Great tips. Here's what made me restart the game: 1. When I learned that you can gain building experience by "repackage" furnitures and hammer for disasembling them. Simply disasembler everything you see, the loot will never disappear 2. The big paper-cabinets have the largest storage capacity. Repackage them instead of building boxes for storage 3. Carying a lot of stuff will give you Strength XP (between the yellow markers) 4. You can chain cables with batteries

[@TestanAlex]

@perandersson3977 you can chain cables just with having some plastic scrap in your inventory, just click on any surface near the power source/output point, you bastard

[@rdmanom7431]

1. Loot does despawn if its not in a container, but loot is infinite in the portals so its not important even if it does 2. the storage crates you build can be stacked on top of each other giving far more space then any container in the game.

[@janovmi2]

@@rdmanom7431 loot is infinite in the portals , thats what i want to hear :D

[@Bermersher]

I think the idea behind the experimenting with recipes is to make you think through what items might make that recipe, thus teaching you the recipe in short-term memory. Unfortunately, the recipes are often not intuitive enough...

[@baitposter]

I figured this to be the case upon trying it with recipe minigame enabled and disabled. Engaging with the recipes in the minigame seems to help remember some of the ingredients better. But probably only if you're actually thinking as to how they fit into the item, for mnemonics

[@crozowblade]

I was hoping the recipe thing was more like I get to decide what materials go into a crafting recipe. All things being equal I could decide which I would rather use for any particular craft.,

[@drorion95]

under the office where you got the basic backpack, is a tunnel where you get a security backpack with more slots. Just break the Windo and take the ladder down.

[@mornkel2125]

Sandbox settings CAN be altered later on, here is how: - go into the save folder of your world and make a copy of the original sandbox ini file (as a backup, just in case). If your world has default settings, the sandbox ini file will be empty. - start a new world, adjust your sandbox options how you like them to be - go into the save folder of that new world, copy the sandbox ini file and paste it into the folder of your first world (overwrite the original sandbox ini file of your first world).

[@Uberphish]

Another handy tip about breaking things: Broken weapons can't get MORE broken, and even though they do a lot less damage, they do still break down objects in the environment. It can be handy to keep a broken weapon on hand as a resource collecting tool. It's slower than using your good weapon, but you're generally going to want that damage more in fights anyway.

[@blitzsarchives-rs7ow]

i knew this but i needed to know about it anyways because i wasn't for certain so thanks

[@nomisk]

Also can repair some stuff with duct tape if you right click it

[@grayfarron5077]

Better tip. Dont use weapons to break crates or PC's at all. Use the vacuum. It shreds most breakables extremely quickly and also sucks up the items into your inventory right away. Fastest way to farm computers and other crates.

[@haishish4967]

The best spot i found to build is above the office space you take the lift up and the jump to the duct area with a power plug so you can put a bench down

[@WomboShlongo]

My crew is playing the game again since another buddy just picked it up and we're making our base up there in the rafters. Its such a fun base location and makes for some great shenannigans

[@GameBooAdvancePlus]

resources do NOT respawn unless you change it in settings. The only way to get infinite resources is via the portal worlds, which reset every few nights.

[@IndyColaTTV]

I'm on a non modified save and a good chunk of the resources are 100% respawning. It seems to be based mostly on time, because I have had stuff spawn on the floor of my base constantly, and there is a desk outside my base that always has pens and rubber band balls on it. The desks other large set piece/storage objects and tools don't respawn as far as I can tell, but ground loot like staplers, rubber band balls, paper, plastic trays, test tubes, and pens I have all seen respawn plenty. There is actually a little store room in the kitchen going through reception that I have consistently come back to for test tubes, glass, and a few other random things. Mostly test tubes seem to spawn there.

[@deathshand4142]

There is a secret area under where you got your basic bag in the offices with a bigger security bag. Just hop on to ledge at the back of that little office and climb down a ladder and it takes you in to a tunnel and the bag is in the room with a pest

[@jerancantor8772]

one thing i didnt pick up on till late game. you can have multiple bases spread around the compound, just set a few tesla turrets facing inwards and they will stay safe during raids.

[@wrinkmd]

Thank you sooo much JAde for posting these videos

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

When it comes to washing, you can use fountains or pools or other sources of 'tainted water'. That electrified floor is a great way to kill some Security Robots for their CPUs when you're ready to build the Hacking Tool. Using the Makeshift Crossbow and supplying it with Makeshift Bolts helps level a lot of categories at once. While the character is bad at jumping, you can repackage furniture and 'climb' it to reach areas early.

[@chickyrocker]

Great guide Jade 👍

[@jeremiahjohnson7515]

Thanks!

[@Hansiwansi]

Okay, so this is super singleplayer friendly. Looks like i buy it.

[@yesimrealhuman4245]

What software did you use to film this video? I'm trying to make a tutorial on how to get to the control room, but nvidia instant replay doesn't save, and shadowplay doesn't work.

[@vokkera6995]

A lot of people use OBS

[@QwertySanchezSA]

Small bladder is presented as a negative perk, but as the only way to acquire one of the two ingredients used for soil bags, which are used to make those really powerful mug grenades. I always take it. It's secretly a good perk.

[@dankrigby5621]

so, how do you harvest your "ingredient" after youve gone to the toilet? or is there a special toilet where it can be harvested?

[@flameblade57]

@@dankrigby5621 shit your pants...

[@QwertySanchezSA]

@@dankrigby5621 you can build a toilet you can harvest it from, but if you don't go to the toilet in time you'll just er.. drop it on the floor, and if you have some scrap plastic in your inventory you can pick it up in a little plastic bag.

[@Underqualified_Gunman]

two things the area you showcased is right next to the easiest to get early game security backpack, and the images also unlock journal entries about the enemies/world. the main penalty for dying is loss of durability on weapons very harsh with the non craftable guns.

[@brog5606]

It's not really a negative, but coworkers are kind of terrifying, I'm just doing my thing during the dark, and I turn to grab some scrap and I get jumpscared by this guy that silently approaches me in the dark. Maybe it would be less scary if they were walking around with flashlights or something like that, but they don't really serve any purpose in the first place, especially since feeding them doesn't really give you anything useful.

[@rdmanom7431]

I get pens and the occasional stapler if you feed him 3 different types of meat, not that you really need those items but I have too much meat anyway

[@BlueShadowUmbreon]

The guy started talking about his larvae when I first encountered him, so uh...yeah. Think there's more to him than meets the eye.

[@stephenopitz3106]

Managed to catch him in a door way with the pest nest located near the main portal. Then proceeded to hit him about 50 time till he dropped his skull nothing interesting yet just way too creepy and he was broken to the point he was just zooming around on all 4s

[@dankrigby5621]

@@stephenopitz3106 hes not broken, hes supposed to bet that way. you can find info about him in an email on a laptop. i bet hes gonna get some more features and lore later on too

[@IndyColaTTV]

I read somewhere that if you don't feed them for long enough they start to steal from you. Not sure of the validity of that however.

[@hulynchow8505]

At 4:35 that big fan in the ductwork. When the power shuts down at night, does that stop also?

[@RachniThane]

i just tested this be setting the game to always night in the sandbox setting, it does turn off, there is a vent on the floor passed it that can be broken that leads to items

[@reallyuglybug9110]

It is really good way to get an anvil early for the repair and salvage station

[@Mazon-]

@@RachniThane p sure there is an anvil in that room behind the fan so you can get one on the first night without venturing into level 3

[@neveser]

@@RachniThane TY good sir!

[@qvcybe]

how good is sneaking in the game?

[@beancheez2905]

How do you actually upgrade the crafting bench? I have the materials for one of the upgrades, but it says I have 0 out of 5. (Or just 0 out of what ever it’s asking for, but it’s literally in my inventory) I don’t understand lol

[@JadePGSurvival]

you need to get ya overall crafting skil up i think, check ya skills page and see

[@beancheez2905]

@@JadePGSurvival I just got over crafting 2 and it started working, but didn't know why. Though it was bugged lol Thanks for ur help!

[@turtyturty6489]

Where do I get a screw driver to repair stuff?

[@JadePGSurvival]

There's lots of screwdrivers all over in tool box, you need hammer to repair furniture, and repair bench to repair gear

[@psypherveritas895]

Pack up large file cabinets to bring back to base to use as storage. Don't destroy them!

[@WomboShlongo]

I've been trying to power level construction just so I have a better chance to repackage these. ALSO putting things in your hotbar makes them weigh SIGNIFICANTLY less. Useful for water coolers, filing cabinets, most furniture in general.

[@Xarthos]

flippy dudes dont open doors, kicking the door open (at least for me) insta kills them.

[@LinWasTaken]

how do we get food? i cant cook anything since all the stoves are broken and i cant find a wrench to fix them. we already looted all the food dispensers.

[@JadePGSurvival]

there are other ovens in offices eventually you cant take one home or craft one yaself you need to explore more and gather stuff

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Read computer terminals or grab tech loot and you should pick up an idea for a Makeshift Stove. You'll also need a Frying Pan and/or Pot for cooking. You can then preserve the food by placing it in a refrigerator. Both the stove and fridge require power though, so you'll want a battery to keep the fridge cold at night and possibly a power strip depending on the plugs near your bench.

[@SpunkMayo]

​@@JadePGSurvivalyou can totally craft a stove

[@drorion95]

The stoves sre not broken. You need a pan to cook. Place the pan on stove and then the meat on the pan.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

@@drorion95 To be fair, some of the stoves are broken. When that happens the icon will turn into a pipe wrench and a prompt will say something like "Requires a Reinforced Hose".

[@carson2889]

if you go down the ladder outside the room at 8:21 there's a little room with a security backpack in it, has 3 more slots than the basic backpack you said to pick up right above it lol edit, I also recommend just using desk legs to break stuff, that way you don't break your main weapons all the time, and you can just package desks real quick to get a new one if it breaks (the desk will break most of the time and drop one instead of packaging)

[@hulynchow8505]

That's what I do. Carry a table leg for busting stuff.

[@AlexUnknown37]

Anyone know a good way to kill robots faster. We have only killed 3 so far. I use the crossbow and my friend was using a spear.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

Yeah, use the electrified water near where you can drop down into level 3 from some crawl vents. It kills them in a handful of zaps.

[@SpunkMayo]

Make traps

[@Ronesby]

I was using a battery and chopinator (bring a hammer too). Set the chopinator in front of the robot in its pod and the battery slightly behind but dont connect it yet. Smack the robot in its pod til its comes out then quickly power the chopinator with the battery. Then just repair the chopinator with the hammer, making sure to keep the robot on the opposite side of the chopinator and presto. I was able to kill all 3 robots in the office sector in a single day on day 2 using this method.

[@drorion95]

Best way is to use the nail traps. Just place 3 or 4. They can be recharged with a box of nails and the box does not even dissapear.

[@madresults_952]

How do you sleep or rest?

[@serg3633]

You have to find/build a bed, or a 3 seat couch. You hold down E and youll lay down.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

If you cannot find a bed or large couch nearby you can also simply sit on benches for a partial rest. Basically it will drop you from the 'rest in 90 seconds or DIE' state to the first tier of noticeable fatigue, but takes half a minute or so to do so.

[@LittleRatLulu]

is that a RAT

[@AmarJusic-xk8nz]

Anybody know how to get pet animal ?

[@dankrigby5621]

yes, youll need to build a pest trap, and then wait for a pest to step into it. afterwards youll need to feed it nachos (they only like nachos AFAIK), and after approximately 3 nachos he will be your pet and you can pet him and make him follow you around.

[@Trueecliptix]

This work on the deck?

[@masonbarber871]

Fully playable, just a touch clunky and unoptimized. From what I've read it isn't particularly optimized yet so it only hits 30 fps consistently on steam deck. It does have full controller support, but menus just use a joystick controlled cursor instead of proper d-pad support.

[@rayh6664]

It works completely fine on deck for me

[@EduardoRobertoSales]

I'm playing on the OLED, works flawless. The graphical settings can be adjusted, I'm getting constant 60 fps with everything on medium, excepted for textures and effects on high. Would recommend setting the right trackpad to mouse.
