[@TAScottElstone]

Just a note, when you queue a craft for a tribesman, if the mats are in a chest he has permission to use, he will got get the mats to complete the craft... effectively 'crafting from chests'

[@jonrich9675]

such a good guide. Ty

[@ragthedad]

Another tip for people that I didn’t see you include or use is using Q to quick move items into or out of your inventory didn’t see you use it just trying to help

[@konakoffee5262]

Impressive guide! I was searching for how to put water in the water trough and came across your video. I also learned how to actually plant stuff! To answer your question, I'd much rather have crafting items pulled from my storage than having to go get each item, each time. Keep up the great work!

[@warzshadow9701]

EXCELLENT guide! Thank you! I played this in beta access for that short period, forgot everything 😂. Now hubby and I got this last night. Really needed a good refresher on what was important and what to do.

[@moonlyghts]

Lucky always coming through with the best quality guides. Thank you for this!

[@Gaookami]

I very appreciate this guide. Good walk-through for the early stage. Oh and yes, I also like it if crafting benches are able to pull from local storage chests

[@hankleberry]

43:43 it should absolutely pull from them. Enshrouded did it the right way; you have to use "go get" style until mid-late game when you can craft magic ones that pull automatically.

[@bitpokit]

Having to manually pull materials out of chests only works IF the game itself is themed around realism and simulation. Some examples I can think of are Sons of the Forest and Green Hell. But in cases like SoulMask, where the game is definitely NOT trying to be a simulation, convenience should be the priority for players.

[@I_amTurok]

Your saying your too lazy to grab materials to build?

[@dinn8821]

​@@I_amTurok I'll say it for him. Oh hell yesss, I want to play game, not checking in for second job. I'm sure adding a lil bit of convenience wouldn't hurt, mate. :)

[@I_amTurok]

@@dinn8821 sounds like a bum

[@uncensored1948]

@@I_amTurok Nah, Sounds like someone that wants to play a game, not have a 2nd job. Going from chest to chest to find mats isnt fun, if you are one of the .05% that thinks it is fun, I am sorry for you.

[@I_amTurok]

@@uncensored1948 keep your base organized for when I raid you🤣 back to fortnite in a week for you jr

[@lthead]

You're really good at youtube and your guides are a pleasure to watch.

[@tigonbrage87]

This is a very detailed and good beginners guide for all the new players. Suggestion: Make a new beginners guide later when they have updated the game more and perhaps changed a lot in game. Otherwise, I would say great job on this video. Thank you.

[@jstar1196]

The pull from the chests are amazing. Makes the game way more fun, these games can be a grind, so to see these Devs respect our time is great!

[@dynaelder5037]

Good tutorial for real beginners. I tried 9 before I found yours. Some CC just don't know what beginners guide means, luckily you do. Thanks.

[@LuckyGhost]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@romano3771]

Very professional guide with great production and endless knowledge that’s gonna help new players not getting overwhelmed by the complexity of this great survival game. (Could be beneficial to cut each topic of this guide in separate shorter videos)

[@Straggler8]

Enshrouded made absolute best middle ground when it comes to crafting from chests - you had to craft "Magic Chests" that allowed you to pull and craft from them. It was amazing, because they were quite hard to craft and you really felt the progression for each new chest you placed and it added a nice immersion as well

[@gibbytoo2384]

wow great guide, just started the game and was getting slightly overwhelmed with the learning curve, so just subscribed and liked ofc, keep up the good work.

[@XoRandomGuyoX]

One thing to consider for all tribe members set to tasks that use tools is that the members don't repair the damaged tools by default. Instead they'll sit around and mope until you fix them. So you may want to build a Repair station and set a routine for them to fix tools. Alternatively, in the earliest parts of the game, you may just want to spam stone or bone tools and then keep the rare ones for yourself before handing out the rest.

[@TBaggersGaming]

I'm pretty impressed with this guide, very detailed and thorough! You've got a new subsciber here and looking forward to watching, and liking the rest of your soul mask guides!

[@LuckyGhost]

Awesome, thank you!

[@Maveroik]

About your question around min 43, I think the feature of taking materials from boxes is behind a mechanics perse. You send your workers and they pick everything from boxes until the have the material to start to work, you dont need to stay in a workbench for hours to craft stuffs, you go to explore meanwhile your workers do everthing, thats fine right?

[@PaEldorado]

Really love the guide!! I would have one addition that you seem to habe overlooked: At the beginning, I would definitely prioritise getting the basic linen armour as well as bandages. It increases your health pool by quite a bit and the bandages are your go to healing tool after a fight

[@TimmyTimeGames]

Great guide! The office clips totally caught me off guard lol. XD

[@Walter-Copel]

Great guide. Thank you for taking the time to do this.

[@joeulrich2327]

Conan Exiles had a three some with Ark and Palworld... the out come was this masterpiece that will consume my life. Thanks

[@Izmotus]

....and Enshrouded was it's cousin

[@cut--]

Great video - all the important stuff without taking 6 hours to explain! 😉😊

[@TukeButcher]

you don't need to pull items out of chests your thralls will do it for you if you use the planned queue option as long as your chest are labeled to different categories, they will walk to crafting bench to see what materials they need for said item then will proceed to get the materials and build that item. once I found that out game changer lol nice video.

[@masonbronson3194]

they should just add the option that chests pull when crafting. That way it makes both sides happy. This game has tons of customization via options anyway

[@pappawolfie]

Definately prefer when they have craft from chest even if the chest has to be in a close proximity makes the gaming experience soo much better. also like it when games have larger storage chests as well as stack sizes esp in the survival genre i tend to be a hoarder and always welcome welcome the bigger stack sizes and chest sizes.

[@LuckyGhost]

Same here!

[@Joreel]

Same 😋

[@TAScottElstone]

You can craft from chests... if the materials are in a chest the tribesman can access, he will go get the materials from chests to complete a queued item... also, the chests get larger as they upgrade, like any other game

[@VintageCR]

11:05 the quality determination of any said tool/weapon is not entirely random. you can alter it by having the best possible mood (so your character is very happy) this increases the chance of a higher quality tier to be crafted. and yes your crafting level also influences the tier. with tier being "Fine" or "Good" or "Epic" or even "Legendary" aka blue, green, gold and red color.

[@stillblue2383]

Just started playing this game and this was so helpful! Thank you

[@LuckyGhost]

Glad I could help!

[@BoopsMcGoots]

Just started playing, this was super helpful. Thank you!

[@warzshadow9701]

Hope you do more guides on this game!

[@clockcycle]

Nice guide Lucky, thanks for sharing!

[@LuckyGhost]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@OldIronShops]

Very helpful. I wish more people would do video showing the automation aspect it's a hard learning curve.

[@Louisedoesart]

very informative, super helpful!

[@LuckyGhost]

Thank you!

[@10David31]

Thank you boss! This is an awesome guide!

[@HZGamingVR]

This is Conan Exiles 2. I feel like I already know how to play this Game without ever playing it lol 💯

[@ProvokeMe64]

Well done... very informative!!

[@aamaar2012]

I played the demo version , is there any way to move my game save to the early access game ?

[@id_unknownsoldier821]

Pulling items from chests for crafting should ABSOLUTELY be an option in the server settings. Then each player type can be served, and tailor the game to how they want to play. More realism (manually get items yourself) , or More convenience (crafting stations automatically pull from chests for you)

[@GamingandMore95]

Also they did change it so you can in fact craft from your chests. Which is nice because i prefer not having to continuously pull items.

[@spazzmusic8219]

Amazing guide! I’m on my second day playing and lost the gameplay guide on the top left corner, F9 won’t bring it back up and I changed that key bind to try and fix it and it didn’t work, do you know how to fix that? Get my gameplay guide to display again?

[@ngraner421]

I will have to get this. I prefer automatically pulling the resources.

[@LuckyGhost]

thanks for answering the question!

[@theRealSteinocher]

Very good video...thx...only one question: do u have to feed your tribesman?

[@LuckyGhost]

You can tell them to automatically feed themselves , and they'll grab food from storage as they need it!

[@MrAsmoka]

You can craft from the chest, just press D and have a tribesman assigned, he will come to craft and pick the required stuff on the way.

[@kuriea552]

Some nice tips, thanks :) 100% on the building from chests.

[@SmOOvDoGG]

Enshrouded, has craft from chest mechanic by creating a magic chest which you can get at the start but still relatively early. I think this is a great way to implement craft from chest mechanic

[@hipthug7321]

LuckyGhost thank you your beginner giudes are always great keep up the good work

[@StepOnMina]

Game looks pretty neat. I'm interested in trying it out. I prefer when games let you craft from storage for sure. V Rising really chapped my ass making me run all over my castle for shit.

[@LuckyGhost]

Lol I feel that

[@krissykri]

Me too! Love a lot about that game, but the running around all over the place is frustrating. Thank goodness this game appears to have a "craft from chest" based on permissions you give the NPCs, etc.

[@michael_m38]

Thanks, just got the game today

[@Worldowner]

the very important question - how long is the respawn? you show like it was just instant, but in game it's not, i waited few minutes and it wasnt happened. and, an i get it right that scout can't be recruited?

[@GamingandMore95]

You can make it so your loot drops where you respawn at your feet so if you respawn at your bonfire it drops there. Pvp the person that sets up the server sets the rules for that so that's dependent on that but for pve that mechanic can be adjusted accordingly. Also I was yelling at you to put down a campfire. Lol. You can change the difficulty to whatever you want. There's tons of sliders. Don't make it too easy or you won't be able to take the scout cause you'll kill them in one shot. Learned that the hard way. My favorite thing you can do is turn building decay off so I can build as much as I want anywhere I want. It is still useful to have bonfires because crafting still only takes from chests within that radius. But if I remove a bonfire to build somewhere else my build will still be there.

[@adventurevideos1430]

I wanna know how do you make the alpaca sit down? Cause I haven’t been able to figure it out for a few days and it’s stressing me out😭

[@meghansmith7884]

Ur explanation for this game is already overwhelming🤣Feels like Skrym all over again heheh 😻....Meow

[@FSBushcraft]

thanks for the video great info.

[@krissykri]

This tutorial is truly amazing! Thank you for putting in the effort to create such valuable content! - Does playing Solo/with friends increase drop rates for chests and/or does each person in your group/party/clam/whatever get their own loot from a chest that is opened? Guess I will find out soon lol

[@PecanPirate]

Can you cover more on the tribesmen specifically over mood, moral, patrol route markers, how to improve moral if its been lowered, how to send out tribesman who prefer to hunt to hunt and collect the animal. Ive been searching for multiple videos to cover these questions with no luck. I really enjoy this game but feel the moral and mood are over kill in this game and it would be great if we could just have one or the other. Also crafting posion arrows needs tweaking a single posion only makes a single posion arrow instead of x3 or x5 bit of a inconvenience.

[@dragonpynk5091]

Really Great Guide. Much appreciated. =O)

[@skiesthelimit80]

Great vid overall! super helpful! just have one remaining question unless i missed it. Is our main character capped at 50 proficiency and mastery? Making us utilize the tamed tribe members that we find? Thanks!

[@namelessonewanderland3428]

How do we reward the tribesmen in the clan, seeing no reward option?

[@anthonyluck2360]

great instructional video, can i ask how does this game compare with Aska?

[@popstar8545]

how is pvp in this game? can my base get raid by one person with a pickax or how is structure dmg works? is there are raid times? full loot pvp or what do i lose on kill? i seen this campfire spawns looks not good because i can set some campfire with an group near a base and camp that base. Is there an guild system who is allowed to open doors or loot chests or anyone can loot chests?

[@joeulrich2327]

Basically.... it works like Conan Exiles lol

[@TheVena89]

Are there are anyż story to play ( likenin gorunded)?

[@KiragIG]

In most cases I prefer to craft from chest like Palworld or ARK S+. But in Soulmask you have your tribemates to run for resources instead of running yourself. That's what I lacked in Conan Exiles - those thralls would kindly craft after having master to gather and fetch resources, and who is thrall after all?

[@MrMichaelBCurtis]

can you make more than one campfire base?

[@warzshadow9701]

Saved this. We never got to try animals or farming nor the mounts. We got into it too late.

[@renza481]

Tip for looting: press T to auto loot all at once 😊

[@AviusL]

Great video! :) Ty

[@Niju.20]

Thanks for your detailed guide!!! Does Soulmask have cross-save? Can bring my levelled character to my friend server? thanks

[@LuckyGhost]

My pleasure! I didn't see a way to move my character from one server to another, but I could have missed it. So I'm not 100% on that

[@joeulrich2327]

Yes u can

[@GaussonGaming]

42:55 I'm optimistic to believe that mods can do crafting from chests later. Like Valheim at the very first EA launch.

[@dermashy]

Great vid thanks 🙏🏻, I’m enjoying the game but wish there was an option to increase text size especially for us older gamers 😂 👴🏻 lot of small writing in menus ✍🏻

[@jantokar9211]

Nice , works, bro. Thanx.

[@jakkrit6910]

20:00 i can already imagine my self install inventory mod.... i don't mind manually gathering but to force travel back and forth several time is just annoying for me.

[@scorpion2887]

As usual very good informative video. Can you tell how much time does it take to level up your char to be competetive on offcial servers?

[@LuckyGhost]

not too long, the game just launched today. so if you start today you're starting the same time as everyone else :) after that I'm not sure exactly how long, but you can make loads of progress each day

[@scorpion2887]

Thank you for fast response :)​@@LuckyGhost

[@clausjensen6137]

Another thing for farms do NOT place them side by side as then you can not use the entire plot cuz of some plants are to close to another

[@craigunshallach4951]

Half a year, and the game developed that much further. Was good, is even better now.

[@korujaa]

How apply mod to a weapon???

[@PromptArchitectGPT]

Will this be available on mac?

[@vicntcarliskys.3154]

How I craft the bed??

[@danieljones9222]

how do you get fire ash???

[@treycox33]

I prefer to have crafting tables pull from the nearby storage. I usually add a mod if I’m playing a game that doesn’t. Also, it would be great if you did a tutorial just on the npc pawns.

[@MSWindman]

Manually pulling resources from storage containers is fine in the very beginning, but when a lot of crafting is to be done, I'm all for resources being withdrawn from chests automatically.

[@Arty-j4t]

You dont even neeed to touch resources. If tou set up your tribesmen will take all mats from chests and craft it for you. If you want to craft for example iron pickaxe just press "D" on pickaxe in crafting station to make crafting queue. Tribesmen asigned to manage that table will do all the work :)

[@LightBowgun-xl7qg]

Can we playing this game using PC controller?

[@masterofinfinity479]

the mask part sounds like bionicle

[@SentienceGeneration]

Conan Exiles Ran so Palworld could walk so Soulmask could call a Lyft.

[@callew27]

cant figure how to get the prem har wood for the bed xD

[@belsamethtaken4107]

Recently started so thanks for the video. As for not being able to craft from chests: Its 22024, get with the time. Its just such unneeded and tedious busywork. At least this game has slave labour so it matters less.

[@kimberlysloan1046]

Thank you for the video - very helpful. And no, I do not like the game will not pull from storage for crafting. I guess we wait for a mod at the very least but I wish they would put in the mechanic base game.

[@tuwinator94]

Hey is raiding a thing in this game? I mean other players bases?

[@LuckyGhost]

Yeah there are pvp servers

[@ursinrath6705]

Can we still play demo?

[@LuckyGhost]

I believe the demo is over, and the game goes into early access tomorrow

[@yaboiililkiller7844]

Does anyone know how to use the bug net

[@SagaciousHamster]

equip it in a slot, walk into the middle of fireflies (appear near water at night), and wave it around. You'll get a bunch of them after a few swipes.

[@Nils-fl7og]

what wow version are you playing

[@funkengruven7773]

Great guide but you totally breezed over "how" you collect tribesmen. I can only guess it's like when you steal the knowledge from the scout? Or maybe you wait until they come ask to join you? Who knows because you never mentioned how you collected them. Yes, the one came and ask to join you, but is that how you got all the rest of them? Is there any other way to get them?

[@RoNdOAk47]

It explains it when you play the game. Basically you hurt the enemy to 20hp. The. You can carry them to your base. Once they reach a cirtain affinity to you.. basically feed them whilst they are Knocked out... They will then be one of your followers.

[@SagaciousHamster]

Go to a camp, fight until one is at 20% or less health, then an option will appear to "deter" them. That knocks them out. Pick them up and carry them back, put them on a bed/cot, and add some broth to their inventory and use it. That will keep them alive until they reach 500 affinity. At that point, you can mouse over them, select recruit, and they'll stand up and be one of your tribe.

[@ruddog1545]

the game says May 31st on steam

[@DracoMilitis]

I think having to pull things out of the chest in this game are negated by the fact you can have npc's craft for you, and they will go pull things from chests

[@mattsmith8160]

Does this game have an admin mode?

[@jessievgarcia]

I don’t like when I have to manually pull items for crafting from a storage container.

[@MaroonGoone]

I really hope I can plug and play with my ps5 controller like I can with most steam games

[@michaelsotomayor5001]

I've read reviews. It's more like Rust. I'm sure the PVP will turn many people off. If solo pve isn't fun then that'll suck for this game. Apparently campfires burn out and buildings decay if you're offline. So it seems even more demanding than world of warcraft? I'm not sure about this game.

[@LuckyGhost]

You can always play on your own private server that pauses when you're away if you don't want pvp and you don't want offline decay. You can change settings to also basically negate decay if you don't want to worry about it at all

[@PROdotes]

I like crafting from chests, but since in this game I can just tell my minions to do it, I'm fine with the game not having it :)

[@mysticwolf420]

How much is it though

[@skyex4701]

These early bot comments are something else 😂

[@hurk7984]

You aint lying LOL

[@LuckyGhost]

yeah that's definitely one of the more interesting attempts at "acting natural" I've seen from a bot comment. They really went for it lol

[@RobinT.H-D.E.S]

Nice graphics. This might be a gem. Unlike Eshrouded. That pooks like it came out in 2009
