Stranded II/Game Mechanics and Glitches
From SDA Knowledge Base
Contents
Controls
There are several keys that are not listed in the controls configuration menu. The useful controls are:
- ESC = Skip Introduction Cutscene, Close diary entries and rucksack
- E = Use object
- R = Eat, Drink (in rucksack menu)
- T = Take object in your hand (in rucksack menu)
- D = Throw away one object (in rucksack menu)
- Z = Sleep
- S = Combine 2+ objects (in rucksack menu after marking combinable objects)
Taking something in your hand and using the left mouse button has the same effect like using E while selecting something in the rucksack.
Shortcuts
Select a single item in your rucksack and press a number key (1 - 9). When you now press that number key while the menu is closed you will take the selected item in your hand.
Rucksack
You can carry up to 25000 gram at once. If you catch butterflies you can carry 500 gram more for each butterfly in your rucksack.
Logs do weigh 10000 gram and are needed on the first island, therefore you'll have to plan which items to drop and where to drop them.
Using well water
You can use the water of non natural wells by jumping on top of it and standing on top of the water. Then you can use the water to make bendable branches or dough for example.
Glitches
Fast tiredness
In order to be able to sleep you must have a specific amount of tiredness.
You can speed up the process of getting tired enough by using this setup:
- Set a new building site for a tent
- Right click on it with the hammer (the required materials should now show)
- Quickly take a fishing rod or a spade in your hands
- While the required materials are shown right click to build up your tiredness
You can sleep after right clicking three times. You can at most sleep 4 times before having to right click the building site again.
Island 2 Portal
The portal on Island 2 requires you to put 25 "children of the sea" onto it before it transports you to the next island.
However each time you try to use it the amount of children of the sea (fish, sea weed, clams) that is currently lying on the portal is subtracted from 25. This way you can use the portal by placing a smaller amount of items on it and save time by not having to collect 25 items.
