Game Journalism Play 2

  1. Today I mainly focused on learning more about playing the game efficiently. I tried to make some planters to grow some produce. I also made a second and third level on my raft with stairs in order to access high island's. I killed one shark but then it came back and killed me thrice, which was aggravating.
  2. I learned that storing things in chests and containers is much smarter than storing it in your personal inventory as that is lost upon death. I also learned that the ergonomics of your raft does matter and that it is better if you have things easily accessible. A good feature is the net that one can attach to the raft to collect resources in stead of having to pick it up manually.
  3. A strategy I want to try tomorrow is reinforcing the raft edges so that it is not as easy to attack. Also I really want to make bricks to get a smelter for metal ingots which is important in farther ahead gameplay.
  4.   I have done all these things to add to the quality of life. Stairs to reach higher islands. Storage so I don't carry it all on hand. Grill and Purifier for basic food and water. A net to maximize collected resources. A Research Table to get more advanced tools.
