it’s on mobile too
@@barerninja9702 correct
U have a backpack for storage now
How do I get metal
Btw you forgot to add the mystic chest the monkeys WILL NOT interact with it AT ALL that chest is for “Keeping items” to your self and every vault has 1 monkey at the end, and the game was updated now you got to “Find” the recipe to put sail on it as its not linked i mean for me on ps4 it doesn’t have a link i had it find the recipe in a bottle
WARNING FOR CONSOLE USERS!!!! Do NOT quit your game while one of your monkeys are holding a chest. I did and when I reloaded he didn’t have the chest anymore and I lost SO MANY important items!
i did that, and lost mine today. :( now you are not alone....
Press M, it's in the middle of the ocean, you can grab still grab it.
I’ve been trying to figure out why my chest keep disappearing and now I feel dumb
Thank you
Thanks
The monkey holding a chest..genius!! I paused the video after that and got organized thanks..I'll just keep coming here for tips!!
A handy tip too. Pit the chest on the ground and tear the forest apart and rocks. Then teach a monkey to fill it for you by simply picking up one thing and putting it in the chest. Then once the area is clear you can move on
@@michaelmiles2647 you can have 3 destroy and 3 gather, moves quicker that way. Later on allows for multiple areas to be done
Really wish the monkeys would maintain their task knowledge and you could set it through a command and not an action after they've been taught.
We thought the same thing! Frustrating that you always have to re-teach them.
You should try the multiplayer,so you can slave your smart friends !
@@Luperoi lmao you act like we have friends...
Oof
yea its kinda annoying and slow the game process tbh
also you can teach your monkeys to load up craft tables, 1. load a recipe you want to make, 2. put the monkey in teach mode 3. grabbing an item from your chest on the ground going to the craft table 4. putting the item into the craft table then the monkey will start loading up any future crafting tables, by doing this you can set a crafting table/forge e.t.c to make 20 items and you can walk away as long as you have one monkey on moving things to the table, one on crafting itself, and one on picking up items off the ground and putting it into the chest, if you have a farm going you can also teach your monkey to plant seeds and another to water the garden
Thanks for bringing this game to our attention. I'm downloading the demo now on the Nintendo switch. From your video it seems like a pretty chill game. And I need a little chill right now.
yeh its really chill too
Its the escapists + stardew valley + minecraft = the survivalists
This was a good tutorial. Had played this game about a few hours and was struggling to have my first monkey learn something.. also had some trouble figuring out the skilltree parts... now I have something to work with. thanks :)
You made it to a team17 playlist! That's epic!
We (Me and my friend) Are getting this game, on Switch, and we kind of needed a guide/tutorial. Thank you for this!
Thanks for the video full of advice. It helped with the monkey using weapons. Not too many people give advice about the survivalists game.
So helpful!! Thank you!!!! I'm absolutely addicted to the game! Such a stress reliever
Thanks so much for making this video. Both entertaining and very informative and helpful :P
Great tutorial man I could not figure out the sail for my raft thank you so much for this informative video looking forward to more!
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO, i just got the game for christmas and did the basics, but then i didn’t know what to do, thanks so much for the info. could you do a part 2 by any chance? again, thanks!!
This helped me immensely. I ran past the locked up monkeys and chest because I didn't know how to open them lol
this is a very good guide, now I fully understand how to play, I'm stuck at build base like where I will build and will I live in that forever
Great Guide! :)
Yeah
Nice games, i like escapist
Great Game :)
Great tips! We've been enjoying the game so far, for several hours, but some of these tips still don't feel intuitive. Thanks for helping 😊
Yoo! Thanks for nice video dude! Really helpful.
Thank you! I was struggling to get going and you saved me from dropping this game.
Good video bro, this helps a lot people getting into the game
Boomstick i love yo videos and they were helpful i already knew the chest but the others were helpful 👍🏻
Wow didn’t realise it released Edit: Friday release for console I cannot wait me and my son been waiting for this since escapists gonna be some fun co-op
very helpful , thanks for keeping it short.
On sale on Steam right now (5/13/2022). Looks rad. :) Thanks for the intro video. I never know how to start these crafting / survival games :)
EXCELLENT! THANKS FOR CRASH COURSE!
Great tips! :)
thanks so much this helped a lot
Thanks for the help man
Great guide thanks alot
Top Tippage, thanks Alex.
Welcome!
This game is so unique, it's soo good!
Thank you so much!
Thanks Alex.
Thank you!!
Title : Watch before playing Guide 4 seconds into video : You already know how to do that?
thank you
Yep, this helped a lot
I suck at this kind of game, thanks it helps a lot!
Wish i saw this tips before, it really help guys
Ive only found 1 monkey and it got stuck in the side of a cliff while gathering 😂😂
I like the idea of the monkeys helping out but the process is so technical. I don't feel like I'm training my monkey but programming them, like a robot rather than a cute living friend.
1. after you sleep -> destroy your bed, you wont lose any material if it's only a base bed.. other type of bed will lose like nails or something, then you can carry the material to make bed blueprint anywhere.. no bed = no base, no base = no raid 2. if you want to you can build a fake base, just build a bed somewhere else, so that the raid will attack there.. protect the fake base with walls and then spike traps.. dont forget to drop by after the raid is ended to collect something (that the attacker dropped after they die by the spike traps) and repair the walls and spike traps 3. no need to build animal (rabbit) traps if you already unlocked the spike traps.. just build spike traps around the rabbit hole an visit it daily to collect the meat and fur, and also repairs it 4. unlike in real life deforestation is a good thing here 5. sell anything that piling up in your storage box to that idiot merchant.. he even buy mud that you dug in front of him
great vid
Can someone help me? I'm trying to do a treasure map on a new island i've discovered and the place on the treasure map does not exist, it is telling me to go to the Silverbreaker region and when i go there, the place on the treasure map is not there
Thank you
great video bro thank for choping it up and keeping it simple 👍👍
I have a question, how do you get metal hinges for crafting medium chests
Good monkeys,it reminded me of Ancestors,give them stick,we conquering the world now!!
Is there a creative mode?
Hold space bar to pick everything up at once
How do you get stone slabs to make the work bench
Is there any way you can pick up items quickly rather than space?
Thanks
This game seems very fun, is there any multiplayer support and is it made by the same producers of the escapist?
Yes it has online co-op and is made by that same team.
@@BoomstickGaming radical, thank you 😀👍
Yes and yes
@XxRGAMExX it has both offline and online play
OMG! i didnt know that u can cancel the task and let the monkey continue it for you! i always would just craft an easy stuff first and then once the monkey is on craft mode then i make it do the longer task. good tip!
I was doing that also haha sometimes I'd make something that the monkey timer would run out first haha
I’m playin on iphone arcade and can not get my friends to join my game i send invites to my game as a host but when they click the link it just brings them to their own game what am i doin wrong?
Anyone know how endgame is? Like is there much variety to building? Does the game evolve or stay the same as the first 30 minutes throughout?
I got you. Working on the video as we speak
It does evolve exploring dungeons and improving your gear and the building is not that expansive but it is indeed a great amount of recipes
Same. The game loop does not change really. Not a lot of depth at the moment but they're adding.
Is there a reliable way to get iron? I find them in a dungeon but I was hoping if there was a way to find them naturally
on others islands, they look like stone rocks but with grey metal inside :)
Plant in caves on other islands I just walked away with 112
For mobile players: To pick up the chest you have to hold the button it tells you to Tab= Open Hold= Carry
Can someone PLEASE tell me how to get basalt rock. Im stuck at this part in the game and theres zero guides online to help me. Im so confused
Does anyone have the bugs where the monkeys drop something and you can no longer pick it up .. Not even the monkeys can pick it up. It's buggy (it's always wood.. So many woodlogs around my base cant pick it up..)
Damn that storage thing is awesome, But does he forget things? Also my biggest problem is I die EVERY time a raid shows up with the trash weapons I have
I like dinky lil games like this
For some reason when i tell my monkey to mimic me and hit a dummy he doesnt train with it
how do you throw the spear using mouse and keyboard? please and thank you!
hold down right click, aim and release
Only thing I dont like is I have to show them multiple times, I feel like when they're blue in a task it should be a hot key for it
how do you do a multiplayer?
Hiw do you get metal ingots?
nice video 😂
Don't forget to like the video
For the tip and trick
I'm here after the update does anyone know where to find Cane?
Do resources renew though?
where do I get wheat?
🤔 So, why can't I find more than one monkey? Am I missing something here?
U need to explore there is one at the beginning of the game and the rest are in dungeons
I'm having trouble connecting to my friend's island. It loads for a very long time only to say "The connection has closed" or something akin to it. Yet, my friend can visit my island no problem. I've searched everywhere and could NOT find a single solution to this. Anyone has any ideas?
I’m high af but these vids lit had to sub
How do I get shovel and sail
Please help! I got stuck between two rocks that need a bomb 💣 I suppose it’s a game error or something I still don’t have any bombs for myself to craft. I’m stuck and can’t get out please I don’t wanna erase or regenerate the whole game again.
How do you jump over gaps? There's one preventing me from finishing a vault @Boomstick Gaming
use sticks and wooden floor to build bridge
How do you get nails
Make a video how to survive in hot region
The consoles now have the Expedition Update
How do i get mud
I’m stuck in building a bed…what do I need?
probably one of the best games out!
Where mango can be found???
2nd Island pal, Big Mango trees
@@jaymos4139 thanks a lot!
Or use the food processor. There is a recipe to turn berries into them
Is this a point click game? Even on console?
It’s not
Thanks it helps a lot, but no videos is talking about food, that’s my real issue, i’m not good at this kind of game lol
You can teach monkeys to add materials to your blueprints too.
Anyone who has played Monkey Island series smell some coincidences??
How do i destroy a blueprint i put down?
Select the same blueprint and then click con delete/destroy blueprint (not destroy mode).
12:19 i am playing on the same island you are now xd
The Escapists april fools joke an Survivalists
Does anyone know how to use these things which the plants drop? Idk how to make arrows from them
What the plants drop are used for tranquilizers not arrows
Stardew with Monkeys, limited game play so far, but still fun. Certainly not Terraria, but lets see what the Devs keep adding.
is this online or offline?
Reject tradition... embrace monke
