An in depth gameplay tutorial on how to survive the first few days in Stranded Deep. Tips, tricks, advice on how to survive and thrive in Stranded Deep. Episode 1.
Welcome all console players!! This tutorial was done on an older version of Stranded Deep for PC, so a few things have changed, but it will still help you figure out the basics. The controls will of course be different on console. Newer features (not shown in this video) include a skill leveling up system, new sharks as well as giant boars and giant crabs that are larger and much nastier than the normal sized ones. Aloe salve's also work differently now - they only last 1 day, so use sparingly or just cool off in the shade or in the water for a while to avoid sunstroke. Fibrous leaves are also in a more limited supply on console, so use palm fronds for the water still if you can. Leave fibrous leaves for making lashings when possible. I also have a Let's Play HARD series where I play on the HARD difficulty setting and it has the newer content part way through, including all the new animals, leveling up etc, so check it out too. Oh, and yes, I know I said Southwest, when the compass was actually pointing Southeast. Mistakes happen!
Build my first raft with two tires on ps4. It keeps tipping over when it's hits the water. The sail is much to big for the ship itself.... Demolished it build it again. Same problem. Rudder doesn't help either
@@ducatiniels Never seen that before. A 1 section raft with a sail is very maneuverable, and can flip if hit by a shark, but it shouldn't just flip over when you place it in the water. Could be a PS4 specific problem, or maybe try waiting until you have an extra raft section you can add to it to make it more stable. Doesn't matter which raft base material you use, just use whatever you have (tires, barrels, buoy balls or even sticks) and attach it to the tire base that you already have. NOTE that you have to attach the additional raft bases as you build them... you can't build them in 2 separate locations and then attach them.
Thank you, I played for nearly 3 hours and was having trouble and getting discouraged. Resources are so limited on these tiny islands, it's stressful! And so are the sharks!!
First question, is the PS4 version older or newer than this? I’m confused. Fibrous leaves kinda scarce in my version on PS4 thou. Only few small palm trees and only 3 yucca trees on this island thou
You literally taught me so much. Thank you. I play The Forest so much, and I've beaten it half a dozen times, so I wanted a new survival game, and I saw Stranded Deep. When I got the game, I knew nothing of the controls or how the game even worked, and it seemed so complicated, but it's really not. Thank you again.
I started watching your "Hard Mode" series, and decided to come back to the beginning to see what new information i could find. Wow dude you have the knowledge. Great job and thanks for all the help!
Just started the game two days ago and I had such a hard time haha Thanks to this tutorial, I've learned many things I didn't know were possible to do!
Phenomenal.. clear and smart. I was doing ok when I initially watched this, but want to start over again and do it even better. I learned a lot from this one video.
Oh my God!! You can drag items!?? Ohh thank you for making my life easier.. the raft, ohh the raft.. I always park it on the middle of the ocean because I can't do anything if it gets stuck on shallow waters.. but you can drag/pull it!?? and also, thank you for teaching me how to use the water still.. at first I put it under a tree, then build shelter for rain spawning.. but yeah, it's the fibers.. thank you again..
Excellent tutorial. The only thing I do differently is that I make the water still first and fish everyday around 11am when the sun is high. I do all my crafting at night. I´m subbing.
Thanks for the video, I’m an experienced long dark player and looking forward to trying the game on Xbox one but saw this and decided to get the feel for the game first, thanks again
Well, if your game just updated to the newest version (0.60 stable), some of this info will be out of date (just FYI). There have been a few changes, but most of the basics are still the same. Now you have to level up in order to build certain items, they've added new content/animals/wrecks, cod now only give 1 piece of meat and a few other things have changed as well. You can see the new info in my Experimental 0.54 series (only 4 videos so far, but I will be adding more soon).
If you like this game may I also suggest The Long Dark, a sole survive game where you've crash landed in the northern Alaska area. You can play the storyline or enjoy several different sandbox modes, which are my favorites. There's also challenges that will give you bonuses you can use, if you want, in your sandbox and challenge play throughs. Cheers!
I so needed this. I'm off in the ocean fighting sharks with a spear. Not even sorted any water out 😂. This game is actually amazing how it teaches real survival skills. 👏
I’ve just picked up this game and had a few hours last night on it so this was extremely helpful, just wondering if there are any other PS4 players who are finding the controls a little difficult and clumsy it could just be me but it seems sluggish compared to this gameplay like when your dropping items or scrolling through inventory, still think it’s a great game though.
We'll be getting this on PS4 on Friday and I'm so glad I came across this! I have a chance of doing better on start-up than I did when I first started Ark, lol. Will definitely be checking out the rest of the series. Oh, and subbed!
Outstanding my friend I’ve been playing this a couple years n I even learned a few things. I usually put a driftwood wedge over the purple starfish along the shore. Then if I forget that joker I can’t step on it.
This is the best tutorial video I've seen yet. I can now play the game and have fun rather than spending time trying to figure out how to play. Thank you.
This video was exactly was I was looking for! In my native language (italian) I really didn't find nothing like it. Keep it up, I'm really loving it! :D
Thank you so much, just picked up this game and had no idea about putting leaves under the water as well as a lot of other basic stuff. Subscribed and looking forward to seeing all your content.
You're welcome. Just be awaare that in the newer versions of the game, a lot of things have changed, and will not be quite the same as they were in the version used for the tutorials.
Me and my mate used to watch him religiously when we were younger and we always said he’d be killed by wildlife of some kind. Never thought it’d be a stingray though. Sad.
@@agoork01 Thank you! I managed to finally build my meat smoker, I finally beat the crabs and boars. I made it to another island with lots of shipwrecks... I set up a second base and have lots of good loot. I also found the shipwreck with the plane that needs to be repaired. Doing great so far! Thank you for your awesome tips :)
You sir, you just made the game a lot more easier! Thx a lot! it’s just that in the game for me, water runs out too fast and so I have to focus on that and so I can’t get any food sadly 😓
Took me a couple hours to get this game, but after that it's so fun. It's like Raft but on steroids. Rule of thumb: make a smoker catch cod in deeper shore like and skin/cook em as you need them, build a smoker, and a water collector. Then make a raft 3 wide for an anchor, rudder, latter a motor and a sail.
Thanks. This was actually my 1st ever youtube video, so I was very nervous and didn't know how to edit the video -lol. I get a bit more polished in later videos :)
This recently came out on Xbox and I'm gonna buy it for the reason you stated at the end it looks like a nice chill relaxing game to play, differing from the relative stresses of the likes of Warzone, Fifa etc. Really nice video man great explanation nice pace made me pull the trigger and buy it.
Thanks. Some people get stressed for frustrated trying to figure out how to play the game, but once you learn how, it is quite relaxing. I have lots of vids to help you out :)
@@agoork01 hey bud me again, quick question do you know if the random world seeds are the same for PC as they are on console and do you know of any good ones been trying to find a started world that is fairly kind in terms of loot. Don't wanna delve into the editor thing just yet
Thank you for showing me how to play the game. I downloaded for xbox and i wasnt very good at first because i would constantly die to hunger or thirst.
Haha this was very helpful. Probably going to watch all your tutorials. I have yet to check lol. But I died on like day two due to poisoning. So. I’m sure these will help
This video was so helpful. I can play any FPS win any battleroyale . But this game I keep dying ! New subscriber here. Thankyou for full breakdown man your awesome!
You're welcome. Note that this is from a year and a half ago, so some things have changed in game now (I cover all the changes eventually, later in the series, or even in the next series).
There are some differences on console, so make sure you read the pinned comment below the video. There may be some other differences as well, but the basics of the game are still the same.
