Beds also change your re-spawn. Just plant a bed if you are going to be in a dangerous area, lay in it for a bit, then if you die, you re-spawn there instead of all the way back at your base.

[@OriginalRyan]

Yep! Great tip for goin out on l9ng adventures! 👊

[@worstchannelever4031]

you can also hold Ctrl to take 10 items from a stack instead of 1 at a time

[@OriginalRyan]

Nice! Thanks for the added QoL tip! 👊

[@Maturin726]

I'm in the early game still. You don't have to keep torches on your hot bar. As long as they're in your inventory, you can hold shift and they'll temporarily replace your active slot. So if you're mining you can dig, dig, dig, shift +place torch, dig, dig, dig. I've also been carrying around a cooking pot because I'm still harvesting every plant I come across and turning them into better food helps with my healing and inventory management

[@OriginalRyan]

Yeah, I forgot to mention the torch tip! I do the same thing. I don't carry a cooking pot because I usually have more than enough food for my trips. Early on, very useful though! 👊

[@swordzanderson5352]

Holy, this is a godsend of a tip, you beautiful bastard, I love you

[@OriginalRyan]

😃 awesome! I know there have been a lot of changes withvthe Sunken Sea, but a lot of these still apply. Thanks for the kind words! 👊

[@swordzanderson5352]

@@OriginalRyan Hopefully they tweak the progression of the game and add in sprinkles of guidance for newcomers so it's not as newbie-hostile as it is, and make progression smoother and a little less of a grind, but personally, this game is doing wonders for me. And yeap, pretty much all of it still works, even the Q trick after the quick stack button that's added, which is splendid for a small time save. I just wished that inventory management wasn't so hellish, which Terraria and Minecraft both have solutions to. Core Keeper, even at the early stages, already feels like you are given way too little slots for the rate you reel in different items. Anyways, keep up the great work!

[@OriginalRyan]

Agreed!

[@fogismaximus]

The empty spaces on the map don't do anything as much as water besides that you can fish in water. One thing I've started doing is cutting the land to make water push into the dead zones and then just replacing the land. Once the water is in, it will completely fill that dead area. Once it's got water, you've created new fishing areas so you can get access to more fish and building your skill without scavenging the whole map for the small pools of water

[@OriginalRyan]

Good idea!

[@doublestakked1041]

something i like to do with all my chests is set a pedestal next to it with one of whatever type of item is in the chest on the pedestal.

[@OriginalRyan]

That's a good idea to mark them!

[@zdazeeeh]

Why didn’t I think of that? 😂

[@light487]

You can craft salvageable tools, cheap ones, and make a bunch of salvage items to repair. Very easy and quick to get. Bonus is you also get crafting experience as you do it.

[@OriginalRyan]

Absolutely! I don't think it'll stay that way, but who knows!

[@oscar133000]

Did not know about the Q key deposit. Will save so much time!

[@OriginalRyan]

Absolutely! 👊

[@thisischris5351]

Daaaaaang, so helpful! I love love love the shift-click to deposit items into chests. I just discovered that one yesterday by mistake. Serious game-changer!

[@OriginalRyan]

Absolutely!

[@ronaldtrang5040]

Actually keeping the iron shovel is more efficient because the durability is more. You waste less wood that translate to scrap. You save more time not having to craft a new one. You save wood that you could craft something else like bridges.

[@OriginalRyan]

I'm not too worried about wood since early game really. Once you can plant it, you never really run out.

[@ronaldtrang5040]

@@OriginalRyan saving time not scraping and making a new one then is more efficient still

[@OriginalRyan]

True.

[@ronaldtrang5040]

With the nerf now. It's back to wooden shovels for me. No point in carrying iron bars just for an iron shovel. What a terrible nerf.

[@OriginalRyan]

If they made the shovels & hoes progress like the pickaxe, it'd make sense, but for now, might as well just use wooden shovels like you said.

[@boboso83]

BROOOOOO!!!! OMG THANK YOU!! Great tips man. My friend and I play this on weekends and we were a hot mess hahaha. This is totally going to help.

[@OriginalRyan]

Awesome! Little things go a long way sometimes! Glad they helped! 👊

[@josh6077]

Don't know if you've found this out yet but you can fully automate the ores by putting a furnace at the arm machines and then another to take out of the furnace and put it in a chest that way you don't need to smelt your auto mined ores.

[@OriginalRyan]

Yeah, got it! Just haven't gone fully automated smelting yet. I've got two bases & I'm tryin to balance resources between them to make more automated contraptions to begin auto smelting.

[@theonetrueanthonylong1843]

@@OriginalRyan I haven't figured out how to get arms to pull from the smelteries.

[@OriginalRyan]

Just gotta place them right next to the smelter & make sure the arm of the robot is facing the smelter by pressing "E" to turn it when it's highlighted.

[@theonetrueanthonylong1843]

@@OriginalRyan maybe my game was bugged it wasnt working last i tried that but ill give it another shot!

"So craft things with your excess materials instead of throwing them in the trash." *Gasps in loot hoarder*

[@OriginalRyan]

🤣

[@jathygamer8746]

LOL, right. Only thing I've trashed once was floor slime

[@OriginalRyan]

I only trash stuff when I'm out exploring. I end up with tons of walls & I've already got thousands at my bases lol.

[@killercouper]

If you place a chest next to your (whatever) crafting station and got the mats in the chest like copper wood and stuff it will auto. take all the mats you need for your crafts.

[@OriginalRyan]

Absolutely! I've covered that in another video! Super useful time saver!

[@killercouper]

@@OriginalRyan ah ok :) i only saw this one, im used to this since stardew valley and tried it the moment i build my first chest :) its pretty nice, ya!!

[@OriginalRyan]

Awesome! Lotta little life hacks to help ya out!

[@Schmicah54]

you can save an inventory slot and not carry scrap parts.. since you already have wood.. if you need to repair just craft a wooden pickaxe and scrap it and then repair the desired item all in the repair bench

[@OriginalRyan]

Good idea to free up one slot! Dunno how much stuff I end up scrapping just to make room. I've always got space until I don't lol. You can also always have something in the "trash" area, just remember not to trash it if it's important!

[@TotsnTwins]

I started making stone bridges because I always have a ton of stone. Then I can save my wood for crafting items and torches.

[@OriginalRyan]

Yeah, I upgraded to stone as well, early on I had a bunch of wood so that's what I used.

[@jathygamer8746]

Great tips! Looking for some help. I once picked up one of those containers in the ancient ruins pockets and placed it in my bedroom, but then when I was remodeling I smashed it when I wanted to pick it up. How do you pick them up?

[@OriginalRyan]

Which item do you mean?

[@jathygamer8746]

@@OriginalRyan the containers that look like the trader's shaving cream except blue glow. Found in chambers with dark caveling floor tiles

[@OriginalRyan]

Ok, I think you can pick them up if you hit them when you're unarmed.

[@jathygamer8746]

@@OriginalRyan I'll try when I see another one

[@godlikefish1193]

If it's a loot container, you can use a shovel.

[@TimberTaipei]

That "Q" in a chest tip = $$$

[@OriginalRyan]

Absolutely! 👊

[@groovyfox8244]

I was playing on controller and realized there was an auto fill stacks option but it wasn't mapped to anything so I set it to R3. Hope this saves someone else some tedious item management.

[@OriginalRyan]

Awesome! Thanks for adding this! 👊

[@chlorophyllheart]

Sometimes I have two pickaxes in my inventory so when one breaks the other one automatically starts being used. Same with all the other tools/weapons.

[@OriginalRyan]

That's usin a lot of inventory space. Might be less stuff to carry with just a few resources for similar weapons/tools & a repair station.

[@chlorophyllheart]

@@OriginalRyan I have a slower play style lol. I throw less important items out of my inventory to pick up later when I come back. Just thought I'd mention that the game does that (auto using new tool after one breaks) in case someone didn't know.

[@OriginalRyan]

Gotcha! It is a useful tip to share & I appreciate it!

[@longrhino]

Thank you!

[@OriginalRyan]

Absolutely!

[@casualgameaholic630]

So I have yet to see anyone post a tip for instantly sending items to the trash bin in the inventory…is there no button to send a selected item right to the trash bin? The constant dragging across the screen gets kinda dicey especially in the dire situations when you need to be quick about inventory management.

[@paulely2570]

Go to settings (controls), find the "trash" button (you can change it to whatever button or key you want. Then, open your inventory, place your cursor on the item that you want to dispose, and click the button that you just applied; it will then automatically transit the item where your cursor was placed on a specific item to the trash selection.

[@Marshall_Francies]

I'm only commenting this because of the recent update, but digging damage was introduced into the game, so the shovel tier you get does matter now. It goes all the way up to Scarlet now as well. You might know that already, I'm just commenting this because the video has outdated info. Which is understandable of course, the game is still in early access. After all the game used to have the repair system that involved scrap parts, then it got rid of the need for those and made it just ingredients for repair, and then brought back scrap parts in the most recent updates. In other words, crap is complicated, no rage required in this text of mine, and hopefully it doesnt come across that way.

[@OriginalRyan]

Thanks Marshall! I am aware of the changes, but didn't want to keep posting videos that will have outdated info in weeks. They've done a pretty good job at addressing changes needed & they were patching stuff quite frequently. When the new update is released, I'll be covering all of the changes to correct past information provided. Thanks for your comment!

[@renasouza8261]

i cant believe i searched a hundred times how to craft ground and nobody told me I could craft bridges 🤡

Found that you can make furnaces for 20 dirt wall for some early crafting points as well Edit: And double equipping 'Petal Rings' gives an additional (2x) 22.7% Harvest Chance on Gardening - Found in the Forest Biome

[@idontcareanymoreok]

so why use a wood tool til it breaks use your best tool make a wood tool and break it for salvage then you can just carry the table and make salvage on a as need saving space. pnly tip i disagree with is you don't need to use your best tool why not fixing them is beyond easy and cheap

[@OriginalRyan]

As of now, both ways are pretty cheap. Wood is infinite basically so you can just keep using wood & trash it or just make a bunch of wood tools & scrap them to repair your better ones.
