For the ship combat, you get more stuff from boarding, I’d say it’s mostly worth boarding the haulers/transports, there is a counter in the top right of your screen during the boarding process which tells you how many enemies you/your crew has to kill. Upgrading your boarding crew helps with this a lot. I also agree the xp gain is slow, I do wish you would get it from combat, farming and building as well but I can see how they have intentionally slowed it down to match your exploration which makes sense, it’s just annoying 😂

Two things worth mentioning. There are very limited ways of earning XP, basically quests and POIs / camps. On the map page, at the bottom right you can see how many POIs you've completed on each biome so you can max them out and get all that sweet sweet xp. The other one, and this is a big one, is to always have some building mats on you. Boars don't seem to break through walls, so when facing multiple, you can box some of them in and face one at a time. This trivialized a fight I had to do many times over. Question - ship combat - do you always sink the other vessels, or also board them and wreck them? I've only tried boarding two vessels. One from my tiny little dinkyboat, and the other was the first ship for the quest. On both occasions I was fighting a seemingly endless supply of dudes and eventually gave up. Is there a trick to this or just keep killing them until they stop?

FG Cove is where it's at!! I just sent the deets @Sennex sorry, didn't see the DM

You can build on as many islands as you want and have multiple bases. But, you can only place down 10 fast travel points (not counting the ones that the game just unlocks for you in important locations) so just keep that in mind. In my solo world I’m keeping my original base for now, I might tear it down and move it later, I dunno. On the FG server we have starter bases set up but have moved most workbenches and resources down to the FG Cove where we (mainly Carl, La and John) are building something on a much bigger scale. (I just farm resources like a madman 😂)

Last question, I know you can go to other Islands, so does it make sense to build up on your starting one, or will I end up abandoning this one for a better one later? I don't really view this game like Enshrouded, or Icarus, where you can get away with having one base, but it could be. IDK Boars, Drowned, and Dodo's are still kicking my ass, but I can whip the shit out of crabs

Bruh..... wow, yea, I needed this video

Bartacus watch this vid- https://youtu.be/E0IJZ1xMTco

Can confirm, I didn't mine at all yesterday, and when i hopped in the cave just now, it was all back

Caves may not be affected by it, just seen a video where someone placed it as close to one as possible, I think other resources do get affected by it though, so check before you move it

Well crap, I need to move my bonfire. Its right in the mouth of that copper cave I found

They do if they are outside your bonfire range. I think it takes 6 hours though

Do resources respawn? I doubt it, but I know some games have it. I have a ton of seeds for trees and peppers, but I ran out of clay and copper in my cave.

So they just announced yesterday that the next biome, the Ashlands, will be released in anout 6 months time along with a load of new stuff. There will also be a smaller update soon, no date given, to fix some things and improve stuff as well as adding more building pieces. Here’s hoping we get triangular foundations!

That sounds awesome! I fought a boar last night, and a dodo that attacked me. Then I ate crabs.

So I’m 65 hours into this now. Just unlocked the 3rd biome and I’m working on getting the big bad mother Frigatte. Been grinding silly amounts of resources for that and also for the FG cove that’s in the works. Helped @RenFengge @Tar-Eruntalion and @TurboR56Mini beat the first boss so they could unlocked the 2nd biome, the brig and more crafting starions and recipies. We also finally found the rapier of a thousand cuts 😅 Instantly ascended it and fully upgraded it as the bleed effect is so damn nice to have.

setting up new PC now, and grabbed it. Should be done by tomorrow morning. I have like another 50$ in my steam wallet if there is something else I should get

I'm building FG Cove on the server and I'm always out of wood. We've dumped thousands and need thousands more! But it's dope and everyone will have a room in the "big house". Glad you are liking it, man. Since the characters are transferable, when you want to join, you will be at the level you are.

The charging boars have already been subject to some very funny videos on youtube 😂 Yes you don’t need to chop down a whole forest yet… You’ll get there trust me 🤣 Stick to the ficus trees and the palm trees are a joke in terms of amount of wood you get. I really wish I could have been there to hear you discover the charging boars 😂 Next time join the discord!

So ya. This game is good. After the raging success of Arc Raiders and my inexplicable sudden loss of interest in it, I've been looking for something new to play, with trusty old WoW plugging away in the background, and this is it. It even made me order a new GPU as my current one ramps the fans to 100℅ randomly and then just sits there trying to air-dust the whole postcode. The graphics are good, the combat is very rewarding once you suss it out, the exploration is like nothing else, the crafting and gathering is well balanced unlike some games which will have you chopping down entire forests just to build one fucking door (*cough* Valheim). I've only just finished up the first island and got the first ship, I'm now just exploring the various POIs on the map to get some XP. Really enjoying it, and just when I thought I'd got the boars sussed, the game throws those charging fuckers at me. Cunts.

Yea, I need to get this LOL

It gets better when you get used to parrying them. But yeah, I had a loooot of deaths to them both on the demo and early on in the early access 😂

Gid damn fucking cunting boars. That is all.

Yeah i can't see myself going back. If they ever do a Fallout 3, New Vegas remaster, or Elder Scrolls 6 (won't hold my breath) I'll just buy the games themselves.

Ah, I did wonder how you could play DayZ on console lpl Nice one, I like laptops just afraid of the heat 🫠 I've picked this up now as i have no chill, so I'll be joining too 👊
