Survival Tips[]
Regular Survival[]
- Creating bread in this game is very important. Not only does it allow you to be well fed, but it also allows you to train up with the native on the island, which is an important part to advancing in the game.
- In Stranded I, there is a legitimate way to win the game when playing in a normal mode. You must continuously build structures until you're able to unlock the sail raft. This allows you to bypass the invisible wall that goes along the ocean, making it so that once you sail a certain distance away from the island you win the game.
- If you can find your way up upon trees, rocks, or other objects, predators will not actually be able to reach you to attack. This gives you a very good vantage point to attack them from.
- If your path is ever blocked by dangerous objects such as poisonous flours or spikes, you can bypass them by walking on trees above.
