Tip#12 raft items are not only cosmetics, if you use barrels they will be submerged about halfway in the water which will make you get stuck easier on rock formations in shallow water, whereas tyres float on sea level making it less likely to get stuck on them
Tip #2: Potatoes will not only fail to spawn, they are the only item I know of that will actually *despawn* if left on the ground. If you come across a potato, drop whatever you're doing and collect it/ store it away immediately. Tip #4: The cheapest shelter you can build is actually your liferaft. Make a spear, throw it straight down into the ground, flip your liferaft upside down, and prop it up on the spear as a lean-to. Cost: 1 stick. Tip #9: Be aware that it only rains in the island grid you're currently in. When you go out on adventures, your crops will not get rain the entire time you're gone, so prepare accordingly. Tip #17: I use my corrugated steel exclusively for farming plots for the reason you mentioned earlier.
Haha those potatoes are so troublesome. I learned that the hard way. I dig that dead crops get revived with rainfall. and good point about the liferaft and spear, very resourceful! cheers bud :)
I just finished the first 30 tips video and this one came out as I was watching it, how perfect! I really enjoy the tips and videos! Keep up the great work 😊
That's a good point! Much better than dragging all of them to the raft! Ill have to remember that, and do some more experimenting around it as well! Thanks for the inspiration :)
Love these tips, thank you. I didn’t know there was a great white so that helps. Also didn’t know I could farm that many items, so I will be doing that today! Thanks for all the tips 🙏🏼 Can you make a video on constructing a nice structure like you have? I have one, but it is probably half the size of yours.
Yeah the great white is troublesome, but not as common! The farming is definitely nice to have going, its too bad trees would take too long to grow because that would help a lot with materials haha. AFA the base, thank you! most of the structure on the ground came about from a 4x4 hut and adding all the building modules to it for the Gotta Craft Em All achievement. Or are you referring to my base on the rocktop? :) I could probably put together a quick video of what I do for building, but the secret is bringing resources from other islands in, a LOT. A raft with a lot of storage is critical for this. Thank you for the kind words!
Haha maybe! There are the survivor remnants and then there are apparently some sea bases. I have not come across one in the wild yet tho. I wonder if they're a myth ;)
@Sharpie360 I was exploring the map with a friend a couple days ago, I'm new to the game, so I didn't know about Easter eggs. I guess we were lucky, we found those remains, the "volleyball" too! 🏐🍍
Tip. When refined ax is low. Craft a crude hammer. Then craft a sawmill. Destroy saw mill. Boo yah refined ax back to 100% also get back hammer. So craft 2 refined axes keep one on you one in a crate, with a crude hammer and you have infinite refined axes.
Yeah I think provided your harvesting level is high enough. I have this odd feeling that breaking down a plank station wont always return an axe unless that's leveled up. My best advice is to just carry 4 axes at all times ;) Save Try Reload! cheers!
Could you expand on tip 20? I tried to bring container parts back, but the weight of them was sinking my 3×2 raft. How big would i need the raft to be for 1-4 pieces of a container to not sink my raft?
I would say you'll want something a but larger. I don't have a definite size but if you're looking to transport multiple container sections I wouldn't go any smaller than a 5x6. This handled my 3x3 raft and a 1x1 raft on top of that with only sinking just below the surface a bit but still able to sail. Bigger is better if you can spare the materials. Thanks for the question!
That's dope, I like that. The hotkeys thankfully work now a lot better than they did when I put this video together but it would be nice to have the extra room.
Me and my buddy found out that if you make a pile of drinking coconuts it will refill them when placed back in it. Infinite water so no need for water stills
Sure, but you can only have 2 servings without getting sick and ending up even more dehydrated. Especially if you're low health and the only way you can gain it back is from being almost full on hunger and thirst. You won't be able to get more than 2 bars of hydration per day cycle (or however long you have to wait until you can drink it safely again) So it's a helpful trick but it's always a good idea to have a supply of water available. :)
@@Sharpie360 I only wait 17 seconds… I have no clue if that is the time but I usually drink 2, go kill a grouper, drink 2 more, put meat on to cook, drink 2 more, eat, and drink 2 more. I never get sick so I think it’s around 15-20 seconds and then you can drink again :) I’m also on console so it may be a full day on PC
Yeah console has its own set of flaws so I can only say what happens for me. That's also a lot of goofing around just to get hydrated imo. That's why I go the water bottles and collector route :) but do what works for you!
@@Sharpie360 I’m still new, and I am still finding out the best ways. I don’t think I’ve even had a bottle yet I will work with them and see what’s up. I shall master the seas though, thanks for your vids m8.
@@Sharpie360No, it’s a separate aggressive shark. I play on PS4. There is the lemon shark that is not interactive too, but the black tip is slender and fast like the goblin.
@matthewsaba7082 yeah it's confusing. The black tip is a passive shark on PC, there is not the other kind, the lemon you said, I think it's referred to as a nurse shark on the wiki but that shark isn't even on the PC version lol. But yeah gotta love the platform differences haha
Hey everyone! This is gameplay on PC. Console seems to have a few different features and mechanics. For these tips nothing seems to be different but if you have different results, please let me know and I will post them here! Update: After extensive research to verify for myself, I was able to determine that rafts, regardless of size only go 1 speed and only require 1 sail, provided the raft is not submerged. I was able to get a shark to flip my single section raft but was unable to flip it due to rough seas during a storm. (see upcoming raft tips video) Cheers!
Unfortunately, there are no floor/ceiling sections made of the container pieces so you wouldn't be able to fully recreate it but you can use the corrugated steel for the floor/ceiling sections. You can only craft the wall and door sections from the container pieces.
Thank you, much appreciated! As far as I know, the co-op is still pretty buggy but manageable. There are some mods that can help with the stability tho.
@@Sharpie360 I'm going to kindly request the name of those mods. Because the buggy mess that is online inventory is making it super unenjoyable to borderline uplayable.
@@ReonaFoxreaperpoet sorry to hear that! 😞 I actually dont know much about the mods as I play just vanilla myself. But i can direct you to a great channel that is much more knowledgeable than I about SD mods. Check out JustRobPlays 😀
Love the consept of this game hate that it's so glitchy! Make it better! But fun so torn. Love the lack of violence not really that many games like it! Wish the makers did a better job.
Agreed, one of my favorite games but also incredibly buggy at times! Its gotten better over time on the PC version but it still could use some polish. I think this is a majority of what we will see in the way of patches or updates for SD1 since the new focus is SD2! Exciting news! Cheers 😁
How did tip 15 even make the list. You stand your raft on its side and you still have an area you cant clip a new piece on. Just buid the whole thing slightly in the water and turn it once to finish the part you couldnt place. Very simple
That would certainly work also. Most of the time I just start a raft on land so it helps if that's the case. I've found that getting additional sections to snap when the raft is still on land end up being annoying because of the clipping issue so this helps that.
The tool belt in theory was supposed to allow assignment of tools and that would move them from your inventory to your belt to open up more slots. This isn't how it works tho and it's just a quick select. For console you would want to highlight the item you want to hotkey, then hold one of the directions on the d-pad and it'll assign it to that. As far as my understanding. I don't have it on console tho. 😕 The black tip reef sharks should be a harvestable food source on console but PC its only cosmetic. Hope that helps! :)
@@Lost_Soul7711 he took forever for me to find him haha from my understanding, there are 3 of the 9 potential survivor remnants in every game map and wollie will be at one of those randomly. It's just a matter of searching each island. Best of luck tho!
Correct, like the trees, rocks, wrecks, chests etc. Are all procedurally generated and have defined spawn points on the islands. So you would have to add in the sharks manually to the surround water of your custom island to get them there.
Sure thing. I will usually just grab a ration if I'm really in trouble. Those things are too plentiful 😅 The hobo stove gives me trouble most of the time :/
Hobo stove also has no limits to how many you can cook at once, you can literally stand on it and drop 50 meats at once. So no useless but I save it for endgame
Tip#12 raft items are not only cosmetics, if you use barrels they will be submerged about halfway in the water which will make you get stuck easier on rock formations in shallow water, whereas tyres float on sea level making it less likely to get stuck on them
Damn for real? You have a good eye. That would make a lot of sense! Thank you for clarifying that! 🙏

for tip 4, if you need to cool off you can also go under water :) it'll cool you off just as well as shade
Yes! That works just as well and you can get some clay or dinner while you're down there too 😁
I just finished the first 30 tips video and this one came out as I was watching it, how perfect! I really enjoy the tips and videos! Keep up the great work 😊
Ha that's what you call continuation I guess :) your timing is impeccable! Thank you for watching, im glad you enjoy them!
You can ‘build’ raft additions anywhere, then swim them to your raft. Ex, tires or barrels stuck in a ship.
That's a good point! Much better than dragging all of them to the raft! Ill have to remember that, and do some more experimenting around it as well! Thanks for the inspiration :)

There is a mod that makes the hotkeys extra inventory slots, so those items doesnt take a slot in the radial inventory.
That's dope, I like that. The hotkeys thankfully work now a lot better than they did when I put this video together but it would be nice to have the extra room.

Forgot about the black tip reef shark. Same health as hammerhead and tiger, but fast.

can you pt the red containers back together if you broke and moved them all?

I don't really agree with tip 23 because you can cook way more at a time. About like 10-20 at a time
Sure! I just skip the hassle and smoke everything because its quicker one and done kind of deal.
