I gutted every island and modified it. Made log hoppers and a stap around moutain house eirh boat house. 4 boats. 9 water stills 16 plots 4 fuel stills and a library style storage room with a container for each item. Helipad on roof also. 455 days in.
This is exactly what I've been looking for. Thankyou. Can't wait to put the kids to bed and build. Been collecting resources for almost 18 hours real time.
The tips & tricks in this video is very legit. Yesterday I was building almost 8 hours and had to load back bc it completely went the wrong way I was thinking. I am glad I did not save while building. I would suggest load up on whatever resources you would need until it's almost overkill and then start your building with lots of resources. Also do save BEFORE you start building so you not get any headache. Thank you Granddaddy!
BEFORE you place the first foundation make sure there are no obstructions where you want to place the other foundations (like rocks(although you don’t seem to have that problem on PC), bushes, tree stumps and also higher land(like you clarified)). Otherwise you can spend a long time using the move-cursor-and-spam-placement-glitch to get them placed. You can clear the foundation and wall under the dock when the dock is done. If you get the hight correct you can jump out the water on the dock, no need to pull up. But the game does have a tidal feature so maybe check the correct height when there is low tide;)
Speaking of which, how would one go about building a larger circle. Say about three foundations length on each side? If I’m not too late to the party here.
I learned my lesson today, WATCH THE WHOLE TUTORIAL INSTEAD OF ASSUMING THE REST. I was using roof corner pieces for 15 minutes until I decided to look back at the tutorial. Goodness gravy
Wow those are great technique. I am doing a base on a rocky cliff and the cliff techniques you used will help me a lot and the way you did the porch and pier was interesting to o that I might try them so thanks for doing this video
I’m late to the video and I’m pretty new to Stranded but that’s a great tip on how to do the pier! I was struggling to make a decent sized one so will give this a try 👍🏻
@@branchcore yeah I know I miss y’all but I stoped playing survival games due to burn out but I’m trying to play them again. Sorry if I stopped watching and I feel bad for leaving you guys.😕
I started playing this game for the first time recently. I was disappointed to see the lack of builders in the community. I'm 60 days in to my first playthrough and I've started building my perm base. I now know why there are few builders, the mechanics are terrible. Such a shame. But I guess it forces us to be more creative with the build. If you know of any good builders for this game please let me know, I'd love to see.
Conan Exiles revolutionized in-game building by the introducing the equilateral triangle base. Ark followed in a later update. It makes for awesome builds.
@@GranddaddyGamer many area boxes for placeables are square based so it is negative there. If you enjoy building in games Conan has the best mechanics and cleanest look. You can also snap foundations and build on vertical cliff faces.
First thanks for the building tips they took my buildings to another level. But I have to ask a question. I've tried to finish off the roof on the Y building but the two roof wedges do not align at all. So all I've got was a partially completed roof. Any tips on this? Btw. I'm playing on a PS4 pro.
@@GranddaddyGamer no I am talking about not being able to build two wooden roof pieces next to each other. Because of you try to build the second one it'll be red and won't get blue.
Hi GG i have been long time player and recently decided to do the build one of every item achievement. I had a stack of metal sheeting so decide to build a bandstand type building, i just built the frame and not hammer anything to fill it in, while doing so i noticed that when i put the roof on just the frame,even though it all still open and sun shine in, the game still think it is a solid object hence no UV damage. Not sure if this is a well known thing.
Interesting, I recently was told of something else that was little known. Carry a log and swim to a nearby island sharks don’t bite you. Supposedly I’ll have to test these out.
@@GranddaddyGamer Thank you or replying, hmmmm how and why would you want to find out if shark attack if carrying a log hahaha. BTW love your vids and recently try the surviving poison method just for fun, i have plenty antidote lol but was fun doing it your way. Oh while i think about it, have you heard of anyone else playing on xbox getting major frame drop in game,it got so bad the other day that i could not light fire to cook food the frames couldnt sync with trigger presses,went to near island work perfect.
For a second I thought you'd put a chest inside another chest. Is that even possible? Will have to try that out tonight. Infinite storage on a raft with just 1 physical chest on deck!
@@GranddaddyGamer Yeah I tried it last night and was disappointed not to find a cheat. I think they'd patch it pretty quick if you could do that. Have my raft with 4 container shelves full of containers and even dragged a small palm tree onto it last night and it didn't sink so that's enough storage I think.
I really hate that "red" state. I wish you could build into rocks better, I have a build I'm working on that builds into the rock face, similar to yours with a tall tower and side on structure. I'll be going along just fine and then one floor piece will just not want to be placed. It's so frustrating!
@@fearofchicke hey thanks for the tip. Yes I have tried this method a number of times. The issue in this location is that I have very limited angles to try from. I’ve tried all possible and never seen it flicker blue. I’ll have to find a creative way to either hide it or make use of it as a feature.
I'm gonna try to build that way, thanks for showing how to do it! For sure it will be better than my squared houses xDDD But I wanted to ask you.. how to put the trophy hanging on the wall like at the end of your video? I really have no idea :c
Hi gdg hope your well geeze, I’m using a ps4 pro with ssd my game has become unplayable for this reason it seems to be stuck as in its doing about 3-4 fps nightmare.any ideas sir? Thanks love the channel btw be well stay safe ✌️
I have a ps4 pro as well ..i will say i used to use a 2tb external hard drive for increased storage and i hwd massive issues and had to remove my external drive. Then conpletely reinstall the game. I realize this is painful given ps4s slow download times but for me at least it may work.. id say reinstall start their
I don't understand building in this game man I'm trying to build my first ever base in this game after like 4 or 5 years of having it and it keeps on putting the roof panels inside I don't know what I'm doing wrong
That dude's not stranded anymore. He's living in paradise off the grid.
Lmao indeed he is

I know i had serious issues trying to figuring it out..so i was sure others did too
What PFC said.

Very nice! Thanks for the building tips, these will certainly help.
Glad ro help
Absolutely great, dude. Thank you.
Any tips for the roof when You've added an extra layer out around the "Y"?
Can someone explain why I cannot put two wedge roofs next to each other it the second one goes red when aligned and says something is blocking it
Wondering the same thing. Smh
Thank you for the great tips. Your designs are some of the best I have seen!
Thank you kindly
Great Video! I cant wait to get enough supplies to make myself a little island paradise like yours
Great vid man, love the work you put into these, can't wait to do some of this myself specially the circular hut
Glad it helped
Right? He just took my game to a new level.
Loved it, pretty much like Ark Survival tbh but still loved having your tips. I watch all your Tito’s helped me a lot🤘
Nicely done
Much appreciated.
I've been trying to figure out how to make the round tower. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
I hope this helps everyone try to be more creative in their building's.

From someone coming from Rust. I guess those 2x1 designers will come in handy
Looked through your playlists and noticed you play 'Conan Exiles' as well. - Thought it looked familiar 😃

It’s fine I suppose IMO but I need some right angles as well would make my life a tad easier for me tbh

You talking about the very tip that leaves a hole? Try using triangle pieces
@@GranddaddyGamer no I am talking about not being able to build two wooden roof pieces next to each other. Because of you try to build the second one it'll be red and won't get blue.
I'm having the same problem with the wedges you mean they don't align
@@willrangii9484 yep having same problem
How the hell do u put stuff inside in buildings like tanning racks water stills etc
Very helpful and simply shown and explained! Thanks!
aka ~ Waxcold
Thanks so much for this imma use this small hut as a base!
Amazing building work! Love the lighthouse. I wonder, can you make a causeway from one island to another??
No causeway it breaks the next time you load your game.
Thank you this is an awesome video!!
Thank you kindly

You can just build stairs up to the dock from the base floor underwater....boom..access to the dock where ever you want
Thank you kind sir
Awesome
Can you show us how you added the stairs to the dock in the water because when I try, it doesn’t connect?
I added a base piece under water added stairs to it connecting to the dock.
@@GranddaddyGamer oh I see, thank you.
for anyboby wondeing that s the same sort of construction as in rust. LOTS of base plans to take from.
That was super useful, thanks.
How do I submit tips? I have watched many tips and tricks videos and I have 3 that I have not seen.
Just add them to any tips video in tge comment section
How did you place a campfire on the foundation. I've been trying to do this for ages now and it just wont let me.
thats so weird
Nice job 👍
is there a way to build downstairs, ive a building on rocks and want to build downstairs on the other end of the rock/building ?!
You have to start fro
The ground and move up.
That is the swankiest island ever is it one of the rlly far away from starting island ones? It’s got a whole stream in the middle
I really hate that "red" state. I wish you could build into rocks better, I have a build I'm working on that builds into the rock face, similar to yours with a tall tower and side on structure.

Have you tried placing your character at different angles and mashing the “place” button whilst swinging the object over the snap location?

My roof wedges don't fit??? Help lol I can only get one side in on ps4
same.
same!! Help!!!

Put a hook on the wall
@@GranddaddyGamer yeah I did it, but how to attach it? Like grabbing it with RMB (I did that and seemed impossible tho) or there's an easier way?
Great video
PERFECT!!!!
When i did the circle build it would not let me place a second wedge roof along the sides it only allowed me to place one
Try the flat pieces first then fill the gaps with the wedges.
On the octagon hut my roof wedges won't click in
I cant get the foundations to work underwater at all.. unbelievably frustrating..haha
or the floor pieces to attach to the foundations.. grrr
Anyway to fix the small hole left in the very top of the roof
i wish
How to I make a base on a raft
Has anyone been able to get the dock build to work on Xbox? As far as I can tell, it just won't let me put foundation under water.
I have the same problem. As far as I can tell the second you go underwater on Xbox your done building

how do you get more trees and stuff back?
Trees don’t respawn
@@GranddaddyGamer so what do you do if you run out of wood in the world?
@@emeraldhawk8510 you can 'reset' islands, take care tho

Just starting on this game.... It's Minecraft on steroids 😂
nice technique!! I wonder if ps4 has the same build-option
Is it actually possible to build from one Island to another, or is the build area of the Island delimited?
You can IN ONE PLAYTHROUGH but when u save and relog the island tiles connecting each island break the bridge.
Can’t place all the wedge pieces on xbox, such a shame
Interesting I’ve done it many times on Xbox and ps4. Wonder if it’s due to the update
You can build at megaladons location, I built a house. If you do this give me a shout out please 😎
I cannot make floors or shelving work for me no matter how I do it
That’s a lot of clay
But you're still alone on the island...
?
