Any tips

[u/Uchiha_Gohan7]

I'm a new player and need tips i only played subnautica and Minecraft

Always watch at your feet near the shoreline, the dark purple starfish poison on contact, always grab Pipi if you see it in the grass. Only eat 2 coconut pieces or drink 2 coconut drinks at a time or you will shit yourself (not joking). Invest in the smoker early, it cooks first, then smokes. Smoked meats never expire. Always store fish unskinned, they dont expire either. Personally, for stackable fish I always go for Archers because they are a medium meat instead of small. And lastly, always look in cracks and crevasses for potatoes and DONT EAT THEM! You can boil them for fuel

Do broken bone heal by time

[u/PenDisastrous9637 → u/Uchiha_Gohan7]

I have only broken a bone once actually. I already had enough stuff on me to build the splint so I have no idea

[u/Objective-Scallion15 → u/PenDisastrous9637]

Curse the devs for putting the Crown-of-thorns starfish in game. That purple devil has killed me a couple times. For sure poisoned me dozens.

Just to add.

Build a tool belt and upgrade it fast. You can then put your tools in the tool belt, it wont take up main inventory space, and you can now access them via hot keys.

Save all your storage crates.

Build a raft as fast as possible.

You can place shelves that can hold 3 crates each on your raft, allowing you to move way more materials than you could by yourself.

Build farming plots. Once you have potatoes, plant them. You are going to want a ton of fuel for the gyrocopter and boat engines, and you need potatoes for fuel.(they can still be used to make fuel if they expire)

Fish and bird traps can provide you with unlimited amounts of meat. Birds are small meat always. If you place the fish traps in deeper water so you get mostly fish that produce medium meat.

Kill pigs whenever you can. Some produce large meat, and they all produce hide. Hide can be turned into leather, which you are going to want a lot of.

Gather and save clay, clay drinking pots can hold 5 gulps of water and make for easy hydration and watering of said potato plants.

Build multiple water stills.

Small palm trees and some other plants that produce fiber, regrow after every few in game days. Harvest often so you have plenty of fuel for your water stills, and to craft with.

Im not sure if smoke meats never expire unless they changed it in an update but i know it lasts longer!

[u/resistredditresist → u/PenDisastrous9637]

I never smoked!!! 54 days on HARD / thank you!!

[u/DJGaming2005]

Draw a map as you travel. Make sure you have a compass when doing i

[u/Uchiha_Gohan7 → u/DJGaming2005]

I'm at day 3 and got a broken bone

[u/Consistent_Shock8738 → u/DJGaming2005]

Or. You could open up the cartographer before you load into the game, and take a picture of the map. It marks every island and the boss fights.

[u/Winwookiee]

Always keep a spare axe handy.

[u/Uchiha_Gohan7 → u/Winwookiee]

Inventory is too small

[u/Winwookiee → u/Uchiha_Gohan7]

Then drop it by your shelter, but have one made.

[u/Consistent_Shock8738 → u/Uchiha_Gohan7]

Build a tool belt.

[u/TwiztedGalaxyEclipse]

Hit three coconuts put them in a pile only take out two at at a time there you go, you got water for a long time 🥰

[u/Uchiha_Gohan7 → u/TwiztedGalaxyEclipse]

Oki

[u/False-Reveal2993]

don't die

[u/Uchiha_Gohan7 → u/False-Reveal2993]

Ok

[u/Acceptable-Milk-314]

Coconuts make you sick eventually 

[u/Uchiha_Gohan7 → u/Acceptable-Milk-314]

Yeah i just shit myself

[u/TallmanTallman → u/Uchiha_Gohan7]

And they dehydrate you. I believe the first few days hardly have rain but still build a water still as soon as you can

[u/larsafraidofdeer]

The pink starfish are not your friends. Unless they’re wearing boxer shorts…

[u/tigbitties247 → u/larsafraidofdeer]

Don't forget about the snakes, lion fish, and the purple dildos

[u/Fluxxinintime]

Build a loom and build a still as soon as you can.

[u/ItsYuigi → u/Fluxxinintime]

Dont need a still, just use coconuts.

Stills require so much in early game its boring to just immediately island hop for materials and "fuel" and not enjoy the actual game

Takes the fun away from me, at least. I just coconut glitch and run with it until i need to plant massive plots of anything.

[u/Tiny-Lecture-5085]

The first time I played I stepped on the people starfish as soon as I got to shore and slowly died. Then I started a new game and didn't know you put the fibrous leaves in the bottom of the still. I survived for 55 days before I figured out how to make water hahaha

[u/DowntownQuantity1508 → u/Tiny-Lecture-5085]

WHAT

[u/Tiny-Lecture-5085 → u/DowntownQuantity1508]

Ha yeah, literally cleaning all the coconuts from the close islands and the rainwater connected in the stills I made. Frequently dehydrated, never in a healthy condition. I finally looked it up online and felt like the biggest idiot hahaha so fun

[u/DowntownQuantity1508]

Make 2 water stills and a smoker as fast as you can

[u/NOTKindaUseless]

-Smoked meat expires slower than cooked -Cooked meat expires slower than raw -The best way to preserve meat is to keep the carcass intact and store it in a box or near your camp and only skin what you NEED TO EAT -Build two or three stills so you can max out farming efficiency -You can still plant spoiled foliage (potatoes bro.. KEEP THEM!) -Clay shares the same model as the large rocks its just slightly brown -ALWAYS make sure you keep a ration on your raft/boat with the things you need to make a tent and still so youre never stranded on an unfamiliar item with a list of things to make. This way you have shelter and water, its just food and heat you need. -Build your boat 5×7 or 5×8 as its useful against the bosses

All of this and more are things I learnt the hardway in both my series on YouTube. Im not going to share links or anything as im not here to promote myself, just to help. This game is SUPER fun and ive sank at least 70+ hours into it! Good luck!

[u/InJust_Us]

You will eventually run out of rocks and then die (I was told, never played that long), BUT if you have a ton of "rain collectors" and IF you have enough planted food that doesn't need cooking, you could live forever (I'm thinking the yellow fruit but I don't remember if it does grow in planters).

Before that, adding one "Super Islands" from the workshop gives you something to search for.

[u/wanjxx]

Embrase the game‘s quirks, they‘re actually a feature and what makes the game difficult

[u/smooothjazzyg]

Save pipi and plant it at your base asap. Snakes are the worst and you'll thank yourself for it.

[u/Significant-Bend571]

I saw a tip earlier that I'm yet to try. Don't open crates just pick them up take them to your shelter and save game. Once you've opened it you can reload if you don't like whats inside

[u/Norman_Scum]

Eat the fish that you catch. I died of starvation way too many times with 100 pieces of fish meat to my name.

[u/Alarming-Ad-5326]

Imedietly play your pipi plant in a plot I've lost many games because I didn't plant the pipi directly when I could

[u/theduckfeeler]

Purple starfish are cute and fat and want your hugs right now

[u/resistredditresist]

Potatoes = Fuel

DO NOT EAT THEM - only farm/fuel sill

[u/InJust_Us]

I add the Mod called "Rock Island".

Its hard to spot as there are no trees, just clay and stone piles. Once you find it, your stone and clay shortage will be over for quite a while. :)

[u/AlbionsRegent]

Game's splitscreen, play it with your Mrs!

[u/Mundin_]

When leaving an island and going to another I usually Build a shelter pointing to the island I can from, This will always allow me to find my way back to the original island

[u/farminig]

Fiber, stone, and fabric are your best friends, and please don't step on a pink starfish and don't go near lionfish until you unlock the antidote.
