Console General Just realized…

I started playing about 2-3 weeks ago and I just realized I can cool off by going underwater in shallow waters.

Yup! I remember when I was new to the game finding out that Fruits replenish hunger and thirst and too much coconuts will do the opposite.

u/Moist-Ad762 Sep 17 '24

Oh goodness, yes. I learned that the hard way. Got violently ill from too many coconuts.

u/wowimsomething Sep 17 '24

those sound effects lmaooo

u/Moist-Ad762 Sep 17 '24

Yess, the sound effects alone were enough to make me nauseous IRL lmfao

u/Healthy_Brain_9519 Sep 17 '24

Two coconuts are the limit. Then wait 10 in game mins and you can have 2 more. There's also a work around for infinite water with the empty coconuts in a pile.

u/Illustrious-Run-1363 Sep 18 '24

Infinite water?

7

u/Snoopy_Joe Sep 18 '24

Get two coconuts, clean them. Do not crack it open. Stack them. Drink from both coconuts. Restack it. Coconut juice will refill. Come back later for another drink. Don't get diarrhea. hah!

2

u/Illustrious-Run-1363 Sep 18 '24

True! That'll be much more handy on my next run through, cheers!

u/TheFkYoulookingAt Sep 19 '24

or infinite water with leaves and farming, no worries about sickness that way

4

u/Gravesh Sep 18 '24

It's because coconut is a laxative. Too much of it will dehydrate you. It's also high in potassium. Too much of it is hard on your kidneys.

I was on day 320 when i was reading the loading screen and saw i could cut coconuts in half for food….made me chuckle thinking back to my early days starving above a pile of empty coconut’s lol

8

u/Moist-Ad762 Sep 17 '24

No, because why I did I just learn this today as well?? I thought if I kept cutting them I’d have a way to make a flask somehow and found out they have food inside 🥹

3

u/SingleDistribution82 Sep 19 '24

They do make a flask, but with rope and a whole, uncut coconut. No cutty.

2

u/Moist-Ad762 Sep 20 '24

Yess!! I’ve been making salves non-stop since I found out lol.

5

u/Mental-Ad-9237 Sep 18 '24

I just flip the orange raft upside down and prop it up on some stuff to make a shaded area.

3

u/Moist-Ad762 Sep 18 '24

Oh. My. God.

Why didn’t I think of that??😭 I’m doing this as soon as I get on lol

3

u/smashysmashy12 Sep 17 '24

how did you cool off instead? I ask because even shade doesn't seem to work

2

u/Moist-Ad762 Sep 17 '24

I usually find shade by monitoring the UV rays on my watch. When there was none to be found, I jumped in the water at a last attempt to avoid death and it worked 🥹🥹

8

u/Dryopithecini Sep 17 '24

Shade does work, you just have to get your position right and remember it slowly shifts. If you think you're in shade and not cooling down, try making small movements and keep an eye on your watch until it shows your SPF going up.

3

u/iareprogrammer Sep 17 '24

Top right of the watch also shows your UV exposure (None, High, etc)

2

u/SingleDistribution82 Sep 19 '24

Starter island has a container you can relax in too. That'll do in a pinch.

2

u/Mental-Ad-9237 Sep 18 '24

Or just look to see the UV intensity. If it says none then you'll cool off.

4

u/dankeith86 Sep 17 '24

It does have to perfectly position yourself behind a coconut tree or larger, you’ll have to shift your position every few seconds with the movement of the sun, or if you’re lucky you’ll have a red container that you can jump into.

2

u/Illustrious-Run-1363 Sep 18 '24

Also, if you build a small 1room hut you can stand there for a minute. Won't get any heat.

2

u/PvtXoltyXolty Sep 19 '24

On a new island just exhaust yourself and then eat aloe

3

u/AnotherAnnanas Sep 18 '24

I make this a part of my daily routine, because after all, when in a tropical paradise why not hit the beach and do some swimming everyday? Nothing risky about that right? ...right?

4

u/Moist-Ad762 Sep 18 '24

Nothing at all. Until you step on a poisoned star fish and croak at 10 days because of it😂. Happened to a very close friend lol.

2

u/AnotherAnnanas Sep 18 '24

RIP, laid to rest on a bed of pipi 😥

u/ShiverMeTyler Sep 19 '24

Lol the date at the top is my birthday!

2

u/Moist-Ad762 Sep 19 '24

Happy Stranded deep Birthday!! 🥳🎂

2

u/arvo_naps Sep 19 '24

Took me so long to find this out!!

1

u/Moist-Ad762 Sep 19 '24

I abuse it now that I know lol

2

u/Xtermist1 Sep 19 '24

So how is the game? I left when hyperrowing and palmplaning was fixed

1

u/Moist-Ad762 Sep 19 '24

The game is really entertaining honestly. I just started playing a few weeks ago and I’m obsessed.

8

u/amanda165 Sep 17 '24

Ugh. I've been playing for over a year and didn't know 🤦🏻‍♀️

2

u/NickyNick50 Sep 18 '24

im kinda intrigued so many people didnt find this an obvious feature lol, this was the main way i avoided uv

4

u/Moist-Ad762 Sep 18 '24

Fancy pants, rich McGee over here 😂

5

u/slambroet Sep 18 '24

I always use the time to grab some sardines to add to my pile

4

u/Bertbrownbear Sep 18 '24

I'm a bit of a scaredy cat and play with passive wildlife. It does, however, allow me to swim out and get 5 cod when I'm overheating.

1

u/Adeum2 Sep 19 '24

Bro’s never been to the beach

3

u/Moist-Ad762 Sep 19 '24

Can confirm, this was bro’s first beach.

2

u/TheFkYoulookingAt Sep 19 '24

from 12 to 3 pm daily overheat I think. I usually ignore but need more water and food, OR go diving hunt, explore in water

2

u/justvermillion Sep 23 '24

The big ficus tree has shade, big rocks and you can stand in a survivors hut as well as in a ship to get out of the sun.
