I don't know if I'm missing something here, but I can't fill the water bucket with water, it says i need fresh water, so does that mean i have to wait until it rains, and get the water from any rock pools?

You should be able to combine the empty bucket + any filled water container (ie; liver w/ water, clay container w/ ect, ect).

First of all this mod is amazing but... it seems to crash (memory access violation) afer a while every time I play a custom island. I'm using Vista 32 with the fixed exe (windows 7/vista fix) couse the original exe gave me the same error right from the start. The vanila stranded seems to be working fine with that exe. I would be grateful for any feedback

EDIT: I found out what is wrong, you need an unfired bucket to fill it with water, which, of course, is wrong

I think a more realistic approach would be a %chance of a tool to turn into an unusable "Blunt Axe/Machette/Pickaxe/Scythe", that could be fixed by combining it with a flint stone. (Sharpening). And yeah, I can record a bit of live axe sharpening sounds if you wish.

-Sharks and pirahnas are able to eat me while sailing on a raft. Now, with a log boat let's say it's possible since your legs are hanging in the water and all, but what is this? Jaws? Since when do sharks eat rafts?
Also, I used to play with rafts on a lake when I was a kid. They handle a bit differently. As in: Using a pole, they are quite easy to turn while not moving, but they are a pain to start... and once started, better watch out, stopping may be a tad bit hard. And there's no such thing as steering once the cursed thing is speeding in a straight line. :D.

I guess I should give the feedback that I noticed the version I was playing, from page 41, was running at a lower FPS rate than Stranded usually did on my PC, but I've had no qualms about playing through that slight hickup.

My real interest is that I was scanning over some of the posts in this thread and I see quite a few references in this thread to a flintlock pistol. Having managed to survive two weeks on Normal I wanted one. So I checked around the combination inf but I didn't see it there, yet I see graphics for it.

In see in the last couple of pages the forging systems been getting overhauled, so I guess I wanted to ask if it had been removed for that or some other reason, or did I miss a sub-step in patching the scripts?

2. Can't change anything about sharks\rafts.

Need more information about when it crashes. IE; What are you doing.

Whoa, but the sharks/pirhanas were unable to hurt you while riding a raft, in the previous version!
I know for sure, as my frequent strategy was to search for a small island not connected to mainland and about 50% of my playtime included sailing around.

- about the bamboo. bamboo can be used for making weapon like spear. with less power than then the wooden one of couse.

- long wooden handle, the idea of cutting A TRUNK into A LONG WOODEN HANDLE is a bit too much. since trunk is a bit hard to get at beginning of the game. giving 5 Long Wooden Handles for A Trunk would be abit helping.

- the making of spear, adding VINE or CORD as a requirement in making spear is acceptable i think. [used for attaching the stone in the wooden handle.]

- short wooden handle. A trunk for A short wooden handle?? like making a chopstick out of a log

Small meat+Fish+Grains+Knife(Returned) = 30 pieces of fish bait (Alternative to insect parts). .

The recipe itself is somewhat accurate, save for grains. I usually mix spoiled meat, corn and fish oil, but I suppose grains will do just fine.

Bamboo+Feather+2xThread+Stick+Pebble+Nail= Advanced fishing Rod that either does not break, or improves fishing chance.

As far as the whole log discussion I think that a much better solution would be to actually get a fallen tree which you could than chop into logs(carrying logs into my storage is one of the most immersive activities for me ;)) . Plus, I think a single tree can give you much more wood than it currently does.

Well, yeah, you are right, cutting trees should produce a fallen tree. The model is in the game, the falling animation is also there... I guess it would be possible to spawn "fallen tree" instead of logs.

Not to mention that every type of tree would spawn the same type of fallen tree. And cutting a wimpy palm tree only to see it spawn a giant fallen oak would be a bit ridiculous.

The only way to turn this into something more realistic it would be, say, every fallen tree spawns 6 logs and 30 branches all scattered around, so you'd have to pick them up.
But I don't know if it is possible to spawn "scattered" objects. I think normal spawning would just put them all in the same pile.

Your average (real) tree would spawn 2 or 3 big logs, 2 or 3 medium logs and a whole lot of branches.

But I agree, most of the time I spend by hauling logs or rocks.
Usually I would use my raft to carry more logs in one go, but the raft is useless in this version.

Back when I was a child, cutting firewood with my grandfather, we used to build a rudimentary sled/sleigh with which we were moving the logs to our horse-drawn cart.

The fallen tree idea is already in three mods
one is german but not released
two is SOS mod
and three is ultimate survival

UUUgghhh..... now i feel how hard it is to make iron materials, since i have used up all the rain water left on rock. what should i do now...?? sing like a frog to call the rain...???

I'm a total noob with Stranded scripting but can't specific tree types give specific number of logs? As for the models, as a 3d artist by trade I would be more than happy to provide needed models and textures.
The sled Idea also sounds great (maybe even an option for different types of sled (a simple one made of palm leaves and vines vs a more sophisticated reusable type)).
I also think that we need more options for obtaining water (what about dew for example?). Plus I think that the player character needs ridiculous amounts of food to survive

For everyone who has the same problem as i do, you have to WAIT like 10 seconds before you place any meat on it! Otherwise the grill is screwed for life and you wont be able to place anything on it!
