Stranded 2 Guide

Forums

I’ve setup forums for the guide, to make it easier since I’m getting quite a few varied questions, comments and suggestions. Please feel free to take advantage of the forum as I’m sure you’ll find it easier to seperate topics out, response to each other and post additions to the guide.

Introduction

The following is a general guide to playing Stranded 2. This free game is based upon the idea that you must try and survive on various desert islands. Using items you find on those islands you can construct tools, buildings and weapons. These will help when hunting for food or harvesting crops.

First steps on the island

When you first arrive on an island, you’ll need to check for several things and keep notes of where useful areas / items are. It’s best not to stray too far, unless you have enough food and water.

• Check initial area for any shipwrecked cargo boxes, break these open for items
• Find a stone and a branch (attack a tree for one), combine them and you’ll get a hammer.
• Right-click the hammer to create a building site, you’ll want a shelter.
• Search for food, including berries / mushrooms / grapes / cocoa plants / bananas / coconuts / wheat / animals (mind the dangerous ones)
• Search for fresh water springs or pools (salt water is nasty), sources of iron, cotton and good area of trees.

Trees and plants

Here’s a list of trees and plants to help identify them when you’re out gathering supplies or exploring. I’ll add larger images when I get the chance.

• Banana Palm

  

• Coconut Palm

  

• Cacao Tree

  

• Coffee Tree

  

• Plum Tree

  

 

Planting

Think you’ve got yourself a green thumb and want to plant your own food. Here’s a list of what you can plant and what skill level you’ll need.

Plant	Skill level
Grain	0
Grapes	0
Hempleaf	0
Berry	50
Leaf	200
Branch	200
Banana	400
Coconut	400
Cacao	400
Coffee	400
Plum	400

Loctus Plague!

Getting your crop eaten by Locutus, here’s why they appear. The game will check the following list, if it is all true (with a bit of random bad luck as well) you’ll get a plague.

• Going to sleep
• There are more than 30 grain plants on the island
• You have a planting skill level of over 40
• Game does a random number from 1 to 3, if it’s 1, the plague starts

Anyone whose really interested, the game will loop through your grain and pick one every 5, 6 or 7 plants and then send in the locutus.

Combinations

Items can be combined to create other items, these include buildings, weapons, tools, food and others.

This list is a bit of a spoiler, so please don’t rely on this. I’d only check this list if you’re stuck and in urgent need of something or losing interest in the game because you can’t figure out the combinations.
