Another tip is to not upgrade weapons you find. Weapon you find isn't a weapon you own, so you can't repair them. Only upgrade weapons you can make yourself since then it will say you own the weapon and can repair it.
Best tip from me : get the festering gel deviation, each time you use him , he gives u full hp and all your insanity is removed, also return it to the cradle early so u have him again faster.
Wow! You don't know you can move your ENTIRE base!? YES! Every 10 min you can move your ENTIRE base, intact, for free!!! Just go to a buildable zone, Press B, then Z. Then you will see your ENTIRE base. Press ` (the key to the left of 1) to enter fly mode. Place your base and enjoy!!!
I love building so I went across the street from a friend who pulled me into the game and there was a butte, a rocky fat pillar of rocks and grasses and a few trees on top, and I wrapped my house around it getting to the top where I had a wonderful rooftop space with a great view of the sea and the farms inland. I played about 18 hours just learning the game, unlocking stuff. I then placed that star dust generator thing and below me a lot of nasties appeared. By the time I had fought them all off, half my house was destroyed....never saw it coming, no one told me about that, never saw any YT videos mentioning it...until now. I wish i had watched this video YESTERDAY!!!!
@@TokeThenJoke I was too busy wondering what the hell it did and popping purple blobs in it to notice. Are they coming directly for this machine? If I took it outside the house and encased it in seperate walls, would they go for it and leave the house alone?
maybe someone mentioned it further down maybe not, but...the very first thing to do is at character creation screen, there is a small human icon in the lower right corner, you can mouseover it to see additional info about stats and perks you get depending on how you make the character (big-smal, thin or fat) which affects gameplay.
Another tip: - Dont refine portable gas into premium gas for your vehicle, it's less efficient. - Dont repair your vehicle until health bar turned red, the repair cost stay the same either 1% damage or 90% damage. - Dont put all Eclipse Cortex into purifier all at once, your defence might fail fighting large waves. - Destroy your purifier after successful base defence. The drop is spawned inside the machine.
This. Especially when you pencil in how making Stardust Source requires regular portable gas as well with the stardust ore, once you turn it into premium fuel its SO inefficient. Anyone whoever makes stacks of them and puffs their chest about being oil tycoon just to turn it into premium gas, I *laugh*.
If you hunt rabbits you can get a deviant that collects meat and hide. Also you should stack up on acid as that's a late game Ressource for a lot of stuff, you can make food that increases acid gain
I love f2p grind games. Going into this one i already knew what to do. Im in the second section atm and i built my base right in between 2 major strongholds and literally as close to the waypoint as possible. Got me a beautiful mountain sode view now, a garden, 12 deviants and ita going good. I love the difficulty progression. I was scared id get bored of slicing up zombies all day. So far, one of the better f2p games ive played in a long time. Thanks for the videos fam
@@JohnJeyaPratama the beginning is supposed to be somewhat easy to not scare off new players... giving them time to learn the game and build up... it makes sense you dont want to make it too hard.
I played a similar game on Android but it was PvP hardly anybody was friendly & the game used to spawn bots every time u get out of ur base to attack u, for the longest time i thought i was being ambushed by players😅 Players that have unlocked higher lvl weapons & armour would become annoying to deal with but they weren't unkillable, u could also upgrade ur wooden base walls & flooring to higher grade like bricks, stone, metal & so on which made it harder for players to attack ur base to steal ur loot/crates, which meant they had to use explosives & stuff, i enjoyed building my base a lot i built it like a maze, my main entrance was a decoy with crates inside behind a hidden wall with random junk & some decent loot hoping they would leave, i had to build a ladder & remove a few walls & traps every time I wanted to get into my base😅
That's how I did too, built me a stone castle 5 stories on a cliff with a separate tower for the generator, then just stand on the roof and shoot fish in a barrel.
This game snuck up on me from out of nowhere lol. Wish i had beta tested it and got some of those sweet rewards. Great game so far. Shattering my expectations of F2P games with Gacha mechanics. Let's hope they don't mess it up.
I dont think setting your base up on nowhere is a mistake. Actually it is better to set it up somewhere where u gonna be able to get something in specific instead of getting somewhere, because at the end you still gonna TP, and getting close to bases is not good if you just gonna defeat the monolith and move to the next one. For me it is a mistake to be close to a base or tp. Your home is an extra TP. Also, way better to srt it up on a polluted area so you can get acid easily 👍🏼 And energy links are way easy to get, i craft T5 stuff everytime and make acid with sulfur and energy links and still have like 300k each time while selling silver/gold ores or the chips
7:54 if your backpack has a light flashing like this you can use your finger snap (default Q) and find a hidden enemy that will drop a chest with great loot.
If you destroy the supports of your base, all benches and structures refund their their mats, including stored mats in chests, to the vault! So you can ver6 quickly breakdown and then build from scratch. Make sure to save a blueprint of your base first so you can restore it if you want.
@@yahikonightray5398 go into your build menu, one of the far right tabs you'll see blueprints just click on an empty one and click the save blueprint button.
The base location tip is moot as soon as you unlock farming. Melt gravel to glass and start collecting orange seeds. I've basically hit the selling cap with all of the vendors and it is only tuesday. Orange Soda.
Ok good tips buuuuuttt. Here’s mine for new players. You will get a plain for the (throwing daggers) just like the bow you can get them back form kills but unlike the bow THEY HIT HARD for no reason. Body shoots are 900 an head shoots are 1200+ I used them all the way up to the spider boss and they did not let me down. There really cheep to make to only 2 scrap an 1 wood.So ya I say from level 1-25 there great to use
I tried that a few days ago and I couldn't get it back so I kept on using the xbow instead.. will give it another shot, maybe that was just one of those unlucky situations
Early on i made 5 but forgot to use them because the crossbow worked great for me & i couldn't get much metal scraps early game so I decided not to use them but I'll try making & using them next time i play, thanks for the info
Re the Ammo, steel ammo just needs the ingots, no stardust resource, and with a few digby's you'll have almost infinite steel and the % damage buff is decent, no reason to stick with copper :)
My suggestion is to find one of the boss encounters in the world, build your base near it and just farm it. Dunni what daily max is, but this makes sure to hit it
Biggest mistake early is not using the crossbow for elite and bosses as well as melee weapons for mobbing. Carries all the way to lvl 40ish. That's all new players need to know tbf ^^.
@@faru4182 You can even melee bosses if you want to but it's overcomplicated, hurting and not fun untill they are in a down state. Then again at level 40ish I changed my build to play the stuff I wanted to play and since then everything is childsplay.
At level 17 I have been running around in level 28 zones 3-4 hitting mobs with starting machete and using m700 to kill stronger enemies lol it's so easy the ai in this game are dumb af
Some really important stuff that was not mentioned in the video and fixing some of this tips: - Energy currency (base location): spend at will, the video don't take in consideration that soon you unlock the golden memetics to make chips, silver and gold bars. It will supply more than enough energy for you, it's the most easy to get currency in the game. It is only rare if you only consider the rewards from quests and dungeons, but the game has some op mechanics to farm energy with this golden memetics. - Auto farming: I also made this mistake of stacking digby boys, they and the beavers appears to be really good, but when you have chainsaw and drill unlocked, they are almost useless. My 5 digby boys take one day to farm what I get in 2 minutes. I recommend to use all digby boys that you have, but don't waste time going after silver ores as I did. - Important resources: yeah, rawhide is important, but you can easily come back at any point in the game and farm it. The really important resources you should worry about is the ones you get from scrapping stuff and looting, like electronics, scrap metal, acid, rubber, etc. This ones you will need during the whole game and you actually need to go and explore places to get, if you are re-exploring the same place, the rewards are lower, so even tough they are not limited, it gets progressively harder to farm those, so don't waste too much of them, like crafting every tier of every piece of armor and weapon. Or wasting them on those defenses early in the game. Keep as many as this as you can. - Fuel: If you are playing objectively, just going from Loot Point A to Loot Point B, and not just travelling for fun, you will never run out of fuel, specially after you unlock refinery. I'm level 50 and never had to go farm fuel, just the one's I get from general looting are more than enough
FYI, the specializations for gold and silver bars and the composite chips to sell are all RANDOM. There is zero guarantee that a player will get any of them, much less two of them. The only guaranteed way to get energy links, other than scavenging them, is really to craft food/drinks from everything you pick up and sell the food/drinks. Almost everything can be cooked using some recipe so it's well worth taking the time to queue it all up and them just mass sell when it's done.
If you go into build option if you have the materials you can just replace the wooden walls with brick, etc. without demolishing and rebuilding from the ground up. saves you time plus it gives you the wood back.
Thanks for the tips, these are great! On the sanity meter, you can also rest in a bed to get it back up, so save those sanity gummies for when u really need them
@@SToL_82 I'm just starting to really dig into the cooking part of the game. The different modifications and the cookasaurus make for a lot of different options
Small tip. Sprint can be switched from hold to press once in options. You don't have to hold the button non stop that way. Tip 2 check car wracks near roads. That's how you get fuel. The less travelled/non main roads have more fuel. Tip 3. Once you beat the first monolith there is a chance to get a gel deviant. That boy doesnt attack but works as a baricade you can hide behind. He also HEALS you and recovers SANITY when you stand near him. Amazing way to save on healing early game.
@@elvysvalerio15 Settings>mouse/display. Switch tab from "gameplay" to "control". At the top in the key bindings section you have an option for sprint.
Regarding link energy, atm im on 100k+, you can get one of omni specs into crafting combo chipset which sells for 12k per one sold and mats to craft it are plentiful and very easy to get. It takes 60 sec to craft one. You can craft them for other ppl as well so if you in decent hive/warband you just need one person to have it. To sell it for link energy got to any vendor in any settlement and sell/trade it. With phase 1 you have access to 3 vendors currently. Ofc vendors have limited amount of link energy (i think it will reset as wel) but when you buy items from the vendor the link energy can be reclaimed by selling the combo chip again. So in the end teleporting aint matter for me. Other tip the logs are becomes obsolete as soon as you get electricity and you progress to higher levels. Make sure to upgrade base from wood to stone and higher later on for purification events. Regarding ammo, human enemies drop gunpowder and with bit of copper/steel ingots you got return from what you use to craft which equals your point with xbow (use what you like) What i absolutely agree is the lack of hides, the material im always lowest. As well with electricity you can automate lots of system. What i recommend is placing base next to sea water (salt), river lake (fish) You can rename your storage boxes (when you open the box on top is edit button) You can as well access preset base blueprints if you dont like building and store bp (blueprint) of your current build as well (name it etc and see the cost of it).
My tip : If you enjoy playing the game and you want to keep playing for a long time, consider buying something. I know its an F2P, but servers and everyone involved in the game's development requires money to keep the lights on. P.S. I'm not from the company. I'm just a developer who plays video games. I know how hard it can be to convert an idea into lines of working codes.
NetEase is a big Chinese company. They own many games. Buy if you want to buy, play if you want to play. Life is unfair enough, depending where you get spawned you actually earn less than a homeless in the 1st world countries.
I've spent so much money on this game already just because of how good it is. Mostly to support it. Some of the things I bought did look super nice though! Bought the glass house pack on like 4 characters (waiting for the merge to get the extra credits back to likely buy the rest of the stuff) I'd say if nothing else, buy the battlepass and maybe the membership. That's like $10~ a month, helps the company and gives you a lot of good value
I've been playing The Division 2 for some years now so I catched up pretty quick on some of this game's mechanics. The copper ammo thing I was like "do I really want to sacrifice the scarce yellow rarity material I have for just 4% more damage at level 10? No I don't"
In regards to the base/town teleporting and running out of energy link cash (the currency you use to fast travel) you actually get a perks that allows you to craft microchip sets, gold, and silver for fairly cheap that sell for 6-12k energy link so the energy link cost is not to hard to get ahold of
@@haroldxd4177 I think they actually just call them chipsets but I could be mistaken I'm not sure anyways it's an item that you're able to craft if you get the memetic specialization for it and they sell for 12,000 energy links apiece
@@MrGrimordI'm glad it doesn't throw it in your face. Learning game mechanics used to be the best part of games. Having your hand held is great for a certain audience, but I ain't it lol
A great tip is to get a Festering Gel deviant, of which you get at the first mono boss. It heals both hp and sanity. Once I got it, I have not used any healing or sanity items, it is just that good. A trick to make it better is to put it down to heal, then once you are full you recall it. The way deviants work is it will recharge from where it was deactivated at. So if you use 25% of its power then you will only need to recharge that 25%. And that 25% power will heal about 50% of your hp. If that did not sell you on it, it also heals your team.
Here is one more tip that is a little later but I dont see many people doing. Is to get the Harveseed deviant for you base. You get it from the second mono. It gives you a component for something called living armor. It's effect is simple but powerful, if you fall below 20% hp it will fully restore your hp. Then it has a 10 min cool down. So if you mess and normal would of died instead you will get a cheap secound chance. Same with a boss battle. Or if you want to do pvp you will have 80% more hp for the fight.
A quick note you do not get weapon Fragments from Bosses you only get the weapon itself. you cant repair it tho. They said in CBT they might do it but it was scrapped!
For generating Rawhide/meat, farming Lethal Rabbit is absolutely essential to me. You have to skin rabbits (beaches to the south/southwest are great for this) to get the drop. It's about a 1% drop rate but it is totally worth it. Generating rawhide all day as well as assorted meats (which I use currently to make jerky).
Agree on everything except where you show how to rebuild the house. If you build off the original structure the foundation will be perfectly aligned with the boundary. If someone rebuilds like you showed, they will be misaligned and be even more upset. As you stated, plan accordingly so you don't have to rebuild, but if you do, be certain to build off the original foundation.
Some tips to mid-late game Have a farm of some size. Why? ALCOHOL. Not only they hydrate a lot, but they give sanity back AND for half hour, your sanity won't drop except from few sources like the torchheads lights.
The hands-down easiest way to restore sanity in the game is to build a bed in your base and lie in it. This also restores your health (which saves you on activators) and doesn't take long at all to completely restore your health and sanity with practically no resource drain in the process (other than the logs and cloth that went into the bed obviously lol). Alternatively, grilled mushrooms restore sanity, so if you're finding more mushrooms than beets, that might be viable for you.
@@Terashi it's only a rare (blue) food item. Just water and flower. different flowers give slightly different boosts, but at base level it's +50 Hyd, +400 San. Maybe you just need a memetic or something?
@@NathanRitchie Okay yeah I haven't found any collectible flowers in the game yet. To be fair, I've only been playing for a few hours a day so I haven't gotten very far into the game.
all solid tips 👍 another I'd add is if you're running low an energy links (since you need it for everything from leveling up to upgrading stuff), there are merchants that you can sell to. I didn't know about it for the longest time since there is no one who will buy your crap in deadsville, but there is one in Meyer's Market. they have a cap on how much you can sell but that refreshes after so many days (i believe a week) so try to get all those links before it resets (in my game it was some 50k per week you could make). you can pick the crops at meyers market and sell for a small sum or cook it at your outpost for a heftier sum (usually 10 per raw and 15-20 for cooked).
@@Bjornnoo you do eventually have to gamble for fragments so you can upgrade your blueprints... but that comes after you have all the legendaries you need.
Run cables for convenience, same with pipes, as you can press L in the build menu and hide them. No need for anything other than a redundant path in case you lose a wall. I'd also recommend keeping the footprint of your building a touch smaller, helps when relocating it as you don't need as much ultra flat ground. I'm about to trigger the resonator to get the season goal but otherwise I've had no need for defence yet but I've already placed stone fences around the outside of the foundations as a sacrificial layer and made sure I have the Tinkerer identity for 100% extra stone structure durability. I may have spent a little time in survival crafting games in the past... :P Love the game though and some nice tips, especially about the ammo. So many resources wasted and the only reason to craft anything other than copper at the moment is steel rifle ammo for turrets.
I hope they really bring this to console even though I don’t have the spare time to game I use to when I was young I still enjoy nice grind game like this
Ya.. make sure you blueprint your house. When you are purifying your stardust, them nasties will literally destroy your house if not careful. Make blueprint just in case.
As for the base placement you can move your whole base every 10 minutes. Dont believe it costs anything, but havent looked into it or if it stops/changes plant growth or deviant mood.
Instead of sleeping in your bed use the festering Gel it heals and cures sanity takes no time at all, in fact you can save a lot of activators by using the Festering Gel between fights. Even in fights it can block enemies and heal you, Best utility Deviant.
The auto miner are great, but they are so slow. I'm at a point now where I got a Solar Drill from a teammate with 15% and 100% bonus on ores, and, oh buddy, I'm hammering a bunch of copper ore away for 30 seconds and have literally 1500 of them in my pocket. It mines so fast the ticker on the left side of the screen isn't stopping for the next 1 1/2 minute. And the best is, it repairs via solar. Auto mining is dirt against this.
A couple of things….. first, in regards to the purifier, don’t build it near your main house. Build it as far away as possible so that for the most part, the things will ignore your base. Second, you can save a blueprint of your base at anytime and use it to rebuild if you don’t for some reason build the purifier away from the main base.
You don't have to destroy your base to rebuild, you can overlay higher tier walls/floors/etc over lower tier in place. As long as you start with a square 3x3 base, it's easy to add on. My tip: early on, leave a hole in the center of your ceiling (roofing is decorative, ignore it early. ceilings add a second floor) Put a rain collector or two indoors. Since you have a hole, you don't need stairs (which suck to place and eat space) to your roof, just a boost to climb up to a second layer of space
Beaver is honestly a waste once you have the chainsaw. One tree will give hundreds in mere seconds when logged while the beaver only givinga fraction of that after a full day. There are better deviants for that unit than beaver.
10:48 I think the radio has to be on a station playing music because I had the radio 📻 on the bottom station and it didn't give me the check mark and when i changed it to the classical station it gave me it
You can also unlock the rpg blueprint and then use the reclaim button to get your points back and still have the blue print for the rpg and you’ll get your points back
1 tip my server does not no, when you cut down the big ass thick tree using the chainsaw, you get between 490-600 wood, i usually get 550, but, its not the trick, where you cut it from is the trick, if you cut it from the side there are no matts and on the other side there are lot of ore vines, when the tree falls and hits the ground it will break all the ores and you will get 2 birds in 1 cut.
I honestly want to say, that this game is just fun for me. I have played so many games, elden ring ,skyrim, world of Warcraft, league of legends, etc. I never had the itch scratched, but this game does it for me.
Biggest tip never discard anything in game. Even if you are overweight and need to drop a bunch of weight. The go to move is to sell it for astral dust. First click is I for inventory, then the dreamworld icon in bottom right.
For making a base, if you put your base near a cliff. During purification, the enemy will spawn on the cliff, which they will have no way of going down from there.
13:55 as for the gas, cars in dirtroad will have more gas than cars in main road. for RP standpoint is because cars in main road has been looted by the world
16:00 another useful trick with sanity - if you have a fridge, make ice before going out somewhere and you won't need to farm beets / sugar, although ice spoils very quickly
i just started and i carfted little bit of the AP ammo but I realized that gotta be waste of stardust even when I don't know what is used for but since it looks like rare material I cant use it for something so expendable like ammo, really good video especially about the autofarming tips I'm definitely going to implement that
I have a tip for you @CreativeGaming. WHEN YOUR CRADEL IS FLASHING LIKE THAT THERES A MEMETIC MYSTERIOUS CRATE MONSTER NEAR YOU. Please Press Q, kill it, get the loot. And you probably can't build in certain areas in your current base because you can't build on its spawn. Lol that flashing backpack was driving me nuts. I know you did that on purpose.
If you take one of the specializations that let you craft high-value items, base location no longer matters. I have over 125K links at level 50 and I will be buying out all of the vendors again today because I've been grabbing silver and gold while grinding tungsten.
Fire rate does not come from the bullets it’s done with configuring the weapon, bare in mind to unlock tiers you need ammo and a gun to take on a large deviant to earn XP and chippers rtc
Thanks...good info except I disagree on the gas statement. Using a vehicle is actually bad for your game un that your not going to stop for materials and others as much. Every game I've played with transportation always gets harder when you unlock it due to skipping so many materials
You can only have 10 or so isolation chambers for tour work force, right? I mean if your going to have that many devients around, or is there something I don't know and you can have more chambers.
Agree with most tips except crossbow it's cool and all but you can just melee if you wanna save ammo the revolver or sniper is a significantly better option early on for killing enemies because you one shot or 2 shot headshot them. Ammo should never be an issue if you are killing enemies and looting you will get plenty of acid which is the hardest part of ammo to get and you can kill more then one enemy at a time before reloading. Esp if you have the overdrive pistol option that reloads when you headshot.
i thought i could just reset my memetics at any time to get building advantages without realizing it costs a ton of exp points and now im level 20 with not enough points to finish my memetic 💀
No 1 tip.. don't join an asian server, unless you can read/write in their languages. Once you create a character you cannot delete it or move it or anything.
Crafting Ammo: Yes and no. Copper is good not only for T1, but everything else. Unless you have an abundance of the next tier's mat, don't worry about it. The dmg increase isn't much. It's mostly noticeable on bosses where the 10% increase actually adds up over time. Mobs'll die one way or the other. Instead of takin you 2.7 bullets to kill it, it's going to take 2.2...you still need to shoot it 3 times to kill normal mobs, it's the same. Autofarming: More Traits = more spec abilities it has = more farming/dmg. Last part is wrong. There are negative traits. Base Building: Nothing wrong with this one, it's just important as fk so please watch it lol.
Energy is not a problem you can sell ores or crops you grow/gather for energy. Stardust source you can get by Eclectic forge smelting stardust ore you find near corrupted zones.
same i sell stuffs even food since i got farm.. tier 4 items rn. but im remaking my base. since from the start i have it like 7x7 which is pretty big gonna tone it down to 5x5 then maybe 3 floors which is easier to defend.
I can place my base anywhere and teleport knowing fruit tea exists to sell in bulk at the vendors in each town. Energy cred is a thing I don't worry about.
U can make copper bars and u can go sell them in the trader they have a weekly amount of money they will let u sell it for. easy way of getting energy points every day
