My biggest tip is don’t be afraid to manipulate time with the game speed setting. Making the days slow while I get social/commission stuff done, but speeding to 3x whenever I need to get materials cooked faster. It helps a lot
Great tips. It's so refreshing to see tip videos come out after someone's played hundreds of hours. That's a selling feature that would be great to see in the thumbnail.
I 100%'d the game a little over a month or two ago, and now that the Animal Whisperer DLC is out and there's been a ton of new stuff, I'm already back playing it. It's so fun.
Binging this game after letting it collect dust for a while and these tips are SUPER helpful. Had no idea about the ability to view all your chests at once or how I used all the upgrade kits I was collecting 😅
I see a lot of tips about naming and sorting chests. So here is my two cents... There is a button the box inventory screen to sort and fill all boxes from your inventory. If there is a stackable item in a box, then everything you have on you will go to that stack. it's important that you do not have identical materials in multiple chests, as this will upset the auto sorting functions. To keep this straight, it's helpful to name chests. The best strategy I have found for naming chests is to name them based on the primary source of what is in them. Each item has a source listed in its description such as processor, grinder, gather, quarry, monster, furnace, etc. just name a chest based off these sources and you're good to go. For most of the game, you will not need more than one large chest for each item type. Exceptions will be relics. For relics, I name the box based on the ruins source. So Relics - Eufala, or Relics - Gecko, etc. For gardening, I keep all the seeds on me at all times so it isn't a hassle. I have a gardening box for the harvested crops. Clothing and furniture may require multiple boxes, since these items don't stack. (If you purchased the summer and formal outfit DLC, accepting these items from the mail will provide you with a large storage box for each group. You can either keep these items in those boxes, or delete them and have two free large storages. The clothing can be repurchased from the boutique store at city hall for 2gols a piece at any time) Again, you aren't really going into these boxes to find things. Stuff is pulled to your machines, snd you can use your machines to check inventory amounts, so the only thing that's important is that you don't have single items in multiple locations and you have quick access to the few things you must have on you to use. I really struggled with this and worried about it at first, but I think doing multiplayer taught me that we really just need to treat it like one giant box.
Your advice is all super great! Just thought I would share some additions. Story Quests advance story Of you feel like things are happening at too fast of a pace, from day to day, you can typically take as long as you want on story (orange) missions. Story missions tend to come in waves after certain events are triggered by previous missions. I like to bang the crafting out asap and then sit on the items for a while before turning them in. This allows me to replenish any materials I used or struggled with. Bloodstone and Clay Early-mid game you are going to have tons of commissions that require bloodstone and clay. Clay seems like a no brainer at first, but it runs out quickly and (as far as I know) you can only get it from Eufala mines. I found myself completely out of it many times, and it's not easy to get a lot of. Best strategy is if you're getting bronze and tin, do at least some digging in the dirt each time to build a stockpile. Bloodstone is also going to be crucial. Quarry the red rocks around your home area for these. These rocks take 2-3 days to respawn. As soon as you get the ore refinery, you can refine stone to get bloodstone and quartz. I keep this running constantly. Refining Machine This was something I overlooked on my first 2 playthroughs during early access. Being able to refine things early on is going to give you an edge in a lot of ways. Upgrading Machines Yes, Always upgrade instead of build when possible, but FIRST...refine the machine to Purple status BEFORE upgrading. This will save you on rarer ores that you'll need and the Purple status stays through each upgrade. The refined machines will allow larger production queues and potentially turn out bonus results or use less resources. Pets The new monster wrangler DLC really breaks this and turns water into an easy grind right off the bat because you can house up to five pets and you can collect them by throwing the meatballs. There appears to be no difference in how much water each pet gives you, so five bumble ants collecting water every ten hours means you're set for life. Not sure how I feel about it because it does remove a major challenge from the game. Sidenote, leading into fishing: pets gathering water also brings back worms and scorpions. You will eventually have so many worms you won't know what to do with them. Much better than buying or gathering them by hand. Sand Fishing Something else I slept on. Get to the advanced sand fish trap asap and refine it to increase its catch area. Doing this will make it much easier to catch large fish and king fish. The king fish sell for minimum 2k gols, and with a larger trap you'll find yourself catching 30-50 regular fish in a day. The larger fish also sell pretty well when you have a lot of them. Grow sandrice, buy salt Sandrice is a fast crop that can be used as fish bate for sandacuda. Dried sandacuda is a huge stamina boost. I buy salt pretty much every day so that I always have enough for this.
When my husband showed me i had to download, im OBSESSED!! I've been really into stardew valley & disney dreamlight valley so this was up my alley & something that isnt as stressful as call of duty 😂 i love ittt & thank you so much for this video! I had no idea about the pets because i mustve missed it but im so excited i had to open it up & start interacting with them more!!
Also in a not weird way 😭 you have such a soothing voice like sometimes I get so irritated by people's voices on videos like this but you have a nice voice :)
Just started playing the game yesterday and I'll admit I had my doubts but this game has my full attention. Thank you for these great tips! I love this game!
you can also press the down button to show all the storage box and what always do is label the box with number and what in side for example 01 material ,02 product etc. this is really helpful since the arrangement run by number order.
My top tips is using the Auto fill button in the storage menu. if you are on console or pc, click the autofill button, then change storage box like the tip provided in the video then click autofill again, and then do it on all the boxes. The reason for this is because we get so many repeat items that stack that you can easily clear out a large amount of your held items without having to organize too much!
Wait what? How have I missed that button? Played My Time at Portia and I am 50 hours deep on Sandrock and this is the first time I see that button 😅 thats going to speed up my gameplay alot (+save some nerves from "what the f is in this chest thats on me right now" moments).
Honestly I played , my time at Portia a lot. Almost every tip you gave was tips I used in mtap. The controls are different. And the fishing is very different. Glad I saw that. I got the dlc with the game on Xbox. And yes, gecko goes after water all the time. It's very confusing finding my way around and finding everyone. The X tip is great seeing I have met fang or X. There seems to be a lot more things you need to do. I appreciate you putting this out here for us.
Small but also very big storage tip: if you number your chests from 01 to 99(I think that’s the highest number you can go with) it’ll be easier to go through your chests. For example I have crafting materials in 01, ores in 02 and so on. So much easier to jump through them i you know where you have everything.
La verdad que estos tips me han soprendido aaaaa. Muchas gracias! No sabía que los mascotas tenían esa función, es muy útil!!! He empezado hace poco y me ha costado encontrar gente que haga contenido del juego en español o inglés. Y este es uno de los que creo que me ha ayudado
My advice that when I first started I wish I knew about you don't gotta be the exact lvls to take on the higher lvl missions you can do them at your current lvl just make you have two things one you build a refiner as soon as possible and refine you gear till it's rare and does the most damage possible two make sure you have all the guns you can get and plenty of ammo for them and always I repeat always stockpile both strong medicine and bullets for both your hand guns and rifle
My biggest issue I'm having getting started is trying to navigate the map. I don't know why (maybe because of all of the stairs) but I get lost so easily. I just spend an entire day trying to find a character for a commission and I eventually ended up passing out because I got so lost. I had a marker on where I needed to go but I did not understand how to actually get to that marker.
Not me on Sandrock online doing the work of 3 people completing personal and coop mission solo when nobody on. Stocking on exhaust pots from the mines. Staying up all the way before it hits 7am. Rub lucky cat statue and exp food buff before completing commissions power leveling like a mad man. I just make sure our workshop is above Yan in rankings, then if I need to take a break and focus on upgrades, data discs, and relations. Min-max play through quite enjoyable in this game. About 7 days irl playtime already at lvl46 workshop vl13
I'm on xbox co-op. And I am not understanding how do I put storages down inside of a house? I can only set them outside out of my toolbar. It is labeled as furniture in my inventory. No where to be seen in already owned furniture tab in home edit. Am I missing something?
Something about having to undergo "medical trials" to get X and Fang to like me just didn't sit well with me early game, which is silly because their storyline is totally worth it.
I totally thought that but then realized it wasn't because you needed to do trials for his affection but more like he's doing trials in order to make better medicine for people and he appreciates your help:)
Oh another thing I like to do is play date with Pen he's definitely useful for fighting the enemies ☺️ it was nice having him protect me from the high leveled monsters I mostly dodged if I was out collecting etc. so my tip is go with someone who fights and not watch you get attacked. Pen usually charges at them before they reach you releasing fists of fury 😂 and space punching Pen. I find him hilarious and I enjoy the sarcasm sometimes, he keeps things fun when bored and I don't find anyone as fast as him to get down to business and throttle the enemies unless you encounter glitches.
@@Killerthemerc Yea I already heard and matter of fact he's in prison now. I'm sorry he's not redeemable and that they experiment on him. However I'm not so thrilled about his collection of women as much as I thought I'd miss him... That definitely warrants a break up, but I've come this far and won't give up till I get the secret relic obtained by staying with him till the end. I'm going for Owen after the whole thing is up. As soon as I get the relic I'll move forward. I've definitely worked hard. I wanted to do this at level 50 but my patience is getting the better of me. I think 🤔 I'm on 47 and I'm going see if I want to go full throttle or hold out. In the meantime I'll deal with the mines. And some commissions so I don't slack however it's already over 30k and everyone else is in the 3k... I'll slow down once the family starts and I gain other priorities.
@@anonedwards you know I've almost beat the game at lvl 46 let me lay down some info on ya the vets for this game said you don't need to be the required lvl to beat the harder bosses once you get your hands on firearms and the first breech grind there for excessive amounts of ammo and strong medicine the machines reset Everytime you leave so if your inclined you could rob them blind and the next time you enter you can do it all over again
@@anonedwards you know can beat the game under leveled right ? You don't have to be at their level it's almost impossible to match every fight on equal terms the devs will always make the bosses much higher level than you pen was easy for me a few rifle slugs and hes down for the count
@@Killerthemerc 😂 that statement about Pen 😂😂😂 it's not that I'm trying to be a higher level than the boss... It's weapons you're able to wield at certain levels. I love the dagger, but I want to see what else I could wield and like. I think there's a sword at level 50 or something. I'm gonna rely on some of the buffs before battle like more critical hits and taken less damage and whatever is allowed in the clothes worn. I wish the dagger was hard hitters but I like all the moves and assume if you're not slow you can get in enough hits to make up for it. What I don't want is a game over 🤔 or not many if it does happen. You do get more hp with levels I would hate if the boss swat me and it's instant game over because it knocked me to 0. I do have weapons I found that hit hard but it's a bit too slow for my liking. So the level is about comfort but I kinda want to go and destroy them. I think I'll practice on monsters but some are getting out of commission in 1 and 2 hits and since the boss won't go down that way. 🤔 I'm not sure if I was in the level 20s but I was attacked by that vulture in the desert and since it hit me first I decided I was going to hit back and be the last one standing. In the end I pulled out the hammer to finish it because it stunned the vulture. I don't remember the drop but I remembered dropping the bird 😂 oh and I'm taking some guns too I managed to get the one from the museum and it seems like a beast in comparison and I'd need shot gun shells. I just watched Shelab and saw you pick up shot gun shells so I'm taking a few guns and saving the last one to plug Matilda since she's not easy to beat. I was expecting to be a builder but if I'm gonna fight I hope to win. I think I might hangout with Unsuur to see if he helps in the fight... Then again I'm hoping for the points to level up.
The pet thing was a "bruh" moment for me I been buying water 😅. I will say this game has no right being as good as it is I've been playing for 3 days and I have been loving it
I've been playing since early access with almost 400 hours and my friend who is completely new to the game (we're playing multiplayer) taught me about machine upgrades. I DIDN'T KNOW. I build so manyyyyy machines. I always wondered what the machine upgrade kit was for. This is a great list of tips!
SPOILER ALERT!!! Do not read if on first playthrough. Unless you don't mind the storyline being Spoiled. One thing I feel you left out is: Be careful for commissions that are placed before you can complete them. Like Chomium Bars. If you have not crossed the bridge do not accept any commissions with chromium bars or metals. It is a guarantee fail if you baven't even began repairs to the bridge.
(I play on Xbox) If you haven't already learned how, when I bought a house from the catalog it came already connected as one big building. However, you can click a buildings base, and then press the button/key for select multiple or "multi-select" (the X button on Xbox) then click on each other part of the building, next click the same button that got you into multi-select a menu pops up and if you click Assemble the things you selected will be linked until you dissemble them. Meaning you can always leave them linked. And move the entire building as you expand your workshop.
Ok so for the life of my I can't figure out how to put stairs in my house I enter my house I press the left bumper on Xbox controller like a video told me to do and there was only pets/picture/planting/quick save I know online there is a house edit but not on single player other then going to Heidi's workshop
You must purchase the home editing kit from Construction Junction or do the home editing from construction junction. To edit from the shop, go to the cash register up by the couches. To purchase the kit, go to the cash register by the door. Use the kit one time and then it will be added to your activity wheel.
After you place the item, press X once to pick up the item, then you can see the controls at the bottom. Left bumper switches between available positions/locations.
Place the ad weekly in the paper to help with different boosts for commissions like rep, gols and exp. I discovered while playing that if you want to try to boost friendship points give the gifts that score the most on holidays and birthdays... Oh the discovery ☺️ so I took the ncp on a playdate for their birthday armed with presents first off you can give a the daily present and sitting on the bench you can give a present if you have enough points but also make sure you save enough to give a total of 3 gifts when you take them to eat at the blue moon. But wait I'm not done yet, if you get the npc to level up in friendship ( the next level that's announced) before you end the date, you can take them out on a date all over again and continue to give, not the daily present but the ones on the date. Trust me I threw a npc on 3 dates back to back and pepper them with gifts and leveled up the friendship to bf. And when I ran out of the ones that scored huge points i had them follow me as I purchased gifts before the sit-down because I don't think if you sit them change your mind you can go back to use the spot. I think 🤔 it's 3 times the points on birthdays i was able to land a total of 7 gifts on the npc and I'm gonna proceed to the next one. It seems like Heidi and Pen are the ones to get friendships up high with commissions. You can also donate 2,000 gols to the temple and score 20 friendship points with Matilda, Burgess, Miguel, and Pen. Try to friend the ones that will help with making purchases cheaper, just check the benefits their friendship offers... Don't feel bad they act like you're the only builder and sometimes seems to forget you're supposed to be a builder and they drive you like a workhorse and force you into stuff so don't feel bad if you want to do a little thing and take advantage of the tiny benefits. I do love this game but I hate when they want to act like they got 2 left hands. Like why are you married and want the builder to feed you 😂😂😂 wait why is there a restaurant did i miss something, there's a store a few steps from you why do you pass it all the time and request me to get it 🤔 for a piece of mind i sometimes purchase some stuff to cut my creating time when I could afford it. Make sure you donate to the museum, I decided to buy everything the could be donated and donate my old tools when I upgrade. I always and still think that church is a cult. And incase you haven't noticed decorate with any extra relic especially the ones that give you boosts... I'm sorry I'm so sleepy right now and can't think of anything else at the moment. I'm gonna test if friending the mayor lowers land prices and make certain you distribute the points when they pop up on the light bulb icon so you can take advantage of the benefits like lowering the price for opening slots in your inventory, less time for your crops to grow and different useful things ☺️ happy gaming ❤️ oh and I hate the update that gives you extra button pushing when you turn in commissions. I'll be happy when I no longer have to worry about gifts.
so I've been playing for a bit and I like to sell easily crafted items for a little extra money. Paper doesn't sell for much but it's so easy to craft. all you need is a drying rack and some plant fibers which you find everywhere. if you constantly make some paper you'll always have something to sell.
Your character looks so pretty. I just started playing, and I need to ask how do you get her to look like that? Will these style options appear later in the game or is it a mod by any chance? :) P.s Thank you for the tips!
You can catch fish without needing food. For the slower ones, just wait close to the path they will take, and launch the trap a little earlier. On sale, in the arcade games, there is a very interesting and huge aquarium to store some fish. I liked the video. :)
Do you think this game much better gameplay wise than previous My Time at Portia game or not? Just curious which is superior I only tried beta version of My time at Portia though.
I keep a stock of everything at 15 so when a commision or quest needs things i dont have to wait so long for my machine to craft it. My machines are always on unless everything has 15. Except bars, i always keep 100 to hand (thats when i know i need to go mining again)
I love this game already, but even at the slowest time it gives, in year one, in fall, I seem to feel overwhelmed trying to finish my commissions each day and have any time for resource gathering afterwards. Time based things have always given me anxiety though.
Let story quests sit for a while so that you have a chance to stockpile materials. Those missions are designed to drain your resources, but they also rarely have a deadline. If you wait on them then the next thing can't happen, so it's a way of slowing down the overall time.
When you’ve done what you need for the day and you’re just waiting on things to build you can go to options and make the game speed 3X until they’re done
These are super good! Wish I'd watched this when I started 😅 Something I don't see talked about a lot is the sandfishing with pets in tow! Sandfishing was touch and go for me before I got more advanced traps, but it turns out pets that follow you while you sandfish will catch their own too and add them to your loot when you exit the fishing. Now I pop in and out of fishing to stock up P.s. adding a variety of relics to your shop and yard get you free friendship points with the npcs everyday❤
Excellent tips to share to beginners in farming simulations. Ive played Rune Factory and Harvest Moon and I know they require you to also have certain things at certain times as well XD so yeah I totally get the importance of making sure that you have a steady supply of material. Also befriending X was fun and now my character is married to Fang and they have two babies, Zen and Fie 😊
Guys if you want more money in sandrock just chat me i have a infinite money glitch location but i don't know if will work to yours because am using crack hehe but not moded clean game and the leastest version sorry tight for money.

This glitch is for mid to late game player hehe😅😅😅 I will explain it more if you want it to😊
This isn't new info it is pretty basic survival 101. Really tip 2 is everything has a time limit ya it says it multiple times at the beginning of the game. Water and pets are explained in the tutorial. I think it is pretty bad that you think you audience is stupid. If it took you hundred of hours to learn this you should not be teaching. Anybody who says these are great awesome omg it changed my game are just simping for you. Sorry to be mean but you should know.
Lol dam yo just hating hard😂 I'm totally new to this game so all of this was helpful. It's on gamepass so I give it a go. Not knowing shit this gave me a bit of know how. An if you haven't noticed people of all ages are playing. Chill yo lol.
