What’s up guys and gals, I’m Kage848. I love to make videos for Youtube, mostly early access survival games like 7 Days to Die, Empyrion, Raft, Mist Survival, The Forest, and more! I also dabble in City Builders and strategy games like Civilization 5, Civilization 6, Dawn of Man, Stonehearth, Factorio and Rim World. I do at least two videos everyday of mainly tutorials, let’s plays and general gameplay footage. Thanks for watching my videos.

This Early Access game is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development.

What happened to Bellwright? And what about MD?, or that Space game?..
You will get a bow later, but not anytime soon. I just got the windmill and I'm stoked. No more crafting mini games. I'm fully auto crafting. To get cloth use your scythe on tall grass and flowers to get leaves. You find atlas stones on islands.
I haven't tried it yet, but you could theoretically move all islands to one area, making a huge island base.
You need the bugs to help revitalize other Islands. You should also fly around the bottom of the islands to look for hidden caves
21:51 press R when placing to enter snap mode.
29:37 look at the top line of each section. You'll see blue highlights, yellow highlights, etc. That's how you can recognize the sections.
You can still learn new recipes even without the resources to craft it. The option is Right above The Craft button.. you thankfully get 100% back on resources when you dismantle them. You want to overhang them
Kage, when you learned to make the Stone Dorkip and were looking in your Inventory for Tools/Weapons, you had 2 x Dorkip. The one already in your Inventory was a double Pip Dorkip, while the one you made was a single Pip. You can probably Dismantle the single Pip (to recover the Resources) and use the double Pip one, as it's better than the single Pip. I'm not completely certain, but I suspect that's a quality marker, similar to Ark's Apprentice or Ramshackle, etc…
8:01 When you were looking to find the cost to create Stone Foundations, you missed the Iconon the left side of the screen to switch from WOOD Building Materials to STONE Building Materials…
27:24 Your Floaters can be turned to stick out to the side, which is probably a better design. They're catching the Wind from underneath, and NOT taking up potential building/walking space…
The map function is awesome
destroy the sketchbook u found or will find u get more paper. also use ur field guide to see how much stuff u can grab.
I think you may have convinced me to buy this game but I am missing your Bellwright. I think I bought that game after watching you, too.
Instead of dropping the gear, dismantle it, also the stone foundation is on the left side under the wood section when looking at buildables.
“[Helm] doesn’t snap” — misses “[R] SNAP MODE” in lower left corner. 😅 Always examine every UI element and try them out. They are important to master.
You’ll need lots of windstones. Don’t pass them up early in the game.
Never pass up charcoal or paper. So important. Sketch everything. Learn every recipe; unlocks more things.
Narrowness and maneuverability matter so much when navigating through the field of immense boulders blocking you from entering inner rings (see map). You’ll want to move your helm and sails to the bow of your island. The top shelf will be great for a stone manse.
You’ll need several sheep on your island. Their wool is important for sails. They can’t fall off. If you managed to toss one off it’ll just respawn on your island. Feed them hay to produce wool; use Shears tool to get their wool. You’ll need a lot of wool to repair your sails. Boulders destroy sails. Sails are needed for motion. Without enough wool you can be dead in the air, so to speak.
You need to make lots of special containers called Stockpiles. Stones and wood have their own stockpiles, for example. When crafting, resources are automatically pulled from stockpiles, so you won’t need to hold them in inventory.
Most use the sword for battles. Best to eat and drink before big fights. They provide useful buffs. Drinking clean water increases attack speed. Also, dirty water + charcoal = clean water.
Good luck. Try 2 hour streams. There’s tons of content. You’ve barely scratched the surface.
Break the stones with the blue lines for special stones. Also break up the campfires for charcoal and other stuff.
realistically you don't really want your sails like that as the front ones wouldn't get much if any wind and you could add a small platform off the back of the island just for the rudders when it comes to the sails and floaters it probably won't hurt if you build any extras as to the floaters you should hang them off the side so it looks better and is more realistic also when you go into the menu to build on the left there's 2 buttons default (top one) is wood but stone is the one under it
I did watch this game play at other YouTubers, but your game and attitude is more entertaining and enjoyable not just for this game but all together, so well done 👍
spare tools and recovered books can be broken down for their materials.
remember that anything that highlights or glows can be harvested or broken down using the proper tool.
the Bow is in the game but part of the recipe is feathers which I have yet to find.
anything you build can be demolished to relocate so don't be so hard focused on finding the ideal Island. find one you can work with and get started.
you can always relocate later and take everything with you
Your inventory works different as you think. You'll never get encumbered. All four sections have their own number of slots. Every one can take a different kind of resource. Those with the tools always can only has a stack of one. The other have normally stacks of 250 or even 500. Rarely there are items that can't stacked. So as long as you have an empty slot or the stack isn't filled up, you can take more with you. Grab stones and wood. You will need an enormous amount of material for building, so take everything you can get. You can store it on your island in a special storage.
As it is nowhere mentioned in the game, to find insects on an island, take out the spear/hoe thing and use it where flowers are. You will get some dirt and eventually a bug too. The dirt you can immediately put back by left clicking the same spot again.
Those lifters should be going out of the side into the air, not lying on a surface. The physic of the game doesn't care, but that is the way they should be.
One mission is to bring every island to a living ecosphere. So use the book to see what is missing and add it. Everything else you can remove until you reach the minimum number.
Old stuff like these boxes you can destroy with the axe. If you find and old fireplace, remove it with the pickaxe, you will always get coal out of it.
If you build something and you don't want it, or found a tool you already have, disassemble it, you will get the resources back. All of them! Have a look if those tools have a dot beneath the icon. Those dots show how often a tool can be upgraded later.
Personally I think the sword is best as it does the most damage. If you hold the attack button it will ready a power attack that does more damage. Just note some tools have little dots under them. This lets you upgrade them in the upgrade station. So a sword with 2 dots can be sharpened and infused doing even more damage. Use the Dorkip to dig it up. This will give you some pretty good stuff.
If you can kill the enemies before destroying the corruption cores. This is the only way to make rope and oil for a good chunk of the game… and do researches.
Also there are rock clusters in an X you might scattered around islands. Do not worry about dying as there is no penalty. Just park the airship close by and fly back.
For inventory I always carry all the tools, but the spy glass. I carry the field journal and the sketchbook. I also carry the paper and charcoal. I carry one type of tree seed and wild flower seeds from that biome as well as mushroom spores, both beetles (and later bees), some grass cloth, any keys, maybe some hey (possibly worms later on as eggs likely means birds as eggs are a cooking ingredient). This will let you repair any island (so far as I know).
I thought that Island looked like a ship, as soon as I saw it. Nice pick. Now you can really explore without have to wonder if you've been to that island or not.
Use an axe on wood items you cant dismantle…..also on left side in build menu you choose stone or wood
you have to sketch more of the stone to get stone walls etc not just one thing. make sure to get them burnt trees and stumps charcoal is your friend
Tips. 1.) the dots under the tools are important you'll see some with 1 dot and some with 2 dots.
2.) dismantling items you don't use gives resources like dismantling a sketchbook will give some paper back.
3.) you don't get encumbered you simply just can't pick up anything more.
4.) the white bars are your stamina they also function as your boost so if you stop getting wet you could have up to 3 boosts.
5.) any island that's within certain sizes can be used not just that island.
6.) do not limit yourself with flat islands, big islands, small islands any size will work as you can build off your island which is what I'm currently doing with mine.
7.) your floaters are placed wrong they are supposed to be overhanging although this is for looks really as you can see. 8.) do not limit yourself to placing things with structural support if you want to build a 5 mile long road into the abyss do it. Limit yourself to what looks amazing considering you are on a floating island in the sky (a floating rock that your driving does that structurally makes sense so why should building).
8.) in the build menu to the left you will see a wood icon and a stone icon click on the stone icon to build with stone.
Couple things: 1: Sword is by far the best weapon for one reason: Charge attack. No need for a bow, you hold left click, look at the enemy you want to kill until it highlights blue, then you fly to it and attack. later when you get to the flying guys and the ranged little guys that run from you, it's OP. You fly through the air and kill them in one hit. 2: Sail placement: use your helm, and press F; you will see how much wind your sails are catching. If they are red, they are useless where they are. i didn't stack my as bad as yours but they were too much in line and too close. By moving my sails around to better locations, I went from an average speed of 50 knots to a speed of 65 knots. That is a great island, same one i used and it works well even if the right side does stick out a bit much. Also, there is a limit to animals; arounnd 40.
Graves can also have hidden chests under them
It will be good for you if you build the helm and other part in front of you top part of your island instead of back and drive through that direction. You can break all the barrels and box and stone on top part except the anchor.
Looted tools: Look for the number of dots on the bottom of the icon, this is the number of trinkets you can add to it. Looted tools can have more than base tools. As someone else mentioned you can deconstruct them with R, you can even do this while they are still in a chest.
Wood: If you leave that grove there (or replant it if you've chopped it down), the mature trees will drop saplings and plant them. I left the rows of trees on my island, and then just collected the saplings they dropped, and I have a ton of wood. There is plenty of time while you are exploring for them to leave their presents.
Break the barrels they have loot too.
I need some aloft here, I'm jonesing
