Stranded Deep 20 Tips and Tricks (GAME HACKS) 2021

[@brittersj101]

Crafting the tool belt and pouches was a game changer for me. No one ever really talks about it but having my 4 most used tools on hand AND not taking up space in my inventory... totally worth it. Plus I drop less tools this way. Only downside is it's harder to check the durability of your tools.

[@martinmcmullan4812]

I thought so too, at first but if you hold down the assign button (R1 on ps4) and quickly flick the dpad to the required tool, you can easily check the durability status super quick. You can even change tools on the fly this way.

[@deisumus1]

For me sadly they still use an inventory slot.

[@ghostlightx9005]

I must be missing something then. I made the toolbelt yet the item I place in slot 1 still takes up inventory space.

[@awfulfrank4271]

Highlight the slot on the tool belt and then assign the tool. It won’t take up inventory space if it’s assigned to the tool belt.

[@ghostlightx9005]

Update: I have inhabited an island and killed the dangerous animals on it (hogs, boars, snakes, and giant crabs) and have made the main stations like the water still, plank station, campfire, loom (for cloth) and now im collecting logs to build walls and stuff around the island. Pretty big improvements

If you are being chased by a giant boar, go into the water or over a rock and it won't reach you. Then you can attack it safely while it runs in circles in front of you.

[@kras01]

Same with giant crabs, get on a rock and wait until it turns around. They will just keep running forwards

I figured it out a few days ago that I could carry 6 boxes in my inventory and each box has 3 slots. When I travel to other islands for resources I carry my 6 boxes and my leather water pouch, a compass and a flashlight OR food ration. I numbered the boxes with a label maker so I know what's in in from the menu without dropping it and opening it. And in the 1st 2 boxes I put whatever I need to make a water still wherever I land so I'm not hurting for water while I'm there. Then set up a shelter to save. And I can stay on that island untill I take all it's resources or until my boxes are full.

[@giuliusromanus]

Nice strategy

[@havi8-0-9]

[@theroyaltakeawayregiment487]

Piggybacking off of tip 20, don’t throw said coconut flasks away, they can store one serving of water. Just go up to your water still and a prompt comes up. This way you get double from the flask. Also empty coconut drinks can be smashed into food.

[@Ashdaybula]

You can place a hook on a flag pole on top of a tower. Hank a lantern and you'll create a light house.

[@dawnsmith4473]

Make container shelves on or off your raft to hold three wooden containers each. You can also build bird snares pointing towards different islands and use the label maker to rename it to what island it's pointing at.

[@paulferry7791]

The Yucca plant also has a fruit you can harvest. That fruit can in turn be used to plant into a plot. If you fill the plot with water and then return to harvest the fibers after the water has become depleted, you should have about 48 fibers from one plot. I had 16 plots which have me far more fibers (768) than I'll need for accomplishing any tasks from then on

[@charlie8686]

Most of you might already know you can craft raft base right where you find them. But I ran into an odd scenario where I have a tire outside of the ship wreck and one tire inside of the ship, but stuck at entry stairway. If you take the tire outside and hold it close enough to the tire inside of the ship and attempt to craft a raft base, you will succeed. This happens when there's a large shipwreck with two locations within the ship that has 2 @ 3 tires. Just thought I would share this very odd example.

[@squalltit7891]

Excellent!

[@dennisvincent94]

If there is a Yucca plant growing in the bushes I will knock the fibrous leaves off the plant, pick up 2 of the leaves and then quick craft a lashing which uses the 4 leaves hiding in the bush. When mining clay I will sometimes drop a lantern or scrap metal on the bottom next to the formation so I can easily find the clay after surfacing for air or fighting a shark. This is especially helpful once the majority or all of the formation has been broken apart and it is hard to locate the pieces.

[@realistnegative8314]

Big tip... if your wanting to transport or move a lot at once, not only stack items as much as possible but use containers to carry multiple stacks. I do this when my island runs out of resources and I have to deplete other islands and carry it all back 😂 if your inventory is mainly boxes you can triple you carrying capacity.

8:08 - amazing tip for the spear throw! I had been using the targetting dot - and wondering why I missed so often!!!! :)

[@johnathanmorlock]

A few more tips... 1. You can store x24 fiberous leaves in one inventory slot, and even in containers 2. Add storage container shelves to your raft, you can keep three wood containers on each set of shelves 3. If you come across many containers, use the axe to turn them into lashing and planks 4. Keep a container of coconuts and rations, you'll thank me later when you run out on the island you're on 5. Build multiple water stills, and when it rains, you get free water.

[@williamdavis3728]

Knew eveything cept the container save trick and the back against ship to hunt sharks.....My tip if you call it a tip....further in game you'll eventually need to have a garden...at this point sleep everynight take 3 nights to harvest what you're growing.....also there are 3 meat sizes,small,medium and large...so when eating the size you can fill 1 2 3 hunger boxes...my personal tip get crafting lvl up asap to craft the sleeping bag...so new island camp set up is one step easier......great vid thx.....

[@briannamcpherson1618]

I find that keeping medical things in your raft storage helps a lot when you are island hopping and keeps the spaces in wooden crates used as inventory available for rarer items.

Extra tip for tip #8: When you spot a submerged wreck at night, leave something that points towards it on the beach so you can find it again. I usually use 1 log palms with the log end pointing roughly out in the water where the wreck is at.

Not sure if mentioned already but if you have a garden going you don't have to always harvest as soon as it's ready if you keep it watered and growing you can harvest more then one of the same item at a time from the same plant

[@amirambojia5379]

Thanks for the tips! Also, you can place shelves on your raft and attach your containers in them. (must be a new update if it's not included here)

Naww it didn't make the cut..is all

[@davestationuk7374]

Refill water jugs etc during storm Storm will refill water still and not use leaves

[@Stranzua]

I keep a flashlight on my tool belt at all times. It could help spot snakes, poison purple starfish, and fibrous leaves that tend to blend in with the surroundings. Obviously useful at night but also helpful at dawn and dusk when the water is dark. It also helps to spot rocks that blend into the bigger rocks. You can lean your yellow raft on your shelter and use it as shade from the sun. I saw someone also prop it up with a spear. Very helpful for the beginning/flat islands. All mountains have spots for shade. If you stumble across an item in high grass that was hard to see but your inventory is full, pick it up and throw it in the sand where you will not miss it the next time around. In a grassy area the tall grass only renders in when you are close. However, if you look more ahead of you, the tall grass does not appear yet. If you see any small palms or rocks and lose it as you get closer, just back up again. Point the backside of your shelter at your starting island. This is very helpful for the no compass playthrough. Plus, I didn't even know the 'cartographer' option in the main menu until I was 75% done with the game. You can also line up your sail and your rutter if you just arrive at a new island and haven't made a shelter yet. If you drink a coconut and put it into a pile, the coconuts get their water back. It's literally unlimited water, just use the 2 in 10 second rule.

Another helpful tip. To save durability on your ax, you need palm bunches. Cut down the tree, make a plank station. Cut palm trees down and drag to station and just process the the tree whole. You save durability on cutting trees up and cutting off the top. At first you won't be able to pick them up, if you save then go back into your game, you will be able to get them. If you need shade and don't have much resources, make foundation, 1 wall, and you can put a roof on that. To see where you are at, where the bosses are. Go to the Cartographer and you can see where the bosses are and what island you are currently on

[@Chewy7575]

Make a sleeping bag ASAP. You can save your game as soon as you land on a new island, without having to use resources building a shelter. (You can't save on your raft, as I previously said.)

Welcome! We have answers

[@dub-pilot]

An Extremely useful tip that i have found out by myself is : Go to your yellow raft and crouch in the middle of it and drop an item on it for example i brought a lashing and put it on the raft and pressed Right click to drag it then i hit the lashing with the side of the raft gently and face the direction im going to . The raft well go like crazy speed just like you have a boat with an engine ;) never need to use the paddle again

[@Dan-so4ye]

This works with rafts as well I have a crate shelf at the front of my raft and I use a barrel too pick up and push in to the shelf makes the raft go quicker then an engine lol

[@dub-pilot]

@@Dan-so4ye yes very gud tactic and recommand to put 4 shelfs to make the raft go anywhere u want and to be able to drag a shark ( big hide ) and not miss it with 1 the 1 shelf

Why does some islands have certain large steel containers that when you try to open them, there is multiple doors & you just keep opening the doors forever & never get in?

[@robstoltz9752]

This is hilarious, but i read there is a glitch where containers on ships respawn.. so you end up with several containers all stacked inside one another. So, every door you're opening is another entire container that has just added up over time... not sure what the spawn rate is, but it's issues like this that contribute to the lag / crashes this game is known for.

[@branchcore]

On your personal island build a flag tower & take binoculars with you & you'll never get lost from home. Spears as markers, I drop a crab by south & a flare gun by my north spear.

Years ago when I played I always worried about the loose stuff despawning when reloading the game. That never happened. As a matter of fact: I think every loose item I left across every island stayed when I re-download this month, what did disappear was my massive harbors, and nearly every other structure except my tent beds. I had to make new water collectors, looms, and smokers, and a new raft. My raft didn't disappear though, it just spawned inside my home island, I could only see the masts.

[@ejguitar5452]

I would definitely keep getting the leaves, it is 6:1 but there are a lot more young palm trees than the 3 yucca on each island. You will more than double the amount each time you harvest, and the saplings grow back much faster than the yucca

Take 4x coconut drinks from the pile leaving only a 1x pile of coconut drink. Using the 2-10 method drink the 4x coconut drinks.

[@IceTea1983]

I don't know if this is already mentioned, or if it applies to all platforms (mine is a PS5), but I figured out that if you skin a couple of coconuts and crack them open for the water inside, you can stack them and pick them up one at a time to drink, then return it to the pile. Each time one is picked up again it will be full, making it an endless source of water (though this water cannot be used for watering farm plots). I have not checked to see if there is a time limit (at a point where the coconut either despawns or rots), but I have played several in-game days (at which point i was killed and abandoned the game for a while) with this system.

Hello Broken_biologist hereI am not sure if anyone thought of this but I stumbled across a cool trick to stack sticks. I crafted 6-8 crude spears and threw 3-4 straight down in a row, walked over about meter/couple feet or so and three straight down the remaining spears. This makes a “box” for the sticks. I am able to keep the majority of the sticks confined to a small space. It takes four(4) fiber leaves to make a rope, and you can only stack four(4) ropes. Ah but did you remember that you can stack 24 fiber leaves allowing to maximize your storage. Thanks for the tip. Have great adventures everyone 👍

Hy everybody. If you loot islands and sail around you probably forget where you are. Have a bed with you, take it out, put it on the actual island and safe the game. Exit now and look at the cartograph - the red marked island is your current position ingame. If you want to build something big (like me 😉) then many things are important. But maybe most important is the starting point. Choose it wise and on low grounds. Because: you can't combine two different starting points to one. (Trust me: i tried and cried 😂) Same as you can't build from top to bottom (like stairs). Like in real life: first think - then do. If your boat gets too big then you can't handle it. 3x3 is the maximum size for your boatfloor. Also 2 or more sails in a row don't make you go faster. Don't forget to have a roof at your handling position. Because the sun can be very strong (and drinking sunblocker all the time is getting expensive). But if you get a sunburn (or even close to it) get in the shaddow (OMG really?! 🤔😂😂) or dive. Not in deep water (sharks...). Just get your hole body underneath the surface. Sorry for my bad english. For more tips n tricks join me on twitch and watch my video on yt (i'll show you what's possible to build 😉). C u stranded folks. Peace out.

When using multiple sails I put the forward and reverse sails to the right and left of the rudder so that I can reach both without having to leave the rudder. I’ve never tried the left and right sails but am going to try as soon as I can. I think that I can put them both within reach of the rudder position.

[@GloryHound34]

What I do is I have 4 sails, all located near the center of the raft, so I just lower the sails in the direction I wany to go. It sounds a little clunky, but its far more effective for steering a massive raft. My smaller raft I still run with just 1 mast, and a rudder, no anchor because thats my speedboat.

[@kajita2048]

Instead of building 4 seals, you could also build 1 rudder and turn your ship.

[@Th3_n3rdtavrn]

The bigger the raft, that harder it is to control with a rudder. After a certain size it just gets easier to use sails in each direction and use those accordingly to navigate.

Pick all clothes, potatoes and yuccas every time. At start pick leathet, planks and raft materials (bois ext) until you build a big raft and 4 stone spears. Make enough shelf on the raft and now you are ready for everything. Find a New island, 4 spaers for pig or big crabs, you have clothes for water, food from pig or crab, pick every yuccas, make more spears and go on. Eventually you have enough stone spears for bosses.(spear gun is optional but you understand the idea) At the end you need only some clay for fuel (you would have enough potato) and fly away..

Oh man, you earned my Like and Sub.

[@adamtheclark75]

Place a rudder on at least 2 ends of your raft. You can steer from both ends. Also steer from the end of the direction your moving. Your steering will be reversed but your raft won't obstruct your sight.

[@GranddaddyGamer]

Personally I place a sail facing both directions. I drive backwards because it’s easier to steer a large raft in reverse

[@dazwhite7885]

Can we discuss Potatoes...If you find a single bunch on your island...firstly don't eat them. secondly don't pick them up until you have a farm plot to plant them or they will spoil. Once you are successfully farming potatoes. Then go for the fuel still. Potatoes turn to vodka, ie alcohol..then fuel for your outboard motor and potential gyrocopter (not that I have gotten that far. Have to say that raft is boss. Mine is a single length with barrels and it does have a tendency to capsize...not fun dragging to an island to flip over..but hey at least it doesnt sink. Cool vid. Thank you and good luck all.

[@zimon7095]

Does not matter if they spoil you can plant spoil potatoes

[@dazwhite7885]

Hey I have a tip pipi plants make sure you always replant them because they will grow back

[@diamondjozu4491]

all plants can be planted to grow it back.i think the tip for plants he should mention is if we find a plant and dont need to use them immediately,we should plant it so that we have guarantee that it will grow back.the normal ones that spawn randomly wont regrow or regrows a very long time.usually potato is what you should plant first

[@dylanbrown8190]

You can carry wood crates in your back pack. Each crate has 5 slots; holding a crate in all 11 back pack slots gives you 55 item slots on your person.

[@Getalifeplz]

when it thunder storms quickly run over to ur water stills and drink 2 slots from each, the storm should give u 2-3 water charges per still.

[@irishman2282]

I wish I could give this more than one thumbs up......

10:05 = Where are those containers kept? What's that hole in the middle?

[@Uhmmm100]

He didn't build a floor on that part of the Raft Base. So the floor surrounding it is higher than the base piece. Like a little cubby hole

[@kensavage7657]

3:21 - I don't think that smoked meat ever spoils. At least, it must take an, incredibly, long time to do so. I've had a large smoked piece of meat sitting on the beach for 50+ ingame days now - still lists it as fine. The rest of this tip is perfectly good - unskinned fish/animals do seem to last forever!

[@jimfisher9749]

I have smoked meat for over 150 days and its still good....im on day 205....

[@kylorenkardashian79]

Omg thank you, this came in handy. thank you for putting in the work fam

[@YogaschoolOmShanti]

Just started this and died on day 4 because I couldn't find resources anymore to build a water still. This will help!

[@GranddaddyGamer]

Awesome! So glad it helpee

[@northhill9447]

not having the resources pushed me into exploring close shipwrecks. don't be scared and go exploring!

[@Excal123]

A lot of great tips here 👍 even after playing over 150hrs I learned some new stuff

[@GranddaddyGamer]

Great to hear!

[@LostClowder]

Hey did beamteam remove the goblin sharks from the console version of Stranded Deep? Because I literally can't find them ANYWHERE

[@GranddaddyGamer]

Nope.. just killed one on stream today

[@mikebutenhof7187]

They’re just about all I seem to run across

[@GranddaddyGamer]

They are a pain

[@LostClowder]

I'm trying to kill one of every shark and take them to my island and the goblin is the only one I don't have but I just can't find him for the life of me all I ever seem to come across are Tigers and Blacktips once in A blue moon I find A Hammerhead or A Great White but for the most part it's just Tigers and Blacktips it's kinda pissing me off

[@branchcore]

@@LostClowder are you playing an existing world b4 patch? Try starting a new world.

[@ljdunsmore1]

You can store 3 items in creates essentially giving you 3 items in each inventory slot I was able to store and transport triple the amount moving from island to island

[@shlam36]

great video man 👍

Thank you sir!

Smoked meet doesn't go off for me? The coconut tip was super useful

[@memeberfunk2731]

Tip 7.2 : sleep during the day time and craft and farm at night avoiding UV exposure

[@johnconnor4330]

I kept farting after coconuts and puking after eating crabs .. knew I was doing everything wrong with all the other islands on the horizon .. I got lucky in the rubber raft, didn't get flipped lol .. made it all the way there in a storm, only to get my ass handed to me by a boar after dragging the raft up on land .. started my save over and continued to just be pathetic .. was so mad about cutting down a palm, filling the thing with fronds then like five minutes later having to refill it again .. guess I shouldn't have wasted my rations day one 😂🤣

[@leviathanskiss8720]

What a Fantastic video That really works. You are by far the best accurate content creator I've come across. Thank you so much.

[@GranddaddyGamer]

Thank you very much

[@chadmiller7975]

There’s an infinite coconut water glitch if you put empty ones in a pile they’ll be full again

[@GranddaddyGamer]

yes sir ..

[@GrandSupremeDaddyo]

You can save yourself the trouble of dragging building materials around by bringing up the holographic image of the item and then walking with that to the location where you want to build.

[@Greasyyyhair]

Not sure if it still works but if you leave food on a spit on fire it won't spoil. The fire doesn't need to be lit but it will still work if it is lit.

[@one1onetime935]

I build a hut (save/sleep) on every island and point it towards the home (base)island or the island I came from.

[@toxicvolk7459]

hey you know how to get more rocks I'm running out I go to different islands too but still I want to know if there is a faster way to get them

[@northhill9447]

i don't think there is. for me, rocks are a valuable resource and i try my best to preserve them.

[@gavinyoung2854]

Adding to 15 instead of using a spear if you stay the night at a different island point your shelter at the island you came from
