U have a backpack for storage now

[@littlecones2727]

How do I get metal

[@aaronlemaster3618]

Btw you forgot to add the mystic chest the monkeys WILL NOT interact with it AT ALL that chest is for “Keeping items” to your self and every vault has 1 monkey at the end, and the game was updated now you got to “Find” the recipe to put sail on it as its not linked i mean for me on ps4 it doesn’t have a link i had it find the recipe in a bottle

[@jaythered7966]

WARNING FOR CONSOLE USERS!!!! Do NOT quit your game while one of your monkeys are holding a chest. I did and when I reloaded he didn’t have the chest anymore and I lost SO MANY important items!

[@akiross7555]

i did that, and lost mine today. :( now you are not alone....

[@ryansimper8011]

Press M, it's in the middle of the ocean, you can grab still grab it.

[@matthewponder9833]

I’ve been trying to figure out why my chest keep disappearing and now I feel dumb

[@User_491]

Thank you

[@codenamepizza4971]

Thanks

[@topzombiekiller21]

The monkey holding a chest..genius!! I paused the video after that and got organized thanks..I'll just keep coming here for tips!!

[@michaelmiles2647]

A handy tip too. Pit the chest on the ground and tear the forest apart and rocks. Then teach a monkey to fill it for you by simply picking up one thing and putting it in the chest. Then once the area is clear you can move on

[@the_sansinator2039]

@@michaelmiles2647 you can have 3 destroy and 3 gather, moves quicker that way. Later on allows for multiple areas to be done

[@Robot-Overlord]

Really wish the monkeys would maintain their task knowledge and you could set it through a command and not an action after they've been taught.

[@IndieGamePulse]

We thought the same thing! Frustrating that you always have to re-teach them.

[@Luperoi]

You should try the multiplayer,so you can slave your smart friends !

[@IndieGamePulse]

@@Luperoi lmao you act like we have friends...

[@Atamosk-bu7zt]

Oof

[@lhyycious]

yea its kinda annoying and slow the game process tbh

[@andrewtran5727]

also you can teach your monkeys to load up craft tables, 1. load a recipe you want to make, 2. put the monkey in teach mode 3. grabbing an item from your chest on the ground going to the craft table 4. putting the item into the craft table then the monkey will start loading up any future crafting tables, by doing this you can set a crafting table/forge e.t.c to make 20 items and you can walk away as long as you have one monkey on moving things to the table, one on crafting itself, and one on picking up items off the ground and putting it into the chest, if you have a farm going you can also teach your monkey to plant seeds and another to water the garden

[@BileDuctBalderdash]

Thanks for bringing this game to our attention. I'm downloading the demo now on the Nintendo switch. From your video it seems like a pretty chill game. And I need a little chill right now.

[@elijahmatthewc.jallorina.2668]

yeh its really chill too

[@GamingMonkey123]

Its the escapists + stardew valley + minecraft = the survivalists

[@erikblaas5826]

This was a good tutorial. Had played this game about a few hours and was struggling to have my first monkey learn something.. also had some trouble figuring out the skilltree parts... now I have something to work with. thanks :)

[@jinx_76]

We (Me and my friend) Are getting this game, on Switch, and we kind of needed a guide/tutorial. Thank you for this!

[@ddredbird9152]

You made it to a team17 playlist! That's epic!

[@judasthepious1499]

1. after you sleep -> destroy your bed, you wont lose any material if it's only a base bed.. other type of bed will lose like nails or something, then you can carry the material to make bed blueprint anywhere.. no bed = no base, no base = no raid 2. if you want to you can build a fake base, just build a bed somewhere else, so that the raid will attack there.. protect the fake base with walls and then spike traps.. dont forget to drop by after the raid is ended to collect something (that the attacker dropped after they die by the spike traps) and repair the walls and spike traps 3. no need to build animal (rabbit) traps if you already unlocked the spike traps.. just build spike traps around the rabbit hole an visit it daily to collect the meat and fur, and also repairs it 4. unlike in real life deforestation is a good thing here 5. sell anything that piling up in your storage box to that idiot merchant.. he even buy mud that you dug in front of him

[@ApacheSniper01]

Thanks for the video full of advice. It helped with the monkey using weapons. Not too many people give advice about the survivalists game.

[@nighthaze4313]

This helped me immensely. I ran past the locked up monkeys and chest because I didn't know how to open them lol

[@justinwithmustache9738]

this is a very good guide, now I fully understand how to play, I'm stuck at build base like where I will build and will I live in that forever

[@MyAteSpiders]

Title : Watch before playing Guide 4 seconds into video : You already know how to do that?

[@IndieGamePulse]

Great tips! We've been enjoying the game so far, for several hours, but some of these tips still don't feel intuitive. Thanks for helping 😊

[@StevenVoiceOver]

This was what I needed had no idea you could do half this stuff. I just built a camp on the beach and kept getting killeld by goblins lol

[@Howrselover01201]

So helpful!! Thank you!!!! I'm absolutely addicted to the game! Such a stress reliever

[@dartheastman1599]

Wow didn’t realise it released Edit: Friday release for console I cannot wait me and my son been waiting for this since escapists gonna be some fun co-op

[@rynfinity8671]

OMG! i didnt know that u can cancel the task and let the monkey continue it for you! i always would just craft an easy stuff first and then once the monkey is on craft mode then i make it do the longer task. good tip!

[@jaymos4139]

I was doing that also haha sometimes I'd make something that the monkey timer would run out first haha

[@Team17Ltd]

Great Guide! :)

[@geheimeperson2102]

Yeah

[@kelpy9902]

Nice games, i like escapist

[@notion7536]

Great Game :)

THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO, i just got the game for christmas and did the basics, but then i didn’t know what to do, thanks so much for the info. could you do a part 2 by any chance? again, thanks!!

[@buzzmast3r546]

Thanks so much for making this video. Both entertaining and very informative and helpful :P

[@taylorsapp8195]

Great tutorial man I could not figure out the sail for my raft thank you so much for this informative video looking forward to more!

[@findthestrawberry]

I like the idea of the monkeys helping out but the process is so technical. I don't feel like I'm training my monkey but programming them, like a robot rather than a cute living friend.

[@faustblackheart2231]

Yoo! Thanks for nice video dude! Really helpful.

[@carlthewinner]

On sale on Steam right now (5/13/2022). Looks rad. :) Thanks for the intro video. I never know how to start these crafting / survival games :)

[@KyleenDrake]

This game is less than $3.00 right now on PS4. Just got it after seeing your stream. Thanks for the review.

[@magiccinnamon5382]

For mobile players: To pick up the chest you have to hold the button it tells you to Tab= Open Hold= Carry

[@TheNastyyGamz]

Good video bro, this helps a lot people getting into the game

[@guyguy1403]

This game seems very fun, is there any multiplayer support and is it made by the same producers of the escapist?

Yes it has online co-op and is made by that same team.

EXCELLENT! THANKS FOR CRASH COURSE!

[@TheGamerFru]

I suck at this kind of game, thanks it helps a lot!

[@matthewcharles9813]

Anyone know how endgame is? Like is there much variety to building? Does the game evolve or stay the same as the first 30 minutes throughout?

[@ICOnlyBlue]

I got you. Working on the video as we speak

[@pedrouribe9750]

It does evolve exploring dungeons and improving your gear and the building is not that expansive but it is indeed a great amount of recipes

[@SireAltynneSarris]

Same. The game loop does not change really. Not a lot of depth at the moment but they're adding.

[@jaymos4139]

Great guide thanks alot

[@the_sansinator2039]

Only thing I dont like is I have to show them multiple times, I feel like when they're blue in a task it should be a hot key for it

[@matthewearl9824]

You can teach monkeys to add materials to your blueprints too.

Yep, this helped a lot

Thanks

[@igorb4f]

Anyone who has played Monkey Island series smell some coincidences??

[@YashaHika]

I recommend regenerating your world 4 times after getting the monkey each time cause then you start the game with a full 5 monkeys. I don't count it as cheating because it's built into the game lol

[@TheGamerFru]

Thanks it helps a lot, but no videos is talking about food, that’s my real issue, i’m not good at this kind of game lol

[@missrobin001]

how do you throw the spear using mouse and keyboard? please and thank you!

[@jaymos4139]

hold down right click, aim and release

[@solarcon8105]

Reject tradition... embrace monke

[@brianpadias4143]

I played the game before watching anything on it and i decided it was a good idea to get like tons of monkeys and give them all bats and they would just delete any of my enemies

[@brianpadias4143]

Now i shall get 5 monkeys one clears areas one collects the stuff one holds my chest and 2 for helping me do fighting cuz I’m a BOT

[@brianpadias4143]

And they will all come with me when i use a raft

[@TheZanzibarMan]

Don't forget to like the video

[@troymixwell7681]

🤔 So, why can't I find more than one monkey? Am I missing something here?

[@wandyclips6132]

U need to explore there is one at the beginning of the game and the rest are in dungeons

[@thaismujica2906]

They're in other islands too

[@DarkLord-le8cc]

Is there a creative mode?

[@powtaytow2]

Is there any way you can pick up items quickly rather than space?

[@precisediamondTV]

where do I get wheat?

[@patata1563]

"starting guide" Proceeds to skip the entire start of the game

[@Dreamvivid]

Played for a combined 41 hours and still have never seen Wheat. It’s not in any place people are claiming it to be.

[@isaacashton5772]

I was in the same boat, if you still haven’t found it, Sail around until you find the Desert Island with the Level 2 Danger (two red triangles) There are ruins all around, you can find wheat growing in these ruins, smack the wheat with a tool, and get seeds! Look for sugarcane too, because you’ll need it for the Cooking Pot skill tree.

[@queen_3570]

Does anyone have the bugs where the monkeys drop something and you can no longer pick it up .. Not even the monkeys can pick it up. It's buggy (it's always wood.. So many woodlogs around my base cant pick it up..)
