Also, a niche feature that is often overlooked is that you can dispatch additional staff members to search for specific ingredients, which is really handy to guarantee a steady supply for your money-making dishes.
It is a really great feature that I am glad is included in the game. Thanks for sharing it in the comments! I chose not to mention it myself as I do not make use of it. I just spam the tropical fish sushi dish for my cash flow! It relies solely on Rank 1 and Rank 2 fish, and rice.
@@alexandra21478it really makes you wonder how few people look at the "procurement" stat and completely ignore its existence thereafter. It has to have a function, and that function is dispatch.
It is easily done, my friend! It is really not explained well in the game. I think it’s a really great feature though that a lot of people could get a huge benefit from!
also. I was focused on another aspects of the game. so I missed totally the auto supply. also by hunting. 1st when I started to collect 3 stars, I recognized, that you see on the card where you can catch the fish, how big it is and if it appears during the day or the night time and the depth where you can find it =)
On this same topic, is there a way to know when something runs out on my menu? I have 1 or 2 of some tasty dishes and I keep forgetting to check the menu to see if I need to replace it with something else.
@@AlexTRex3000Late reply that you probably know the answer to by now, but from the menu boards-as in the literal wooden boards hanging above your bar that show the menu to the customers-you can see how much of each stock is left, and if a stock’s run out it gets a big red x over the corresponding recipe’s sign.
So when choosing your staff, before you hire them you can hit "details" and it will show their max possible stats (once fully trained) plus their two skills. This can allow you to identify a cooking or serving specialist before you hire them. Strangely his only works before hiring.
This is definitely an option but I personally prefer the workshop method. Towards the end of the game, when you have no real reason to open weapon cases, it can become quite tedious - at least for me. If it works for you then definitely do it, it is a good method!
@@phinqs I think they meant more as you progress instead of late game. If you add up all the weps you left during a run, it was probably more than enough fragments to get a fully upgraded weapon of choice. More importantly it makes it more feasible to upgrade weps before you unlock the workshop.
@@Syllaren Yes, I agree. It is a really good way to build up an inventory of fragments! It will let you experiment a little more with what weapon types you enjoy too!
There is never no reason... You can upgrade your weapons. As in the orange weapon upgrade. Just because the weapons themselves are mostly useless (after you've researched them) that doesn't mean everything in there is useless
I started playing this not knowing what I was going to think of it. I absolutely love it. It’s a great game that has a lot more depth to it than a first glance leads to believe. Thanks for the tips!
I would recommand tranquilizer triple axel intead of the tranquilizer rifle, as each bullet from the triple axel can trigger the 40% chance of tranquilization individually, leads to a very high chance of tranquilze every fish in one single shot.
It is a valid point and works very well. The only reason I recommend the rifle is that it is easily available from the start of the game. The triple axel does work really well though. Thank you for the tip!
Thank you! I know how frustrating it can be when you know more than the supposed “tip video” so I’m glad I managed to include some points that are a little more advanced! Glad you enjoyed it.
It feels like auto supply was a hot fix at some point. Very little introduction to it, and makes the other "prepping ingredients" part of the game totally irrelevant for the most part. My guess is they used to have just the prep meals version, and realized it was super annoying, and added auto supply last minute.
One thing the game didn't tell you until too late is don't level up your ranking so fast. Because higher rank like from gold, cost you around 2k of unexplained expenses per day.
That is true. The restaurant rank determines the operational cost at the end of each evening. However, each increase in rank also comes with an increase in customers per evening. Therefore, if you can make up 2,000 or 4,000 (depending on Platinum or Diamond rank) with these additional customers then it is definitely worth it!
Another random tip for reaching Diamond rating, which requires a dish with a taste level of 375. There is an almost 100% (seems around 95%) Narwhal spawn directly below where you enter into the Glacial Depths. You can go to glacial depths, catch the Narwhal and then swim back up to the exit. Never serve the Narwhal, instead level it up to 10. You can get level 10 Narwhal sushi really quickly with this method and get your Diamond cooksta rating.
This is a good method. I have actually covered good dishes for money/taste in my recent tips video. I personally prefer to use Waptia Fieldensis over Narwhal but both work well. Thanks for the tip!
1:16 you can drop a rock on the crabs and the fish hiding in the sand charging at you, then you can catch them afterwards. Just need the Diver Gloves unlocked through the story.
I've managed to get 2 of all species save for some super rare ones (Damn you kelp zoneeeee), it's doable since the first zone farm fully upgraded is at about 70% density in that situation. You do need to clear all farms every morning though, since there's a chance for some species to have explosive birth rates. There also seems to be no upper limit to how far you can go above the density cap from births, my record was 174% full thanks to 10 tiger sharks being born at once.
Nice! I was in a similar situation but I got frustrated at the need to visit the fish farm every morning so I removed all the lower rank fish that I did not need. You are right about the density cap too. There is no cap currently. The most I heard someone achieve was around 300% but I do not know how they managed it!
I just bought the game because i saw a godzilla collab trailer, I'm seeing alot of good stuff about this game but I've never played it so im a tad hit nervous. Glad this guide exists
There is a lot of content in this game. However, you can interact with each event at your own pace. If you miss a deadline, it will roll around again within a week or so. My best advice would just be to enjoy the game and tackle it at a speed that is enjoyable for you personally. Good luck!
This accent is much easier to follow along with at X0.75 speed for me, but Im a few drinks in, and english is a second language. Halfway along though, I appreciate the tips. Made me get a better understanding of my choices in game without really affecting my decisions. Im sure alot of your viewers can agree, spoilers suck
You are doing a good job to understand me then, haha! I am glad you found the tips useful. I tried to avoid spoilers as much as possible but there will always be minor spoilers in a video like this. Thanks for your comment!
Just got the game on PS Plus and was looking for a good tips video. This is the best one imo as it keeps it simple. Was able to hire Nino & Raptor and they sure do make a difference. 🍣🍺🍵😊
Perfect. I'm glad that it helped. I was in a similar position when I first started playing but there was not many resources available that answered the questions I had. Good luck with the rest of the game!
When you played enough times you will have a special gear called Steel Net Sensor trap to catch the Tuna but you can also use it to catch the blue spoted stargazer, you just need to place it near the fish than lure it, it will catch the fish
I did always think that this was possible but could not get it to work personally. It may be due to an update since I stopped playing! Thank you for the tip.
Haha, you are not the first to say this. I have taken it on board for future videos. I think I overedited the gaps in my speech this time around but I do speak quite quickly. Thanks for your comment and constructive criticism!
I just finished the game and did not know that there is an auto-supply feature… I mean I saw the option when i’m picking my menu but I didn’t knew that it would be something like that lol
I thought that this would be important information to share, given the ocean-related nature of this video game. 35% of all ocean microplastics come from clothing/textiles, mostly polyester, but also acrylic and nylon as well. This is largely due to clothes made of these materials being washed, which causes these clothes to quickly erode, with the microplastic fibers entering the water system, and eventually, the sea, where they often end up consumed by fish. These microplastics can in turn end up inside us when we eat these fish. Ocean Hero is a great search engine that we can use to help clean up larger plastics before they disintegrate into microplastics.
Really helpful vid man! Thanks! Whats also a really smart way to earn a lot of Sea People Currency, is by winning the shark mouth game next to the sea horse races. Its almost an auto win if you can count! When playing the game, be aware that when you're about 7 teeth away, you need to make sure your opponents turn can't possible end at the tooth before the trigger. That said, I easily make 300-500 daily with that technique
I’m glad you got some value out of the video! Thanks for the tip! I’ve heard a lot of people talk about it but not actually trialled it myself since my Ruby Seahorses carry me through the races, haha!
I didin't know about the auto supply feature and I'm oalready in the post game! LOL thanks so much, makes life easier! For me, an indispensable gun is the death sniper rifle. I wouldn't want to mess with sharks or with bosses without it.
Honestly, I was practically finished the game before I knew about it too. I was a huge fan of the sniper rifle during my playthrough too. It feels good to be able to keep your distance in the boss fights.
Thanks fae the tips! Somehow I completely missed the auto supply option and have just been making my best guess at how many customers are likely to arrive each night - that will make things much easier!
You mentioned the sea horses and questboard for the sea people currency, but you can also get it from the arcade. There are at least 3 games there, that if you know how to play, are all pretty easy and are available earlier
One other thing is you can sell excess ore and items to the blacksmith to boost your undersea currency so u can fully upgrade ur under sea garden and upgrade the seeds to max
I think the best weapon is the tranquilizer sniper, it's perfect in any situation: do serious damage, and can tranquilize any pray. The main issue is the magazine capacity tho...
It is a great option but it can kill fish quite quickly. Therefore, it can be a little frustrating if you do not manage to put a fish to sleep on the first shot. However, if you like it then that is all the matters!
A better way to farm sea people coins is the shark teeth game in the casino: just count the teeths and stay 4/8/12/16 teeths away from the one you want to avoid. For example L is the loosing teeth and you're the first to play, choose 1 A AAAA AAAA AAAA L AAA Then, if he plays 1 you play 3, if he plays 2 you play 2, if he plays 3 you play 1 until he inevitably has to loose. If he starts first it's the same method.
This is a great technique. I actually covered it in my most recent Dave the Diver tips video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hPlP8lWhjDQ.html . Thank you for sharing!
Oh wow, in german the "auto-supply" is translated to "auto-cook" and I thought the cooking is automated anyways, that's why I never understood what this feature is about. And since I am still in an early-mid state of the game I didn't want to waste fish or money to test it.` I thought this feature would need additional materials to activate it. So if you are good at predicting the number of customers, is it really good/worth to use it?
That is a really unfortunate translation. I think it is really useful and I have used it for the majority of my time on the game. However, if you know how many customers you are expecting then you can just count to make sure you supply the correct amount. I think it is more convenient than counting every night though, personally!
30k a night ? Those are rookie numbers, you need to pump those numbers up! Also, easiest way to getting fragments is disassembling guns you find. You are collecting stuff anyway like pots and high grade minerals, disassembling few guns in a dive can net you 0-30 fragments based on drop rate
You are right, I am now clearing around 130k a night from the restaurant and branch combined. Thanks for the tips. I have already addressed these in my most recent tips video too: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-hPlP8lWhjDQ.html
Thank you for the tip about hiring Raptor! I didn’t realize that cocktail serving would be in my future lol. Is Maki worth it? I read she can scale up infinitely
No problem! I am really not a fan of those restaurant tasks, haha! In my opinion, Maki is really great throughout the whole game. However, I think she is a little bit overkill towards the end of the game. This is simply because other characters will get a different skill such as "Ingredient Prep Expert", which may be considered more beneficial since the difference between 908 cooking (Charlie's cooking at level 20) and 1055 cooking (Maki's cooking at level 20) is not that great. I still use Maki though since I am not hugely passionate about the optimum arrangement.
In 90'th I have pc 286 who worked on I think 8 mhz with turbo to 12mhz😊, quantum hdd with 48mb(he was very good). I play game from Sierra called "space quest"..."King's Quest" too, who had so much tecnical and gameplay simillaraties with this game.
It is crazy to see how far games have come graphically without necessarily developing core mechanics. Obviously, this isn't true for all games, as many modern games are much more advanced. However, I have always been a huge fan of Runescape which is very simple in concept but extremely captivating. Dave the Diver is just as captivating, in my opinion!
Thank you guy who crashed into me and broke my ankle. 6 weeks paid leave and an upgrade to ps5 with ps extra. I almost fell sorry for suing you. Almost. Lets fucking goooooooo.
You should help your employees working in the restaurant, that way you get more customers ( you can only get new customers when the old ones go away, which happens faster if you help out) I use recipes on level 7 right now, and I earn around 50k-90k per night, per restaurant
It's a feature that is really easy to miss. I personally use the tropical fish sushi for all of my money though, so I do not actually have a need for those ingredients!
@@brentusfirmus Haha! To be fair, I think both are grammatically correct because I do wish that I knew those things sooner. However, I do also wish that I had known them when I started playing the game. Therefore, whether used in the past or past participle, they are both correct!
@@phinqs I don't think so. 'Things I wish I knew' are things you want to know NOW that you do not yet know. I wish I knew German, I wish I knew how to fix my microwave, I wish I knew what was going on, etc. As soon as you reference a point in the past, the 'knew' must also go one step further into the past, becoming 'had known'. So: I wish I had known life would be like this, I wish I had known my degree would be useless, I wish I had known these things sooner. Using 'knew' in the past is a growing trend, I hear people say it on Twitch all the time. They say 'I wish I didn't do that' when what they mean is 'I wish I hadn't done that'. I'm trying to turn the tide by informing people of the difference, but it's slow going.
I don't find the tranquilizer rifle to be particularly useful. I much prefer just being able to kill the big fish easily, since after you have lifted 3 of them out of the water, you still have to kill them after tranq.
It is all about personal preference. However, I am mainly talking about using the tranquilliser rifle as a means of retrieving 3-star fish - which cannot be done without a tranquilliser gun of some sort!
@@phinqs I seem to find the tranquilizer Harpoon tip almost every dive, so I found no real need to craft the tranquilizer gun before the final Eco-Watch guest.
Once you get the hang of it, you’ll find it easy! I would recommend just focussing on the actual beer and don’t be concerned if the froth pours over the top!
Yes, as you will waste a lot of ingredients by preparing dishes that customers won't eat! I prefer using auto-supply to keep waste at a minimum whilst not having to put in too much effort.
Yeah, wish the game was clear that adding items to the menu was a permanent decision even before you open for the night, its intensely frustrating putting out one fish only to change your mind and then have to throw all that fish away. Or worse get excited for one of the games special food events, set out a whole ass menu then the game skips you forward to the next day and you are without ingredients for the event because you spent all of them upgrading and filling the menu out.
I agree. It happened to me on multiple occassions too. Honestly though, having spent as much time on the game as I have, all these setbacks are easily overcome in a few in-game days. So, I would try not to get too disheartened. The game is actually quite relaxed and does not penalise you too much for mistakes like that. Hope you are enjoying the game!
Yeah, I'm mostly finished with the game, aside from unlocking/upgrading dishes. Its been fun but slow due to my poor system, game could do with more graphics options than just resolution, and even then more resolution options. But it was incredibly frustrating to have to learn that food waste mechanic the hard way since the game explains it pretty poorly to start with.
Thank you for the tips. It is actually when you upgrade to Platinum that you first incur 2,000 gold operational costs per night. This number increases to 4,000 gold per night at Diamond. I recently covered this in my other tips video!
The thing is (mild spoiler ahead) - absolutely none of this is necessary because there's very little to actually work towards when you're in the second half of the game. The loot is so plentiful you really don't need to work at being efficient at all. I frequently wasted fish by not having them fully used up when on the menu, didn't expand the fish farms or utilise them well - still finished the game with an insane abundance of fish, resources and money. It's a great game but it's extremely flawed in a few aspects, that being the biggest one.
I agree to some extent. It really depends on how much you want to get out of the game. If you just want to complete the main questline then you probably do not need to worry about upgrades. However, if you want to see more of the games additional content then I would say it is fairly important to be efficient. Otherwise, you will probably waste a lot of time gathering resources in the end. Additionally, they are still working on more content too!
No - you are doing nothing wrong. The game only allows you to change the second weapon slot. The harpoon gun cannot be swapped out. Therefore, before each dive you must decide which secondary gun you want for that specific dive. Typically, I use the tranquiliser rifle until I have my net gun fully levelled up, then I will use my net gun onwards. However, as you progress, you may be trying to find a specific fish and you will have to choose your gun accordingly.
You are auto-supplying them not cooking them. Basically, you are making those meals available for selection to your customers. I personally auto-supply all of my dishes. The only downside is that some dishes have multiple servings and therefore, it can sometimes be slightly wasteful if you prepare 6 servings for example and only one is bought. Auto-supply is more convenient though, for sure.
@phinqs thanks for the info, thinking about restarting just to get the tutorial down again to be honest. I know you make the menu but then do you select how much of a dish you want or just what is available for purchase?
@@huntshowdown9834 I usually just select a quantity of one, and then turn on auto-supply. Also, the tutorials are not that great at explaining all the available features so restarting won't necessarily help! This game is very relaxed and won't penalise you for taking a few extra days to understand the mechanics so just try to enjoy it.
I've been playing quite a while already but I've not been allowed to Upgrade My weapons yet. It's been frustrating because Im headed towards a Boss Fight with a Shark and the Storm has dumped a Bunch of sharks I struggle against and they've ruined quite a few of my dives because I can't get away from them very easily. so if I put say 5 sushi on my menu and run out if I have it on Auto Supply they'll restock it? That's pretty useful.
Weapon upgrades are not a huge requirement for progression. It is possible to move through the games story without upgrades so I would just try to approach each situation carefully. Try to move perpendicular to the sharks movement to avoid their attacks. Also, yes you can put as many sushi as you like to begin with (even one) and it will automatically be restocked when it runs out. Good luck in the rest of your playthrough!
I am not entirely sure what you mean. However, I think I understand. As far as I know, there is no better way to sort your fish farm than doing each species individually and reserving two of each so that they continue to breed. Hope this helps!
@@Sibuz Oh! The 'Use All Ingredients' button will remove all the fish from that specific fish tank and make them available for use in your restaurant. I recommend manually selecting each species of fish and using all of them except 2-4 so that they continue to breed and create more fish for you. Your farm will be more self-sufficient this way! Generally, you want to keep at least two of each fish type in your farm at all times.
I use kitchen staff too. The most important thing for the kitchen is a high cooking statistic. I was just trying to make the point that you should build your team around your preferences. For example, if you hate pouring drinks, hire staff that will do it for you. I hope this helps!
