FarSky : Full Guide on Everything

A complete guide on everything you will find in Farsky. Providing enough information for you to know everything you will need to know in the game in under 10 minutes.

NOTE

This is my 2nd guide, I will come back every now and then to edit it, and I have already edited it multiple times. The only reason I will edit it is to fix grammer/spelling, and improve the 'flow' of the guide.

Farsky: The game

Farsky, a survival underwater open-world game. The game has multiple modes, and has a story to it. The game is fairly short, I would only recommend getting if it is $5 or less. All the maps are randomly generated, and each map will be different as a result. I can't say I recommend the game at its full price, but it certainly gave me a nice 10 hours of fun.

FarSky : Mining

As it is a survival game you will need resources to progress through the game.

Iron: The most basic resource to gather used for bases, equipment, and weapons.


Gold: A rare resource that appears on the map. Used for a few useful things such as better equipment.

Copper: A resource used for furniture, bases, even better equipment, and weapons. This ore appears on a slightly lower level than iron and requires an iron helmet to be reached.


Manganese: A resource found in the deepest part of the survivable ocean, used for overpowered items such as overpowered drills, used for armor and gear, and other useful things such as harpoon cannons. Requires a copper helmet to reach.


Crystals: A risky resource to get. Once you mine it the Kraken will attack you. Or if you go back to your base straight away, your base that you worked hard on will soon be attacked by the kraken and will be flooded with soggy potatoes. (not really but it will be flooded)


Silver: The rarest resource in the game can only be found in deep sea areas requiring a copper or manganese helmet. Used for overpowered extractor and overpowered drill (which is overpowered as the name suggests)


Coal: An uncommon resource found anywhere in the ocean (rarely found on bottom layers). Used for cooking or smelting items.


Sand: A common resource found everywhere on the top floor of the ocean used to smelt into glass and craft glass into glass walls for your base.


Dirt: A common resource found everywhere used for plant pots (AKA farming)


Extractor: A item which automatically mines for you, very slow but worth it. I mean do you really want to be staring at iron ore holding down mouse1 button all day?


Drill: A basic drill which you can find in your base (adventure mode or survivor mode only) when you first start the game. Drills mine faster than extractors, yet a tad slower than overpowered extractors.

FarSky : Seaweed

Seaweed has a few uses, such as energy spheres and bandages.

Seaweed: Found on any floor of the ocean. Provides only seaweed and fertilizer.


Energy Seaweed: Found in the mid-floor of the sea. Drops a few energy spheres, some seaweed, and fertilizer.


Deep Seaweed: Found in the deepest parts of the ocean. Provides tons of energy spheres, some seaweed, and some fertilizer.


Bandages: Used to stop bleeding, being attacked has a %15 of causing you to bleed. One bandage is needed when you are bleeding. When you bleed you attract more and more predators, so be careful!

Energy Spheres: Used for stunning spears, repairing drones, and for a hopefully more things in the future.

Fertilizer: Used to make plant pots.

Seaweed inside a base (seaweed grows back when you chop it down) be wise where you place your base!

FarSky : Food

Hunger is a relatively easy issue to solve, using either plant pots or hunting fish.

Farming: A simple way to get lots of food. Harvest and plant with E. Plant crops such as potatoes on plant pots, and then simply wait until fully grown.


Potatoes: A simple crop, its a potato.


Carrots: A crop that is found in shipwrecks, leaking/abandon bases, and chests.


Green Beans: Found in the same places as carrots.


Hunting: A more risky but fast way to obtain food.

Cooked Food: Made by cooking raw meats or crops.

Cooked Shark Meat: shark meat. -%50 hunger (-%15 uncooked)

Cooked Fish Meat: Nice classic fish meat. -%25 hunger (-%5 uncooked)

Cooked Potato: Cooked potatoes! -%25 hunger (-%6 uncooked)

Cooked Carrot: Cooked Carrots! -%20 hunger (-%5 uncooked)

Cooked Green Beans: Cooked Green Beans! -%8 hunger (-%2 uncooked)

FarSky : Weaponry

Weapons are essential for fighting enemies and for hunting. There are only two actual weapons types in the game, the knife, and the speargun. All items below can be crafted at the Weapons Workshop.

Knife: The knife requires 8 iron to craft. Does 2 damage each, perfect for hunting fish.

Speargun: Used to fire harpoons, which are not cheap to craft. To equip harpoons scroll over them in your inventory, and click on them. Equip the harpoon using the option and it should be loaded.

Types of harpoons

Iron Harpoon: a simple harpoon requires 3 iron to build. *deals 3 damage*

Iron Stunning Harpoon: a more advanced harpoon, requires 1 energy sphere and 3 iron to build. The only thing different about the stunning harpoons (aside from more damage) from the normal harpoons is that it has a critical hit change of 30%, dealing significant higher damage then its base damage. *deals 5 damage*

Copper Harpoon: Same as iron but requires 3 copper to build instead of 3 iron *deals 8 damage*

Copper Stunning Harpoon: Same as iron stunning harpoon but requires 3 copper instead of 3 iron. *deals 10 damage*

Manganese Harpoon: Final and best tier of harpoon, 3 manganese to build. *deals 13 damage*

Manganese Stunning Harpoon: Same as the other stunning harpoon but requires manganese to build *deals 15 damage*

FarSky : Enemies

Enemies are the biggest obstacle in the game, making you have to wait until day or kill the enemies. Once one of them starts attacking you, you are done for.. unless you happen to have a weapon. At night creatures such as sharks will immediately start attacking you the second they spot you. Going out at night is dangerous without a weapon to defend yourself.



Sharks: We all probably met these enemies, there are two kinds: hammerhead, frilled, and great white. Like most enemies they are attracted to blood, so don't go killing fish. They're the most common enemy found on the very top sea level . All of them only attack at night (unless threatened), except for the aggressive Hammerhead Shark.



Angler Fish: Found one level deeper than the top sea level. An Angler Fish does more damage and has more health than sharks and hammerheads.



Frilled Sharks: Found at the same level as Angler Fish.



Kraken: A horrible creature that if attacked will anger other neaby Kraken. Another way of it being angered is by a you mining a nearby. The Kraken are harder to fight than any other creature. Kraken are found around the explorable bottom of the sea.

Jellyfish: Jellyfish are found in large groups. Jelly fish only have about 1-2 health and can be killed with a knife in one hit. Jellyfish are normally found in the bottom of the explorable sea.



Electric Fish: Electric fish are found at the bottom layer, be careful they can shock you and cause a great amount of damage.

FarSky : Bases

Expanding your base is always fun, its like getting a bigger house. Here are some basic steps to follow to start expanding your base.



Here are buildable structures that you can choose to make at a workshop to expand your base.

Floor: Basic item to expand your base, requires 3 iron to make.

Glass Walls: Used to make windows in your base. Placing them is as simple as placing them on an existing wall to make it glass.


New Base: To make a new base you will need: 1 crystal , 50 iron, and 2 gold.


Harpoon Cannons: Shoots harpoons at the enemy you are currently fighting/any nearby enemies. Harpoon cannons do 3 damage each hit, requiring 10 copper, 25 manganese, and 1 gold to build. Harpoon cannons are built on the sea floor and sadly can not be placed ontop of your base.


Small Chests: Small chests are cheap and store 6 items, making them ideal for early game.

Large Chests: Large chests can store up to 12 items, twice that of small chests.


Workshops: Workshops are used to build things. There are 5 diffirent workshops you can make, furniture workshop, building workshop, weapon workshop, main workshop, and equipment workshop. Each workshop requires 15 iron to build.


Plant pots: Plant pots can be used to plant potatoes, carrots, and greenbeans. Plant pots require 4 fertilizer, 4 dirt, and 2 iron to build. Plant pots are built at the furniture workshop.


New Floor: Used to make a new floor, simply place on the ceiling to create a new floor. A ladder will automatically be placed to access that new floor.


Ladder: Used to climb up into your base, or to climb higher inside your base. Must be placed on a ledge.

Lamps: Lamps are used to light up areas and to prevent sharks from swimming by your base so often.

Doors: Doors block floods, doors require 10 iron, 15 copper to make.


Hammer Tool:Left click furniture with the hammer to remove it (destroying items inside of it). Fixing leaks requires iron, if you have iron then left clicking a wall will fix the leak.

Additional
Abandon Bases: You find abandon bases around the world, they appear on the map and they sometimes have loot inside. The water will slowly fall until it reaches the bottom of the base and it is all gone.


Leaks: Leaks are caused by the Kraken, leaks can also be found in leaking/abandon bases.

FarSky : Gamemodes

Farsky features 3 different modes that you can play on.

Adventurer Mode: You crashed you have to look on your map find all the submarine pieces and fly to the surface to finish the the mode. *Unlocks Survivor Mode once beaten*

Survivor Mode: You crashed you have to find the pieces and fly to the surface. More enemies are encountered and the entire game slightly harder.

Sandbox: All that gold collected from the 2 other modes can be spent here. Buy your own equipment to start yourself off (with gold from other modes). There is no starting base so you have to make your own. You start off with a drill and the ability to make a single base. Sandbox is a freemode where there is no goal.

FarSky : Adventuring

So you learned about everything else but adventuring. Hopefully this will show you what you will find when you adventure out into the endless ocean.

Abandon/Leaking Bases: A base that leaks, may have little to tons of loot.


Shipwreck: 2-6 chests of loot beside it

Treasure/Coins: Treasure is randomly found across the map (chests). Coins are randomly found across the map. Coins are used to buy starting equipment in sandbox mode

FarSky : Overpowered items

This honestly didn't need its own entire section but here.

Overpowered Extractor: 30 manganese, 1 gold, and 2 silver to build. Slightly faster than the normal Extractor

Overpowered Drill: 18 manganese, and 3 silver. Slightly faster than the normal starting drill.

FarSky : Droids

Droids can store items for you, attack any enemies that you attack/are being attacked by. Only one droids is found per game, they are found laying on the ground requiring 5 energy to repair. Press 'E' to call the droid to you, allowing you to store items in it. You can turn the droid off if needed by putting it in sleep mode. The droid has 6 slots in it, and its attacks are weak. However the droid is a helpful little carrier companion.

FarSky : Endgame

The end of the game consists of finding the last submarine piece, completing the submarine then winning the game by going up to the surface. If you wish to continue playing the game you can never take the submarine to the surface and just use it as a vehicle to drive around in. The submarine only provides protection from enemies and offers great mobility. Other than that being inside a submarine is the same as being outside of one, making exploring -350 depth and below impossible.

[bipolit]

when is farsky 2 gonna come

[Block]

Didn't think anyone would ever waste their time making a guide on how to play this game. It was fun like four years ago when I bought, don't get me wrong it was fun. Think I only got it because I was really into subnautica at the time, and I had a crappy mac. It kept me occupied for the whole day while my internet was down. Anyway great guide!

[A Galaxy Tycoon]

In the food section, I think you forgot about whale meat. I killed a few to make sure they dropped some and they did. About 5 or 6 pieces with the magnesium stunning harpoons
