Subsistence Alpha 62 | Day One | Plane Drops Us Off | S9 EP1

[@TheGolferguy71]

I feel the game is a bit easier now. Survival games are grindy, but I'm glad this isn't where you can build a house in one day. After looting my first plane, I thought....wow, this is too much loot. Personally, I enjoy feeling like I'm just getting 1-2% further ahead each day. If we got dropped off out in the middle of nowhere, don't think we'd have a house built over night. I'll be interested to see what others think of the changes.

[@StephenTube_Gaming]

Yeah, building a small hut would take more than a day - definitely more if building a house.

[@ShawnieP512]

Agreed. I was super hyped for Sons of the Forest. Was my #1 game to get. Sadly, even though it's beautiful, and the building mechanics are definately cool, there's no real need to build a base in that game. In this one, you absolutely need one and like you said, the time and resources you need to build it is a challenge but a good challenge. I feel so much more accomplished when doing it this way. I don't mind the grind.

North Lake is so beautiful! Great spot Mr Steve! - I played Alpha 62 on a server. The regional availability of ores is changing the way we usually play. I ran from Baystream Falls (West lake) to Clearspring Falls (North lake - your base area), with the objective of getting as much Lithium as possible. Got around 40 odd Lithium Ore after combing the entire region for 1 and half days - camping overnight near the north lake. I thought it was fine. This region update is getting me to plan dedicated trips to get Lithium or Obsidian and making me explore new areas. That is surely a positive. - This update will make us travel more, so that does mean, it makes sense to get the hang glider sooner for faster travel? Lots of naturally high places to glide from, like double peaks in the center of the map. - Absolutely loving the 6 min - Stamina Boost Pack. Feel like an Energizer Bunny while running to those far away Lithium Ore regions! I always carry couple of them when venturing far! Overall a fantastic update that gets us off our a## and get exploring!

Happy Holidays to Everyone! Cheers to the debut of a new Subsistence serie im stoked for it! Great episode as always my friend :D

[@ShawnieP512]

Steve, love your content. You've always been my go-to Subsistence channel. Right around the 7:00 mark is where I built my base. I was just installing solar panels with the older recipe (just pearls and elec parts) when I updated to alpha 62. Should've waited to update and made a ton of circuit boards. Also just an FYI, when a plane crashes, and you kill the pilots, save. Unlike all the randomized crates (incl locked crates), the crates from the plane crash site won't dissappear when you save and reload. You can keep loading and the crates' contents will change. That is, if you want to play that way. Just saying. Otherwise, great content.

Merry Christmas! Thanks for sharing! i tend to watch you play more than playing myself....you make it look easy haha

[@jeaniebee3657]

happy holiday steve and everyone

[@ManicPandaz]

Love this game! Nice to see someone playing the newer update. Recently finished making the ATV. Just wish it went a little faster. Took forever to build, the grind was fun tho lol

[@Robinhood55]

Merry Christmas Steve! Thanks for the video

[@StephenTube_Gaming]

Merry Christmas

[@merian_d]

Happy holidays everyone! I am on the north shore too on US West 2 server 😂 I’m glad you restarted a new series. Definitely a challenge to make new circuit boards lol 😂

[@davidwilliams7552]

Yes it took me time to see the plant fibre also

[@ShawnieP512]

Also, once you go and loot lithium, obsidian and silicone from their respective locations and come back the next day, you'll have a hard time finding more. Coldgames said it takes about 3 in game days for ores to respawn and I've found that to he pretty much accurate. I've got about 30 hours in since alpha 62 and I've got over 200 of each ore. It does take a while. Lots of traveling.

[@StephenTube_Gaming]

Ok. I’ve tried mining Ore Rock and then going back later the same day to see there is more ore spawns. I think two times in one day it respawned for mining. That in and of itself is good.

[@jeaniebee3657]

had to pause the video for a few hours had company lol

[@StephenTube_Gaming]

Hope you had a great Christmas

[@mikea8804]

Seems that you you need a lot more plant fibers now then before to make cordage. Last time was 3 for 1 cordage now is 10 fibers for 1 cordage. It’s definitely more of a grinding game.

[@StephenTube_Gaming]

But you get more cordage in the bushels to make up for that plus the bushels spawn in higher numbers.

[@The-Ford-Man]

Can we get led base lights on a switch

[@StephenTube_Gaming]

Only the outdoor flood lights.

[@jeaniebee3657]

i can get 400 plant fiber in a day lol i live near the birch forest though lol so i live in a wide range of areas lol not so much medicinal i think cg needs to bring in more of that to balance it better

[@benbaker4198]

Merry Christmas and happy Holidays but the fiber gathering is more time consuming but much easier but 7 days the die and arc are both too easy and unrealistic subsistence is the most realistic survival game I know of

[@venous-gaming55]

Just got this after being disappointed in scum. Looking for more of an actual survival game rather than a bow hunting for zombies game. Looking forward to watching more of this season

[@oldzack9901]

Happy Holidays, Stephen!! Colours and graphics are gorgeous, no respawn of fibres? That seems a little harsh, eventually you may be spending a lot of running around for something so basic. Good spot to build, you've used it before, perhaps, but it's all in the build , right. You will do something different.

[@jeaniebee3657]

cold games said respawn for resources is 3 or 4 days in the area but there is alot of them in the areas except for medical herbs they seem sparce

[@jeaniebee3657]

oh and happy holidays zack

[@StephenTube_Gaming]

Happy holidays!

[@jeaniebee3657]

well, in ark you live in a jungle steve lol

[@step_fodder2917]

Am I wrong but bear, wolf and rabbit all give 1 pelt & 1 wood gives 1 stick….

[@StephenTube_Gaming]

Rabbit is a guarantee cloth and bears/wolf are a high chance of cloth. One wood log gives two sticks.

[@anth5189]

Love this game. It does have some bugs though. I have had stuff disappear out of my inventory. Like I had three canteens and one just vanished. While moving fish to the cooker one of the fish just vanished. Also not all of the gun shots are registering. I shot a Wolf point blank and half the shots appeared to do nothing. The game needs better balancing. There is a fine line between making it competitive and just making it annoying. You already lose some of your inventory on death, but dumping you 1300 metres away and taking the gun. Then having a Bear literally teleport to the middle of the lake where you were swimming to avoid them and kill you. That is why people stop playing.

[@douglascarvalho6549]

algum br pra colar e fazer um duo no gamew??

[@jeaniebee3657]

why do you gravitate to spawn points lol or do you just pretend to not know these points lol this was for the first spot you thought you wanted to build on on the point at the lake

[@StephenTube_Gaming]

I just love that spot for building. Couldn't find another spot and the sun was going down so I went there again.

[@ZombieKiller1965]

I used to love this game but it's just too grindy now. I guess it always was but now it seems worse. That and there's a lack of action. All I seem to do is run around find bags and crates and fiber. I've switched entirely to 7days now. That said I'm enjoying your videos. As long as you don't start fake laughing every 5 seconds I'll hang around.

[@StephenTube_Gaming]

I try to remember no fake laughs.

[@ZombieKiller1965]

@@StephenTube_Gaming excellent 👌

[@williamshortreed7609]

This game made me uninstall rust.

[@jaybirdjohnstone5326]

you talk to much...
