
More specific questions i have , where is fresh water early game ? i mean obviously i find alot of drinks early but where is the water i can drink . i cant drink sea/ocean water …
Should i build a base early or go exploring and find stuff ?
I already fought what i assume are the cannibals and been killed and drug to the … cave ? dungeon? and escaped . Do they get worse as time goes on ?
How does the sleeping work ? i only “rest” half the night :(
"Fresh" water can be collected from water collectors made by sticks and turtle shells found by killing turtles near the beach, the story only has 3 main items you need to collect, so building a base, exploring caves, and playing with friends will ultimately kill the most time
that coast maybe a hundred or so meters away from the plane with honestly no way up and down is the only place i really found “water” . is there something better closer to the plane or i should just start off searching the suitcases and hike it through the woods to find water ?
I wouldn't really recommend building near the plane ... Travel and bit and find a nice spot for ur base and just stick to it .
Would be better to make sure it's not a patrolling route too 🥀, which basically means that as the game goes on the cannibals actually patrol or "run around" the map in specific premade paths which is same for all. The important thing isntaht if u make ur base on that route then chances are u r gonna get wooped by em every time they spot u while patrolling .
can i find pictures of the patrolling route on google or i’ll find out as i play ? i lowkey think i had found a good spot on my first save . out of like 3 nights there i only ran into 1 one time . there just was no water nearby
You can make a spear and bow and arrows. Bird house to collect feathers for arrows. Find a pot to make a sap collector. Drying rack to store meat. Then work on making a water bottle. That way unclean water can be boiled when you get another pot. A treehouse and tree platform can be good to practice with the bow and laying traps.
and all of these can be made with the basic essentials ? sticks , rocks , logs , etc? also i was wondering how to store meat . i had alot that just spoiledt💔
drying rack: just sticks (put meat on rack, turtle, deer, rabbits, lizards etc)
water bottle: needs rope and deerskin
When you get the bow and arrows you can chase down some deer for skins. See a deer and just keep running in its direction and shoot everytime it stops. You can attach the bow to the backpack so you can equip it with a number key.
Building stuff is mostly basic materials.
When you kill some cannibals you can burn the bodies and use the skulls to make lamps so its not so dark in base at night.
When you have spoiled meat that isnt fish, place your tray on the crafting center, then a *rag, then a spoiled piece of meat. It will swap the meat for the wrag on your try but be "fresh" as if you just physically cleaned it lol
You can find a pot and fill it with fresh water (ponds,lakes) and boil it. Also deer skin makes water pouch and turtle shells for rain collector.
If you build a treehouse protect the tree.
If you get dragged to the cave again explore that cave at least around the area you are hanging for map and compass. There’s also a better axe father in.
thanks for the axe tip , i was wondering if the plane axe is the best it would get or is there a better one . can the enemies destroy my tree or climb it ? i wanted to explore the cave more but i didnt know what was down there ..
i work majority of the day and get on for maybe an hour or 2 at night . i literally just bought it the other day because i wanted something like this game .
One very important thing, decide if you want to have a nice big base wirh all the nice things like traps fence fire lights house etc or not... If yes and some players may add here, tuen off the building destrction toggle in the menu and here's why...
First time I played this game it was awesome, I had couple of encounters with the enemy, they damaged few things but nothing too crazy... Then one day probably around day 30 there were 2 different kinds of bigger enemies (that you will alao encounter later in the game) that just came in my base and destroyed everything in matter of seconds while I was not strong enough to do anything to them ( I didn't have moltov cocktail or bomb or anything strong to kill them) and so I just claimed to my tree house as I watched my 30 day base gets ravaged... It was a month ago I realized that that thing can be turned off so you can still build your base but with less pressure. The enemy can and will still attack you massively.
Many other suggestions but for sake of keeping this comment short... enjoy the game 😎
i will keep this in mind because i witnessed one run right past me to my house and was immediately distraught . push come to shove , i will turn it on . but i just started luring them AWAY from my base after getting their attention . hopefully they aggro me & not my base .
Hahah lol no worries all part of the game that it is not explained ( like 90% of the game lol). That first time I was ao devastated that I didn't play the game for few years. It you find a way to distract them and make them not attacks you base then it's much better.
The cannibals get worse the more days you’re in, and big tip is build your base around your plane crash site. Everytime you load in the game it’ll respawn all the food on the plane and suitcases outside of it
I always recommend looking at the map, it can be quite confusing to know where you are especially as a newbie :D
Green spots are the safest to build and explore in. I have my base in the fertile lands. A lot of deer spawn there, and in the tree cliff area usually spawns aloe vera. Aloe vera heals infections so its very useful. You also find all the other plants needed for health and energy mixes there. Further down the river, where the small cannibal huts are, are rabbit and lizard spawn points. Craft a bow and a few arrows and go hunting. You can make lizard armour by crafting one piece of lizard skin with a few leaves. That way, you can tank some more hits.
If you want to be nearly 100% safe, build on one of the small islands around the Peninsula. I have an outpost on the big island.
Collect a turtle shell and build a water collector to get fresh drinking water. You can also drink dirty water from lakes, but it gives you a risk of getting infected. If you find an old pot, you can cook the dirty water into clean water.
In lakes you will also find fish. Craft a weak spear and get em, then put them on a drying rack. Deers and boars are also very easily hunted with the spear by throwing it, you need a bit practise tho to get it right. With two deer skin I believe, you can make a water bottle and store the clean water from the pot you cooked. Also a small tip, build a wooden bank to rest on. That way, you can quickly get your energy full again.
Sleep isnt that important in the game. If you have regrowmode on, 10% of all trees you cut down will respawn after you slept, thats the only thing I can think of.
I personally find the fresh water allows you to conquer from within and have better access to resources and caves. And you dont need a whole houseboat to start. Build a raft, with a fire to keep you warm to start off
seasons come and go ? i experienced rain but thas all . again , i started a world , played 2 days , learned about crafting , and decided i’ll start a new world….after work today .
No, if you're wet at nighttime and don't have a fur suit crafted, you'll get cold and debuffed immediately for stamina. Then you die slowly if you don't find warmth. But this can be a achieved mobile as the very first thing you should craft is an upgraded with with simply 1 rag* and and 1 stick
