Craft a tool belt, best thing there is in game. Unlock the first one and make a refined spear and use it as the top option, will help alot killing those huge crabs. Don't throw on them wait for them to come to you, go in the sea or a rock they will turn around that's when you stab them at the back like 5 or 6 times. And snakes too as one hit kill.
Axes are allot better for killing the giant crabs. Just sneak up on them and start wacking em. The spears have a higher chance of breaking when using them against the crabs
@@GranddaddyGamer is there a Crackin in this game? and there is one isn’t there? if there is thin well i Best Get to Crafting Weapons that can kill it so Best if i hop to that chop chop
The easiest beginning food for me was giant grouper. If you are lucky they will spawn just out of the shallows and are one hit with any tool. Hold LT and drag them to shore. Then skin. 2 medium meat! Be careful of sharks and poison starfish. Just a tip.
I like to use the extra spears to mark poison spots on the ground. Get close and aim straight down to throw and it will remind you not to walk on spots
Thanks, I’m new to the game. Best tip for me was the coconuts needing 10 in game minutes til you can drink without getting sick. I was waiting a couple irl minutes. The next best tip was probably the raft being flipped. Sharks make the game so annoying when my raft gets flipped every 15 seconds
Rocks also don’t respawn so use them wisely! I like to make a stone tool first and use it all the way down to 2% durability and then make a pile of 2% stone tools to use for crafting axes and stuff. Also use axes down to 0.6% durability and then use those to make refined axes! 👍
Great video thanks. So I took all these ideas on board and actually looted the shipwreck and filled my dinghy up with coconuts and sticks from the first island and set sail straight away to the next bigger island with all the stuff!
You can eat the Kura and the Quwawa Fruit put they do not respawn. You can grow them in a crop bed. The fruit will spoil. So don't pick them until you are ready to eat them.
I"ve got one other tip. If you save your game before opening chest's you can get better items from then. Bex=cause if you open then after you saved the game and don't like what's in it restart and open it to find other items in the chest
I just started on PC with this game, I ran across something & not seen a video on it. When in the cartographer I had planted some palms then seen something strange, I grabbed another palm put my mouse arrow on the truck of the planted one moved to the top & sure enough you can stack them very high, then I got lanterns placed them at the top, homemade lighthouse or trees, I haven't ran across a video that shows this
17:54 I discovered this bug accidentally last night and it still works so I always keep my coconut drinks in an item pile. You don’t have to wait to put them in the pile either (you just have to wait to drink a third or else you get the shits as was said in the video) it only works with empty coconut drinks not after you’ve cut it for food
If your on console and trying to get the no compass trophy you can always hug the invisible border walls. I had two bosses near starting island but other was on other side of map. I just followed that wall up to the top.
They say the waves always move to south. Other tips on navigation too without a compass. I just found the border wall to be a sure thing then trusting my steering over that distance 😆
If you leave tools at 1 percent durability and upgrade it it will be at 100 percent durability again. This will work for stone tools to refind knives and the crude axe to refind axe and the spears
Imagine Stranded Deep but a map of islands 10x bigger, with 40 other players all trying to build and survive. You could form alliances, build and raid enemy bases or protect your island from raiding players. You could form trade routes and trade supplies with other clans and other neighboring islands, imagine having a battle on the sea with other rafts full of players, shooting arrows and throwing spears back and forth trying to defend or steal chests full of loot. That would be the ultimate stranded deep experience in my opinion, like DayZ or Rust but on the islands with not just 1 companion but an entire server full of other players all with the same goal, survive no matter the cost
I thoroughly enjoy this game while playing it with permadeath turned on. I think it ups the stakes. Also I’m pretty sure coconuts do respawn unless I just forgot to pick one lol
@Granddaddy Gamer I stumbles on it cuz I was new to stranded deep so I only used the emergency raft at night so I wouldn't get sunburned. I didn't do anything but turn off perma death
keep them harvested so they’re always on cooldown, aka always growing back while you’re playing…and when you visit the island again they will be respawned
Fun fact, you can prop up your inflatable raft, if you crouch under it, ot will provide UV protection. I learned that on accident while watching your video. I'm on Xbox Uno Edit: just be careful not to knock it over..
So helpful. Thanks for all your videos. I've been playing since it came out on gamepass but recently our Co op save has glitches badly. I'm the 2nd player to my mate and I can't see items in containers, can't pull the raft and only have 2 drinks in my leather flask instead of 3 etc... devs know of issues for months and not fixed. Gutted!
i’ve been playing multiplayer with a mate and the crates are the buggiest things. sometimes we can’t pick them up. i’m not the host of the world so somtimes all the items disappear out of them for me (the stuff still shows for him) anyone got a fix. also great video man. keep it up👌🏼
Coconuts DO respawn in trees! I stayed on the first island for 6 days and some grew back after 72 hrs and others were 5 days! But NOT ALL palm trees do this
Just started playing this weekend on Xbox with my son and have become addicted. Sadly by the end of the weekend we had to walk away from it due to the raft glitch and the house glitch. Both becoming invisible to me and everything in boxes disappear also. Pretty disheartening.
Bummer, my buddy and i have been on this one too. Trying to get it right i keep having to restart cause i paint myself into corners constantly. Hope i dont get stranded in real life cause id clearly muck it up
Nice,thanks for this, i randomly started playing this on ps4 again, im somewhat of a trophy hunter.i play games for the trophy's but i don't look at what i need to do to get them,im cool with the amount i get in 1 playthrew if it was fun ill start it again
not even most players just make a island and port it in for resources.. but honestly i've personally never run out of mats .. and ive gone over day 200..
Hey GDG, just wanted to say thanks your vids on this game, I play on xbox and you have really helped me out. So the last update that came out for xbox, which was in March made it to where when using a spear to fish, you can no longer just take the fish off of the spear. You now have to drop the spear and take the fish off from the ground. Makes fishing way more difficult especially in the water. Anyone else having this problem or any word if the devs are going to fix this?
Thank you for this video. I had a question about material refunding. AFAIK, you need to max out your harvesting AND crafting levels in order to get a full material refund from your crafted items? Is it also true that there are exceptions to this? For example, you get nothing back when you destroy plank container shelves, installed on your raft?
If you're going to leave a island get your compass out point at the island your going to check the direction and the opisit direction so you know your cordienets back
The ground crafting tip is huge. Just started playing the free copy that was given away on Epic a while ago. Finding the whole inventory and crafting system really clunky compared to other games. Clearly built for controller first.
i was referencing the movement of the tides from north to south, which i feel was obvious in the video. but yes the sun does not set directly in the west, more like northwest.. but it is in a westerly direction. as long as you watch the water movement you will always have your baring's.
Do I have to clear the yucca farming plot after harvesting or it okay to leave it? I've been doing that because I dont want to lose it. It gives me a fruit every time I harvest it and I clear the plot and plant again. Is that okay?
On my 2 shipwrecks by my starter island there isn't any buoy balls to loot. There's a crashed sideways ship and an underwater ship both did not have them. How should I make a raft to get to the next island?
Craft a tool belt, best thing there is in game. Unlock the first one and make a refined spear and use it as the top option, will help alot killing those huge crabs. Don't throw on them wait for them to come to you, go in the sea or a rock they will turn around that's when you stab them at the back like 5 or 6 times. And snakes too as one hit kill.
Tool belt is great for console only it’s worthless on pc and does not free slots like it does on console. And you for the awesome tips !

Wow I never knew the groupers were so easy to kill lol thanks mate! I’ll give it a go tonight
I like to use the extra spears to mark poison spots on the ground. Get close and aim straight down to throw and it will remind you not to walk on spots
Thats hella smart bro bro, thanks for the tip!
This is a huge help. Just picked up the game and was struggling from the first moment in game!

And me
Haha yep but I’m a new player also

Me I've been playing since it came out on game pass
I needed this DESPERATELY! I died of dehydration countless times waiting for coconuts to respawn because I swore they were.
the starter raft can be used for shelter from the sun to save taking a dip in the ocean :)
Great video thanks. So I took all these ideas on board and actually looted the shipwreck and filled my dinghy up with coconuts and sticks from the first island and set sail straight away to the next bigger island with all the stuff!
Thank you, this tutorial is well laid out, easy to follow, and understand. Kudos to you!
Great video, try using spears when breaking coconuts to save your axe or refined knifes durability. Just a quick tip
yup always a good one :) thanks for the tip
You can eat the Kura and the Quwawa Fruit put they do not respawn. You can grow them in a crop bed. The fruit will spoil. So don't pick them until you are ready to eat them.
Thanks for making this I’ve been binge watching all your series especially the pirate life series, love em and helped me a lot
I hope you enjoy em as much as I enjoy making them !
This is much needed, game doesnt explain anything!
Thank you! I just got the game and the learning curve is steep! Thanks for a much better tutorial than the game provides!

5 months later and the coconut drink glitch still works for anyone wondering
what is the glitch
The ♾️ coconut is still going strong 2024 ps5
Thanks for that coconut trick, love it lol!
A very educational video! This channel deserves more subscribers.
Hey GDG! Awesome tutorial!! Way better then the standard tutorial in game lol.
Thank you so much for the straightforward and simple explanation of this game. You are awesome! Subbed ❤

Great video just started playing this game on switch your videos are a valuable resource. Subbed and liked.
You helped me out alot with this video, I'm gunna start my playthrough over with this info. Thank you so much!
Thank you i kept dying and rage quitting because it seemed i could never get off the first island lol
Is it me or do we spend more time eating and drinking than playing the game 🎮 🤔 😅
Hydration is always heavy on survival games. I personally hate it lol
Can't get the platinum cause we can't place shelves and hooks for craft em all trophy. So annoying
What system? I was able to play on ps5 a month ago or so - boy was that stressful hahaha
Just discovered this game, thanks for the guide 🤘🏻
This game is awesome. The graphics are crazy. Above all, the sea and sea life. Woah
Finally someone who's in depth with it new sub 👍
Pc looks sooo much better then xbox/playstation even on the latest console it's on 1080p with 30fps like jeesus
It's beautiful, I love the glistening water, it really feels like you're on a tropical island paradise/hell
That branch guy sent me. I gotta admit you're 1 cool old dude! Thanks.
Oh did he? Then hello to u
Yo it's P.Duck!!!
Autosave would be a nice addition

Ty kindly
The drink glitch works on console as well it say empty coconut pile when you pick them up there all full again thank you
Lmao I’m so not surprised it’s still working.
Aye still working as of 10th May 2024 on Xbox Series X
Thank you so mutch! This helped a lot!
❤
I thoroughly enjoy this game while playing it with permadeath turned on. I think it ups the stakes. Also I’m pretty sure coconuts do respawn unless I just forgot to pick one lol
Yeah a lot of ppl saying this recently but I tested it and could not get any to respawn for me after 30 ingame days.
Found this out awhile back in solos sharks don't attack you at night for the first few days or until you actually start making the raft
id be interested in testing this out
@Granddaddy Gamer I stumbles on it cuz I was new to stranded deep so I only used the emergency raft at night so I wouldn't get sunburned. I didn't do anything but turn off perma death
@Granddaddy Gamer I also play on ps4/ps5 so it could he a Console thing
what do mean by leaving items on cooldown? 8:30
keep them harvested so they’re always on cooldown, aka always growing back while you’re playing…and when you visit the island again they will be respawned
Fun fact, you can prop up your inflatable raft, if you crouch under it, ot will provide UV protection. I learned that on accident while watching your video. I'm on Xbox Uno

Just got the gyro copter and got bored planning out my base thanks for the vid
Coconuts DO respawn in trees! I stayed on the first island for 6 days and some grew back after 72 hrs and others were 5 days! But NOT ALL palm trees do this
I’ve tried so many times in all kinds of ways … nothing has ever respawned. I did a test recently where I waited 60 ingame days nothing respawned

Thanks for this mate. I’m playing on the Switch lol it looks great except the sand is pixelated and sunset/sunrise and night
Good guide bro. Well done.
Can you use the world cartography to add a customized island on it on multiplayer so you can have a semi unlimited resource?
Thank you big help
Nice,thanks for this, i randomly started playing this on ps4 again, im somewhat of a trophy hunter.i play games for the trophy's but i don't look at what i need to do to get them,im cool with the amount i get in 1 playthrew if it was fun ill start it again
You can also get fibrous leaves from young palms
Amazing walkthrough better than the jank tutorial
Oh damn, they fixed the sunset direction? A year ago? I gotta play this again.
Oh so thats what made the raft flip what do you do when the shark does it in the middle of the ocean how do we flip raft back over
Cause me and my friend started last night and died to shark because of that
It takes several days but coconuts do respawn. Must have updated it five days in my first try, some of them reappeared to save me
interesting, i just finsihed a playthrough on xbox 100% achievement run and none respawned for me
Hello, great work, and easy to follow. Can you tackle the bosses on console, as I can't seem to understand after the update the Meg is undefeatable :)
Day 23. Had no idea about quick craft or item piles. Wow
Is the starter pack in ps4 because I don't get the option
What starter pack?
The starting crate when you make the world
Can you always change the animal thing to passive and default or when you create the world it cant be changed?
so since materials run out does this make the game not long term like the forest and green hell
not even most players just make a island and port it in for resources.. but honestly i've personally never run out of mats .. and ive gone over day 200..
thank you
Still wish we could build Waterstills and Wood/Corrugated farms on building structures

yeah its a pain in rear with that bug now .. its a known bug since the console update .. i imagine its being worked on .. no ETA atm though
So on my world playing yesterday coconut stew was blind. Let's do the respond and we have rocks respond to and the trees was growing back just slowly
few ppl have said this, yet in my recent tests nothing respawned after 60 ingame days. are you on PC or console?
Nice video. 🌱
What's a good tool to take apart shipping containers?
i just use my axe
thanks!!
Is the island we start the game next to _always_ the centermost island?
Yes
Idk what I'm doing game would kick me out and nothing would save start from the beginning again..
Did you know you can put meat on top of the fire and it will cook!!!!! Trial and error pays off 😉
Do the sharks still try to bump your boat in passive because I got a massive fear of water and I would like to know
yes .. but make sure your raft has at least 2 tiles and they cant flip you
@@GranddaddyGamer ok but what about the survival raft
On my screen there no wildlife sending 😢😢
Great stuff here! Makes me want to get into this game even more, it is pronounced like (Yoo-ka) though every time my man said (yuck-ah) it hurt me
On passive do animals fight back if you attack them? Or are they completely harmless?
They will fight back if attacked first.
Thank you for this video. I had a question about material refunding. AFAIK, you need to max out your harvesting AND crafting levels in order to get a full material refund from your crafted items? Is it also true that there are exceptions to this? For example, you get nothing back when you destroy plank container shelves, installed on your raft?
ive always maxed out my harvesting to get all materials back. otherwise you get part of your materials back.
Wait that map in cartography didn't even show anything? It doesn't look like anything
no wildlife option, playing on ps5... edit nm they moved it to new game options
If you're going to leave a island get your compass out point at the island your going to check the direction and the opisit direction so you know your cordienets back

Either

You don’t have to Clear a yucca farm plot to farm more fiberous leaves from it. It will regrown em.

@@3LI-ALESSI do you have to continue to water it?
If I start switching things off in the options like making animals passive, will I still get trophies?
yup .. but custom islands will not award any trophies
So have they fixed the toolbelt on PC? Where what's on your toolbelt is no longer in your inventory.
lol nope 👎
On my 2 shipwrecks by my starter island there isn't any buoy balls to loot. There's a crashed sideways ship and an underwater ship both did not have them. How should I make a raft to get to the next island?
Use sticks
Lots of sticks and lashings then you need some cloth for a sail and rudder and then you'll need a rock too for a anchor ⚓
What is the 2 tent rule?
Do I have use a new game to use item piles ? Or can I use exiting game ?
I believe you can use preexisting games. Personally never had to restart any game after a major content update
I play on xbox and my game is up to date and I don't get the starting create option. has that since been removed?
you have to beat the game first in order to get the starting crate
OK thanks
is there a change i have no aleo vera on my island?
Not guaranteed to have any types of consumable plants on your island. Might need to visit the next one.
