Bottomless Oceans

[☢Deanio]

Today i was playing Stranded Deep and i was in my raft in the middle of the ocean with my lighter in my raft with me and a shark flipped up my raft, my lighter fell out and i couldnt get it because it fell into a bottomless ocean where your cant swim down unless your character gets hurt, now i have no lighter and cant cook food, please remove all bottemless oceans i hate losing things in them, the ocean needs a ground.

There is no Botttomless terrrain in Stranded Deep. The deepest the ocean ever gets is about 120 meters below the ocean surface level.

However, it might as well be bottomless because at that depth in the game you cannot see jack as it is almost pitch black. Also, the chances of swimming that far down and making it back up are slim to none.

This does not necessarily mean you dropped your lighter in the deepest part, but again any area that is deeper than about 60 meters is too dark to see anything anyways.

I suggest in the future you keep important objects in your inventory when travelling or leave them at home. All is not lost as lighters are fairly common in ship wrecks, so you just need to find a new one. In the meantime you can easily survive on food and water that does not require you to cook like coconuts, sardines and rain water.

Come on, don't be childish. Not the game is bad. You're just not playing it right.

Hopefully in the future the developers implement some kind of fire starting mechanic or the ability to craft a crude fire starter out of a few sticks that functions like the lighter.

[razberrie]

are you going to keep your lighter in your pocket from here on out ?

if the answer is 'yes', then our job is done. ;)

[☢Deanio]

Yeah that would be cool hazens1 :D good idea, but it depends what i have in my inventory razberrie, i cant guarantee i will but it in my pocket if i have better things, no

Survival is not easy, no one in real life that is stranded with a fire making tool would ever leave it in a raft, it would be on their person. Crap happens and you have to deal with it. that is part of being stranded. I never use fire anyway, just store coconuts for thirst and plenty of sardines for hunger. I have found a ton of lighters and will only keep a couple on my home island. I leave at least one on each nearby island just in case i am forced to cook something. I do the same for bandages, antibiotics, vitamins etc...

Two other solutions:

1) Start a new game
2) Stranded Deep Save Editor and World Mapper (Online)

I would prefer the first solution as the web based tool well, means cheating, a bit...
But at least this would prevent you of dying in the abyss of the pacific

Thanks man :D i will probabley end up starting a new game because i made a home, i made the motor boat, i really dont have alot left to do, i cant wait for update 0.04 then we got more to do again :)

[razberrie]

'cheating' is an antiquated term in contemporary gaming.

We get it you have an air tank but realize that when we are talking about depth air isnt the only variable in most parts of the ocean you would be inable to swim to the botttom due to mounting barametric pressure and would likely pass out even with an air tank and realisticly if you lost your lighter in the ocean you wouldent even be able to find it so......

Have fun being crushed by the water pressure :)

No, no you really can't. freediving with bottled air has a limit of about 60 meters maximum
