Crop
To grow crop
  • Water between 30-60 is the best. If too wet Fungus will invade. If too dry mite will invade.
    Mite and Fungus can and will spread to other crop plot.
  • Mite invade status look like crab. It will appear if using Fertilize or plant in dry place such as Beach and Bay.
  • Use Chili Pesticide to threat Mite.
  • Use Brimstone Pesticide to threat Mite and Fungus.
  • Don't plant in Summer/Dry season if you don't have enough water.
Home Comfort
You can put stuff in Shelf or Bookshelf or do home improvement to increase [Home Comfort]
It increase Mental Structure and Moral, Reduce Stress and Loneliness. You need Maximum comfort to win the "Island home" way.

- You don't need to do any home improvement for "Make the Island your home" Ending. Just spam 20 pcs. of Jasmine Candles and Be Done with the game, cheesy way..

- Clean when Dirtiness is at 25% with Broom.
- The Bar showing Home Comfort status is wrong. (V. 1.00n) You only need 90% of the Border for Maximum Comfort in order to win the game.

    All number are approximate. Multiple Copy is good.
  • Coral 0.75% each - You can get it will swimming a lot. Beware of shark when swimming in Bay.
  • Calcite Crystal 0.75% each - Break Geode to find.
  • Wood carving 0.75% each - Man, Women, Spirit , Seagull, Goat Figure.

    Coral, Calcite, Wood Figure need to be on Shelf or Book Shelf to work.

  • Jasmine Candle 6% Use these to push the stat up to get Home Ending.
  • Citronella Candle 3% Use these to push the stat up to get Home Ending.
  • Jasmine flower in clay jar or a plastic bottle

  • Bookshelf
  • Shelf
  • Stove

Can only have one in each building.
  • Chair - Workplace +1 (Help you make thing a bit faster)
  • Table - Workplace +2
  • Wooden Bed
  • Rustic Bed

Did not test these for Copy yet.
  • Drum
  • Lizard Drum

Did not raise home comfort.
  • Boar Tusk - The only use for it is to make ceremonial dagger.
  • Storage Chest - Keep things nice and tidy.

Home improvement.
  • Door - Prevent Macaque and Bird from getting inside. Not sure about mice.
  • Stitched Hide Floor - Also make you house harder to get dirty. 16 Leather is no joke.
  • White Washed Walls - Wall look nice now.
  • Sea Trophy
Copper
There are total of 19 copper. You only need 17 to build everything.

Get 7 copper easily from Exploring the Eastern Highland.
Make Copper Knife (2) and Copper Axe (5)
.....
Get the rest from Tunnel - Low Chamber level.
Make 5 Copper Shovel (5) and Copper Spear (5)


Use copper knife on Wood to get Wood Shaving. Use it as a tinder. It is lighter to carry, free, improve moral and train woodworking.
Macaque as Pet
Sometime when you hunt Macaque, you will find wounded Macaque.
Nurse it back to health and it will turn into Macaque Friend.

When it is healthy, you can equip Macaque and carry it around. This make it weight lesser than carry it on hand.

You can pet it which is needed daily. (increase Entertain)
Do not pet it when it mood is below 80%. (Increase chance of biting.)

Food - Can eat raw, cooked and spoils. 1 portion give 50% .
Water - Can drink unsafe, water and coconut water. 1 portion give 15%.

It can help you remove Coconut Husk and Remove almond shell which take 0 time.
Cannot make it climb Coconut Tree.

If necessary you can use knife on it. Although, It will fight back and you will be sad.
Wakefulness - Sleepy - Watcher's Glare
A full bar is about 12 hour of sleep. You should go to sleep when the bar is at 66% or at midnight.

Always sleep with a lit fire to prevent Watcher's Glare.

Watcher's Glare - You are very afraid of darkness. This bar go up very fast. Increase you stress and alters your mind state. This is a reason you get stress or turn crazy when sleep in the dark.
  • At night 20:00 or in dark place, Even if you can do some action in the dark, It is better to light a fire.
  • High comfort and wearing Pearl Necklace also help.
Bee
Build Bee Skep

Smoke beehive with a lit Torch then harvest. (Candle won't work) Get a Queen bee and Honey to put in Bee Skep.

Bee will hurt you if you Harvest it without smoking. You also will not get a Queen bee.
FAQ
Why do I gain stress when sleeping?
1. General Pain. Wound. Etc
2. Bug bite - Use bug repellent, smoke or sleep somewhere far from water such as the beach.
3. Back pain - Make better bed. Use Aloe, Aloe gel.
4. Hunger/Thirst - Make sure to eat/drink to full before sleep.
5. Discomfort due to bad smell, dirtiness, rotten stuff, fertilizer, etc.
6. Watcher's Glare - You are VERY afraid of darkness. You will feel someone is watching. You need to lit fire when sleep. This is semi hidden due to it will go away when morning come.
7. Low entertained - Swim, Rest 1 hours, Build sand castle, Pet, Play drum to fight this
8. Loneliness -
9. Isolation - This will keep go up to the max if you stay on the island around 90 days.
10. Lack of complicated food - Meat on fire or Lemongrass is not enough. You need real cooked food.
11. Etc.

Skill Training
  • To get a skill up the fastest is to train once every 3 hours. That is 8 time a day max. Go watch (Neomare : Tutorial Skill training)
  • If you keep training skill over and over you will get zero experience. The developer do not want you to spam training.
  • You can train Knapping by using a rock on a flint. After that make flint knife, flint axe. (It is easier to get coppers.)

How to find Flint
Usually the rocks, the desolate beach or any of the highlands. It is rare. - Developer

How much Reservoir should I build
Minimum 2 water reservoir needed to survive first 90 days.

How rare are beehives?
- Quite Rare. Always use lit torch to smoke the bee to get Queen bee for your Beeskep

How to deal with cobra?
- Bring 2 pot full of water to clean your eyes.

How to efficiently trap partridges? How hard is to throw rock at palm and get coconut?
- Quite low. Most skill need to be 50% to be really effective.

How hard is maqaque den?
- Hard. Recommend 80% Skill to avoid injury

How complex is fishing?
- Spearfishing on bay and beach, found snake and 2 types of small fish, on rock I once found cutable big fish. Do fishing spear help catching bigger fish? Does location matter? Is training normal fishing with line better?

- Bay and Beach give different fish. Location matter.
- Normal fishing take 1 hrs. improve moral a bit. If I recall correctly this skill will enable you to make fish trap later.
While spear fishing take 30 min. , make you wet.
So pick one skill to train since you will need food to survive.

Is there any in-game control help, hotkey map, whatever?
- yellow triangle will appear if you hover your mouse on top or bottom of the card. Help you transfer stuff between row.

How do I get Quick lime/Slaked lime/ Mortar ?
Fire stone, heavy stone or Pretty seashell in the Klin to get quick lime
Slaked Lime = Quick lime 1, Water 1.
Charcoal into Klin give plenty of fuel 26%.
Bugs Bite
How to deal with Bugs Population/bites. As of 1.00j

It depends on where you are.
1. Wetlands +3, Puddle + 1 each (2). You will get +5 Bugs Population.
2. Dark Cave (Wetlands) +3. So stay in Dark Cave is better than Wetlands
3. Reservoir +1 each
4. Well +1 ( Do not increase bug bite in 1.00 o.)
5. Cistern +1 ( Do not increase bug bite in 1.00 o.)
6. Bug Attraction Perk +2

Things that lower bugs bite. You will need 6 to stay in Wetland. Wet land +5 therefore you need -6. At -5 you still get bugs bite.
  • Lit Campfire -1
  • Light Rain -2
  • Smoke Snakegrass -1 (Put Snakegrass over campfire. Snakegrass over Stove do not work)
  • Bug Resistant -2
  • Shirt -1
  • Leather pants -1
  • Bug Repellent -3

Do nothing against bugs.
  • Woven Palm hat
  • Leaf Skirt
Trick that are no longer work
V. 1.00m
1. Put sea water in to puddle to dig clay or using it as water reservoir with fresh water.
If you put fresh water in you get unsafe water. (If you still can, you are playing on a different version.)
Quoted from developer. Hot fix Version 1.00m
- Puddles will now only convert any safe water added to them into unsafe water.
- You can no longer pour salt water or other liquids into puddles.
Ending

For the "Guide for Normal Hunter," what "pot" are you referring to? The cooking pot or the clay pot cooler?

P.S. Thanks for the guide :steamthumbsup:
Elfaron Sep 29, 2022 @ 2:57am 
Oh! I think I did it two days ago. It was probably version 1.00i. Thanks.
Threzque  [author] Sep 29, 2022 @ 12:49am 
You can't put sea water in dry puddle to dig mud in version 1.00m.
You can put fresh water in but it will turn into unsafe water. Tested and confirm.

Please check your version.
Elfaron Sep 28, 2022 @ 9:26pm 
You can still put sea water in the puddle to dig mud. One clay vase brings the puddle up to 20%.
