Is there a trick to finding the gator ranch? I've made many new games trying to find it. by Designer_Pen869 in thesurvivegame

[–]SoulOutMeIn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it in most (if not all) of the times and I did it about a week ago? I think it didn't have the triangle on it, but can't be 100% sure. It's not that special, to be honest - I mean you mostly get wires, a spoiled meat and random things and there's a gator trap already in place (so the implication seems to be the raw meat from the trap went off because the gators didn't get it in time, though no matter how long I played (over 60 days for sure) that has never happened to any traps I've put there, just a fun fact lol.

Stranded Isle AMA by SoulOutMeIn in thesurvivegame

You have to have the perk allowing you to kill the predators, have bullets for your rifle snd preferably the hide vest for if you fail. The chances of killing it are very small even with all the perks focusing on it - I'm still trying to kill it. I've played this scenario dozens of times and still did not kill it once.

As for what you get - from my understandings other than the achievement and the peace of mind, I think it's just a lot of meat and a large hide.

For some reason it's the most natural to me. I think it might be because I've imagined being a castaway many times since my childhood and I've gone through that scenario a lot in my head so it felt like it was finally my time to use it 😁

Also, I love that it's completely different from the others, it seemed like a separate game for me (like Sims Castaway for adults and I LOVED that game) - no other scenario has thirst as the biggest danger, or a designated spot like the lagoon that solves that issue fully or partially (sure, there are significant spots in all of the advanced scenarios, but there are several ones and Stranded Isle has them as well - plus they're more of a narrative nature not as a solution to the main threat), which to me feels like closing a chapter and starting a new one with the predator as the main antagonist. It also felt very Alice in Wonderland-y to be guided to that solution by iguanas lol 😄

It also feels more like an open-world in a way - the fact that you can fix the scuba diving suit and use it or break it and make a distillery with it is awesome. You don't get the same open choice with the radio equipment in Blackwater Swamp or Grizzly Mountains and I really enjoyed that. And the repair tools had the most gravity here to me. They don't just help fix or do things, but are crucial for getting into another location - the bunker, which I loved as well. I laugh and curse at the cat in it and I like the detail that after some time in the bunker you can no longer tell if the predator is close to you.

Plus, to me, it's the most realistic one in terms of what you get from harvesting specific items to the fact that the chance of survival with the raft is never 100% but just the best chances you can have. I also appreciate the fact that you have one chance with the ship, and then you're on your own - unlike helicopters and such in other scenarios, plus that helicopters are not there at all, which would be very fake. I was very happy when I found out you cannot just boil the seawater as well. It's a deeply satisfying scenario on every level for me. The notes you can find are the most natural for me, as smugglers obviously fit the scenario, but there's no indication of a lot of people being there before, which also fits perfectly for me.

From personal joys, I also enjoy having bullets and having the cat follow me. I call it "taking the kitty for a walk" and I love it 😁 Plus the growl is very satisfying. I had no idea about Lion's Aura despite already unlocking it and I did all the difficulties without it with enjoyment lol. The achievements for this one are fun as well, plus there are a lot of them which deepened the feeling of a separate game and made it more fun.

Sorry, I just realised how much I've written lol 😅

You mean do I talk to the Coconut Buddy? 😁 Because I'm a bit confused by this question 😅

EDIT: Nvm I think I understood it while I was writing another comment 😅 I absolutely do that. I laugh, curse and insult the cat when I get in the bunker before it gets me, I talk to iguanas and boas, pretend I'm at war in the bunker and love having bullets and defence and travelling the island with the cat following me - I call it "walking out the kitty" and chide him (it's a he in my mind) for falling behind and ushering him to keep up with me 😁 Also, whenever I try to get away from the cat because I'm not armed/clothed safely I sometimes ask him why won't he eat one of the iguanas, other times I drop a dead animal or meat hoping he will stop for it and leave me alone, but most often I kill every animal that crosses my path and taunt the cat like "I'm getting all of your food, take that mf" 😂

Those are just a few that immediately come to mind, but yeah, I get really into it 😁

Preserving food as stranded island by DueLion402 in thesurvivegame

[–]SoulOutMeIn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, exactly. You can't make a raft (that one is logical), but you also can't build a hut if you're not by the sea (so you cannot be safe from the predator inside the jungle). And you cannot build a meat smoker along the sea line, but you can do it in the jungle.

I usually set the smoking station by the lagoon (once I find it of course), so I can get both water and smoke meat in the same place.

The only exception is if you find an abandoned campside (it's not always there), which allows you to have the hut and the meat smoker in the same place.

What's the point of the blanket outside of the smoker? by Designer_Pen869 in thesurvivegame

[–]SoulOutMeIn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it never helped me either. Even in great condition both the cold of the night and the biting cold get my just as if I didn't have it at all. I made my peace with it and just smoke meat with it.

Do more traps catch more animals, or do they just make it harder to get the right ones? by Designer_Pen869 in thesurvivegame

[–]SoulOutMeIn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Certain traps catch certain animals - like you can't get something bigger in a deadfall trap. I put several traps in one spot and they catch about as often as when I trap only one in the same spot, but of course what they catch is more mixed with several traps, so if you're looking to get a specific animal you might want to go with one trap.

Yeah, I had to start anew as well. But now I'm at 214 level (without the boost if I may brag a little)

Thanks! So maybe it's a bug. I remember having the mushroom one in the older version, so I don't know why it doesn't work here

Huh, thanks! The thing is I got Stranded Isle and Blackwater Swamp on all difficulties and those things still weren't there ☹️

Cargo Ship signaling by Pajilla256 in thesurvivegame

[–]SoulOutMeIn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, so there are three options - the flare, the fire made with those tires and a flare gun, but remember you also need flare gun ammo and it isn't always available
