For those who want to play my mod: if you're totally lost in combinations, there's "combinations.inf" text file under mods\Stranded II\sys, I tell this because I forgot myself how to make a tent in my mod. Go grab the nearest weapon (since it's still in alpha I let you use arbalest which is underwater near shore, don't miss iron bolts, they are near arbalest but are hard to spot). Just note that arbalest has > 5 sec. reloading time and lions are twice faster than you. So you'd better hide and shoot. Hit'n'run no longer works as before.
Get 10 skins and 10 branches for your first tent. But I'd suggest for all the newcommers to come to the village, you can see it on the map. The elder in the village will show you the position of all metal ores on the island. Also if you've got clam from shore you can trade with civillians with clam.

branch + water? wow... i owuld have never thought about that. now i think i can start making arrows. normal ones, dnt know how to make other kinds. but they should still be good. after the first island. will there be any place where i can settle?

[Deon]

I think "normal" ones require pebbles for arrowheads.
Also, digging+fishing is a really good combo.

Dig up some worms and fish for... fish. Fried fish is very nutrient and easy obtainable, and you dig for pebbles and mushrooms too.
With these skills >50 you won't starve anywhere near water.

[Dragooble]

you dot need pebbles for arrowheads i think.

[andrea]

wooden arrows don't need pebbles. but arrows does.

i found this on the third island, when i found a bow+arrows.
if i find the one who thought it would be fun to put these things on the third island... (not bow and arrows of course. the kind of animal that is tehre)

[beorn080]

Stick + Feather = wooden arrow
Pebble + Stick + Feather = arrow
Wool (not cord) + Stick + Feather = Fire arrow
Finally I believe
Poison + Stick + Feather = poison arrow
Poison is I think
Poison mushroom + Stone = poison

Note that if you build defense towers near lion stones and have the arrow retrieval skill from hunting, you can get hundreds of thousands of free wooden arrows. Ok, maybe not that many, but more then you will ever use.

Third Island in adventure mode is meant to be a tree hopping affair IIRC. Get into the trees and avoid confrontation. Bringing fire arrows is very helpful since everything but rocks can burn.

[andrea]

you are wrong about poison arrows. i tryed.

the third island... trees you say?
machinegun bow i say.

found a strange bow (goldenbow i think) and 300 normal arrows there i just went and started shooting. but i lost everything now, i have an hut, and there is a strange old man that i would like to kill. but it is impossible and i need him.

[beorn080]

Oh yes, an interesting note. Fire arrows make great log farming implements if you don't feel like swinging an axe a 50 times a tree. Just find a stand of palm trees and hit each tree with one fire arrow, and about 24-48 "hours" later they will die and leave you a log. Also works great if you want to clear cut an area for garden or kiwi hut purposes.

Wow, now I see the view of Fire being an all-important invention as true!

How else could our ancestors clear cut?

[andrea]

fire... lets see how it works on people 

[Deon]

Thank you for the info on fire arrows. I'm going to fix it so dead trees drop coal instead.

also I'm going to revamp some stupid things, i.e. a knife which weights more than spade etc.. Also roasted fish and meat (especially fish) should make you want to drink and not decrease the thurst level. I will get to it too.

[sonerohi]

Oops! I only read to about page 2 or 3, so I idn't know all about Deon's mod, when I made my post about invalid donwload, etc., I was talking about the 'nilla game.  .

[andrea]

never, never sow 40 crops in the same place. bad things happen.
be ready to take your slingshot.

now, lets wait till i have the rbead i need...

[beorn080]

You can safely farm hemp in massive quantities. Only grain has problems.

[Deon]

For those who missed it.

Island Quest (still in alpha)

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In two words: it revamps the building system (less reagents of some type, more of another... for the sake of a common sense) and adds a LOT and a pretty big island for you to survive, with a few unique features and a HFS.
