Btw you forgot to add the mystic chest the monkeys WILL NOT interact with it AT ALL that chest is for “Keeping items” to your self and every vault has 1 monkey at the end, and the game was updated now you got to “Find” the recipe to put sail on it as its not linked i mean for me on ps4 it doesn’t have a link i had it find the recipe in a bottle
WARNING FOR CONSOLE USERS!!!! Do NOT quit your game while one of your monkeys are holding a chest. I did and when I reloaded he didn’t have the chest anymore and I lost SO MANY important items!
A handy tip too. Pit the chest on the ground and tear the forest apart and rocks. Then teach a monkey to fill it for you by simply picking up one thing and putting it in the chest. Then once the area is clear you can move on
also you can teach your monkeys to load up craft tables, 1. load a recipe you want to make, 2. put the monkey in teach mode 3. grabbing an item from your chest on the ground going to the craft table 4. putting the item into the craft table then the monkey will start loading up any future crafting tables, by doing this you can set a crafting table/forge e.t.c to make 20 items and you can walk away as long as you have one monkey on moving things to the table, one on crafting itself, and one on picking up items off the ground and putting it into the chest, if you have a farm going you can also teach your monkey to plant seeds and another to water the garden
Thanks for bringing this game to our attention. I'm downloading the demo now on the Nintendo switch. From your video it seems like a pretty chill game. And I need a little chill right now.
1. after you sleep -> destroy your bed, you wont lose any material if it's only a base bed.. other type of bed will lose like nails or something, then you can carry the material to make bed blueprint anywhere.. no bed = no base, no base = no raid 2. if you want to you can build a fake base, just build a bed somewhere else, so that the raid will attack there.. protect the fake base with walls and then spike traps.. dont forget to drop by after the raid is ended to collect something (that the attacker dropped after they die by the spike traps) and repair the walls and spike traps 3. no need to build animal (rabbit) traps if you already unlocked the spike traps.. just build spike traps around the rabbit hole an visit it daily to collect the meat and fur, and also repairs it 4. unlike in real life deforestation is a good thing here 5. sell anything that piling up in your storage box to that idiot merchant.. he even buy mud that you dug in front of him
This was a good tutorial. Had played this game about a few hours and was struggling to have my first monkey learn something.. also had some trouble figuring out the skilltree parts... now I have something to work with. thanks :)
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO, i just got the game for christmas and did the basics, but then i didn’t know what to do, thanks so much for the info. could you do a part 2 by any chance? again, thanks!!
Wow didn’t realise it released Edit: Friday release for console I cannot wait me and my son been waiting for this since escapists gonna be some fun co-op
OMG! i didnt know that u can cancel the task and let the monkey continue it for you! i always would just craft an easy stuff first and then once the monkey is on craft mode then i make it do the longer task. good tip!
I like the idea of the monkeys helping out but the process is so technical. I don't feel like I'm training my monkey but programming them, like a robot rather than a cute living friend.
Can someone help me? I'm trying to do a treasure map on a new island i've discovered and the place on the treasure map does not exist, it is telling me to go to the Silverbreaker region and when i go there, the place on the treasure map is not there
Damn that storage thing is awesome, But does he forget things? Also my biggest problem is I die EVERY time a raid shows up with the trash weapons I have
Does anyone have the bugs where the monkeys drop something and you can no longer pick it up .. Not even the monkeys can pick it up. It's buggy (it's always wood.. So many woodlogs around my base cant pick it up..)
I’m playin on iphone arcade and can not get my friends to join my game i send invites to my game as a host but when they click the link it just brings them to their own game what am i doin wrong?
@@isaacashton5772 yes you was right, it worked, but I was playing after a while and I forgot all the keys so I should start since begin and I did not even know how to start from begin it had only one settings named "regenerated world" I did that but I still had my own stuffs, I don't know why keys are so hard on this game
I'm having trouble connecting to my friend's island. It loads for a very long time only to say "The connection has closed" or something akin to it. Yet, my friend can visit my island no problem. I've searched everywhere and could NOT find a single solution to this. Anyone has any ideas?
Please help! I got stuck between two rocks that need a bomb 💣 I suppose it’s a game error or something I still don’t have any bombs for myself to craft. I’m stuck and can’t get out please I don’t wanna erase or regenerate the whole game again.
I recommend regenerating your world 4 times after getting the monkey each time cause then you start the game with a full 5 monkeys. I don't count it as cheating because it's built into the game lol
I played the game before watching anything on it and i decided it was a good idea to get like tons of monkeys and give them all bats and they would just delete any of my enemies
Ok i think i just seriously got bad luck. There was only 1 monkey on my whole island so i traveled to another and everything keeps killing me i have not seen another fff

U have a backpack for storage now
How do I get metal

i did that, and lost mine today. :(
now you are not alone....
Press M, it's in the middle of the ocean, you can grab still grab it.
I’ve been trying to figure out why my chest keep disappearing and now I feel dumb
Thank you
Thanks
The monkey holding a chest..genius!! I paused the video after that and got organized thanks..I'll just keep coming here for tips!!
A handy tip too. Pit the chest on the ground and tear the forest apart and rocks. Then teach a monkey to fill it for you by simply picking up one thing and putting it in the chest. Then once the area is clear you can move on
@@michaelmiles2647 you can have 3 destroy and 3 gather, moves quicker that way. Later on allows for multiple areas to be done
Really wish the monkeys would maintain their task knowledge and you could set it through a command and not an action after they've been taught.
We thought the same thing! Frustrating that you always have to re-teach them.
You should try the multiplayer,so you can slave your smart friends !
@@Luperoi lmao you act like we have friends...
Oof
yea its kinda annoying and slow the game process tbh
also you can teach your monkeys to load up craft tables,
1. load a recipe you want to make,
2. put the monkey in teach mode
3. grabbing an item from your chest on the ground going to the craft table
4. putting the item into the craft table
then the monkey will start loading up any future crafting tables,
by doing this you can set a crafting table/forge e.t.c to make 20 items and you can walk away
as long as you have one monkey on moving things to the table, one on crafting itself, and one on picking up items off the ground and putting it into the chest,
if you have a farm going you can also teach your monkey to plant seeds and another to water the garden

yeh its really chill too
Its the escapists + stardew valley + minecraft = the survivalists
1. after you sleep -> destroy your bed, you wont lose any material if it's only a base bed.. other type of bed will lose like nails or something, then you can carry the material to make bed blueprint anywhere..
no bed = no base, no base = no raid
2. if you want to you can build a fake base, just build a bed somewhere else, so that the raid will attack there.. protect the fake base with walls and then spike traps..
dont forget to drop by after the raid is ended to collect something (that the attacker dropped after they die by the spike traps) and repair the walls and spike traps
3. no need to build animal (rabbit) traps if you already unlocked the spike traps.. just build spike traps around the rabbit hole an visit it daily to collect the meat and fur, and also repairs it
4. unlike in real life deforestation is a good thing here
5. sell anything that piling up in your storage box to that idiot merchant.. he even buy mud that you dug in front of him

You made it to a team17 playlist! That's epic!
Great Guide! :)
Yeah
Nice games, i like escapist
Great Game :)
We (Me and my friend) Are getting this game, on Switch, and we kind of needed a guide/tutorial. Thank you for this!
Thanks for the video full of advice. It helped with the monkey using weapons. Not too many people give advice about the survivalists game.
This was what I needed had no idea you could do half this stuff. I just built a camp on the beach and kept getting killeld by goblins lol
This helped me immensely. I ran past the locked up monkeys and chest because I didn't know how to open them lol
Title : Watch before playing
Guide 4 seconds into video : You already know how to do that?
So helpful!! Thank you!!!! I'm absolutely addicted to the game! Such a stress reliever
this is a very good guide, now I fully understand how to play, I'm stuck at build base like where I will build and will I live in that forever
Great tips! We've been enjoying the game so far, for several hours, but some of these tips still don't feel intuitive. Thanks for helping 😊
Anyone know how endgame is? Like is there much variety to building? Does the game evolve or stay the same as the first 30 minutes throughout?
I got you. Working on the video as we speak
It does evolve exploring dungeons and improving your gear and the building is not that expansive but it is indeed a great amount of recipes
Same. The game loop does not change really. Not a lot of depth at the moment but they're adding.
Thank you! I was struggling to get going and you saved me from dropping this game.
Yoo! Thanks for nice video dude! Really helpful.
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO, i just got the game for christmas and did the basics, but then i didn’t know what to do, thanks so much for the info. could you do a part 2 by any chance? again, thanks!!
Wow didn’t realise it released
Edit: Friday release for console I cannot wait me and my son been waiting for this since escapists gonna be some fun co-op
Top Tippage, thanks Alex.
Welcome!
Thanks so much for making this video. Both entertaining and very informative and helpful :P
This game seems very fun, is there any multiplayer support and is it made by the same producers of the escapist?
Yes it has online co-op and is made by that same team.
@@BoomstickGaming radical, thank you 😀👍
Yes and yes
@XxRGAMExX it has both offline and online play
Is there a reliable way to get iron? I find them in a dungeon but I was hoping if there was a way to find them naturally
on others islands, they look like stone rocks but with grey metal inside :)
Plant in caves on other islands I just walked away with 112
This game is so unique, it's soo good!
Great tutorial man I could not figure out the sail for my raft thank you so much for this informative video looking forward to more!
OMG! i didnt know that u can cancel the task and let the monkey continue it for you! i always would just craft an easy stuff first and then once the monkey is on craft mode then i make it do the longer task. good tip!
I was doing that also haha sometimes I'd make something that the monkey timer would run out first haha
I like the idea of the monkeys helping out but the process is so technical. I don't feel like I'm training my monkey but programming them, like a robot rather than a cute living friend.
Good video bro, this helps a lot people getting into the game
Can someone help me? I'm trying to do a treasure map on a new island i've discovered and the place on the treasure map does not exist, it is telling me to go to the Silverbreaker region and when i go there, the place on the treasure map is not there
very helpful , thanks for keeping it short.
how do you throw the spear using mouse and keyboard? please and thank you!
hold down right click, aim and release
For mobile players: To pick up the chest you have to hold the button it tells you to
Tab= Open
Hold= Carry
Is there a creative mode?
Ive only found 1 monkey and it got stuck in the side of a cliff while gathering 😂😂
Wish i saw this tips before, it really help guys
On sale on Steam right now (5/13/2022). Looks rad. :) Thanks for the intro video. I never know how to start these crafting / survival games :)
Is this a point click game? Even on console?
This game is less than $3.00 right now on PS4. Just got it after seeing your stream. Thanks for the review.
Damn that storage thing is awesome, But does he forget things? Also my biggest problem is I die EVERY time a raid shows up with the trash weapons I have
How do you get stone slabs to make the work bench
🤔 So, why can't I find more than one monkey? Am I missing something here?
U need to explore there is one at the beginning of the game and the rest are in dungeons
They're in other islands too
EXCELLENT!
THANKS FOR CRASH COURSE!
Boomstick i love yo videos and they were helpful i already knew the chest but the others were helpful 👍🏻
Hold space bar to pick everything up at once
probably one of the best games out!
Thanks Alex.
Does anyone have the bugs where the monkeys drop something and you can no longer pick it up .. Not even the monkeys can pick it up. It's buggy (it's always wood.. So many woodlogs around my base cant pick it up..)
Great guide thanks alot
Great tips! :)
I’m playin on iphone arcade and can not get my friends to join my game i send invites to my game as a host but when they click the link it just brings them to their own game what am i doin wrong?

Is there any way you can pick up items quickly rather than space?
great video bro thank for choping it up and keeping it simple 👍👍
Can someone PLEASE tell me how to get basalt rock. Im stuck at this part in the game and theres zero guides online to help me. Im so confused
I suck at this kind of game, thanks it helps a lot!
thanks so much this helped a lot
thank you
Stardew with Monkeys, limited game play so far, but still fun. Certainly not Terraria, but lets see what the Devs keep adding.
Only thing I dont like is I have to show them multiple times, I feel like when they're blue in a task it should be a hot key for it
For some reason when i tell my monkey to mimic me and hit a dummy he doesnt train with it
Thanks for the help man
Yep, this helped a lot
1:37 how you opened that options about monkey?
if you haven’t figured it out yet, hold Q! You can rebind the key in settings, too.
@@isaacashton5772 hi thanks my friend I will test it now
@@isaacashton5772 yes you was right, it worked, but I was playing after a while and I forgot all the keys so I should start since begin and I did not even know how to start from begin it had only one settings named "regenerated world" I did that but I still had my own stuffs, I don't know why keys are so hard on this game
How do i destroy a blueprint i put down?
Select the same blueprint and then click con delete/destroy blueprint (not destroy mode).
I'm here after the update does anyone know where to find Cane?
Make a video how to survive in hot region
Thank you so much!
I like dinky lil games like this
where do I get wheat?
You can teach monkeys to add materials to your blueprints too.
Where mango can be found???
2nd Island pal, Big Mango trees
@@jaymos4139 thanks a lot!
Or use the food processor. There is a recipe to turn berries into them
How do you jump over gaps? There's one preventing me from finishing a vault @Boomstick Gaming
use sticks and wooden floor to build bridge
I have a question, how do you get metal hinges for crafting medium chests
I'm having trouble connecting to my friend's island. It loads for a very long time only to say "The connection has closed" or something akin to it. Yet, my friend can visit my island no problem.
I've searched everywhere and could NOT find a single solution to this. Anyone has any ideas?
Please help! I got stuck between two rocks that need a bomb 💣 I suppose it’s a game error or something I still don’t have any bombs for myself to craft. I’m stuck and can’t get out please I don’t wanna erase or regenerate the whole game again.
Thank you!!
I recommend regenerating your world 4 times after getting the monkey each time cause then you start the game with a full 5 monkeys. I don't count it as cheating because it's built into the game lol
Anyone who has played Monkey Island series smell some coincidences??
I’m stuck in building a bed…what do I need?
Reject tradition... embrace monke
The consoles now have the Expedition Update
Good video..but some things have changed
Don't forget to like the video
Tysm!
Thanks it helps a lot, but no videos is talking about food, that’s my real issue, i’m not good at this kind of game lol
we’re all monkeys mimicking this video
Do resources renew though?
Does anyone know how to use these things which the plants drop? Idk how to make arrows from them
What the plants drop are used for tranquilizers not arrows
"starting guide"
Proceeds to skip the entire start of the game
Hiw do you get metal ingots?
I played the game before watching anything on it and i decided it was a good idea to get like tons of monkeys and give them all bats and they would just delete any of my enemies
Now i shall get 5 monkeys one clears areas one collects the stuff one holds my chest and 2 for helping me do fighting cuz I’m a BOT
And they will all come with me when i use a raft
How do i get metal ?
2nd Island
Ok i think i just seriously got bad luck. There was only 1 monkey on my whole island so i traveled to another and everything keeps killing me i have not seen another fff
