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

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.

[Sennex 2,169]

That sounds awesome!

 

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

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!

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.

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

[Sennex 2,169]

Well crap, I need to move my bonfire. 

 

Its right in the mouth of that copper cave I found

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

[Sennex 2,169]

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

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

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 😂)

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

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?

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 😂
