Food Sourses (Basic)

In Stranded Deep there is a vast amount of food sources throughout the game. Today i’ll be covering the basic food sources which are in the game and that are easy to get. Also indeicating where they can be found.

Note That crabs must be ♥♥♥♥♥♥ before eating using a camp fire, eating uncooked crab will result in you getting sick and throwing up

Coconuts can be found in palm tress along the island and can supply a source of food and water.

Also when you have the coconut on the ground, by using your pocket knife on the coconut it will result in it becoming a green coconut, Then finaly 2 (edible) Coconut halves.

Potato plants can be found along islands (mostly at the centre of them) which provides potatos which can be eaten cooked or uncooked.

A Yucca plant is a plant that does not produce any food but can be harvested like the potato plant.It gives you rope/lashing that can be used to craft other items.

Don’t worry!, This is because the plant is reproducing and growing back which will take 1 to 2 days to be fully grown and you will be able to get goods once more again.

Tools/Weapons/Materials

A Hammer is used to build structures like foundations,walls,stears etc

Note when trying to build something make sure that the materials are together. This is because in stranded deep uses a crafting system that requires the items to be together in order to craft.To be able to craft with the hammer the materials will be highlighted (BLUE) indicating that materials can be crafted using the hammer

Machete can be used as a tool, like the pocket knife.It can also be used as a more substantial weapon to kill sharks/fishes/crabs etc.

A Bucket can be used to gather water. When the bucket is placed on the ground you can use a bottle water to get water from the bucket .

Duck-tape can be used as a crafting item to stick/tape things together.

Cloth can be used to craft bandages that can be used a an item to heal wounds.

A touch light is a tool that supplies light at night.

Dragging is a key mechanic to crafting. You can drag any interactive object by holding the right mouse button. Dragging new items together to form a group will allow you to craft items and objects in the physical world without traditional menus or slots.

When a combination is available for a crafting group a tooltip will appear

Which also means that what is cooking will make a sound to alert the person that its done

Building is a gameplay mechanic that allows you to construct objects like shelters using available resources.

To enter build mode you will need to be holding a hammer or crude hammer. This will make highlight groups blue. Building shares similar mechanics with crafting. When a group combination is available in build mode the tooltip icon will appear
