My experience with the crates (so far) has been the opposite. I find the mystical one then spend 20 minutes looking for the last gear crate.

[jeremymorales]

i remember telling my friend I'd try it out while he went to sleep, we were both pretty cautious because of the steam reviews... this man calls me 9 hours later because he woke up and saw I was still playing it. Been a while since a game got me stuck for 9 hours without noticing

EXTREMELY HELPFUL TIP: when searching new settlements, goto the rift anchor first. Read the messages on the ground around the anchor. A lot of people have placed messages stating exactly where cases and mystical crates are! Some even add pictures to help more!

[Oblinski]

Things I'd add
-ALWAYS CHECK YOUR BLUEPRINTS! (any that have a yellow square icon can be fused to add the crafting recipe to your tables) you get blueprint parts from chests and gacha
-ALWAYS BACK UP YOUR HOUSE TO BLUEPRINTS. (At the end of the season you will lose your base and this erases the need to rebuild and memorize the layout)
-Eating food increases your weight and dieting lowers it (this grants speed debuffs and effects your weight)
-Press G on the gacha machine to directly buy blueprints you want for a higher cost of starchrome than gacha (it's more cost effective, but random to use gacha)
-Arrows and melee kills are silent and good for chipping away hordes, guns make noise attracting hordes pretty obvious, but easily missable
-You can move your base anywhere so don't plan to make a house if you want a permenant home. You're going to want to move along with the story content and create a fortified open base for the stardust raids
-Deviants (pokemon) have specific likes and dislikes that boost mood regain (this can be checked in their enclosure)
-You can enter build mode and press `/~ (tilda) to fly around with the camera and build your base
-Completing J quests are easy ways to level up early game
-Remember you can glide with the bird guy when going off cliffs or high points.
-The banner at the top of your screen that says a ripple is nearby just press Q to find and highlight it
-you can use the bed perk to refill sanity or the blob deviant (reference to SCP 999 btw)

Electric Furnace eliminates need for charcoal to manufacture metal.

This game is so underrated. From a developer standpoint it's actually a really cool game idea. I was looking for something new in the Survival Genre and this game sure has hit the spot for me.

On tip 15, you should put the resonant filter on a platform away from your base, I'm talking opposite end of your territory and stick a bunch of turrets on the platform too. That way the mobs won't fuck up your base and wreck your storage containers.

[mysticalshadows]

Some tips about the stardust filter.

1) You can make a second building to defend the stardust filter at, so that your main base isn't getting hit by everything. I've only got wood structures, but I have a separate building as my garage, and I keep the filter in it's attic. By doing this, my main base only takes minimal damage from some stragglers here and there.
You can also expand your territory to gain more than double max structures (plenty for another base), and put the filter even further away from your base
that you want to avoid taking damage

2) If you have the filter placed underneath a roof, and when you finish the waves you can't find your starchroms, LOOK ON THE ROOF. I had them spawn there and it took me a second to figure out where the heck they went. I tried relogging and thought it must have just been a bug, RIP 2.5K starchroms. But no, they were on the roof :^)

3) Ideally, to save yourself some time, don't put your storage containers where enemies will get to them... BUT if you do have an enemy come and blow up your containers, all of your stuff goes to the "Vault" on your house's terminal, the silver skinny thing that your base MUST have. It wasn't sent to the shadow realm!

[Jetacker]

When looking for the mystical crates, or gun crates, press Q and it will detect em in a certain range, even tho sometimes it’s hard to see the aura, but it works most of the time

[Darxide]

I knew I wasn't crazy for carrying the starter crossbow around with me for so long.

[sarnem]

When looking for Mystical crates the light on you bag will flash when you are close. the closer you get the faster it flashes until it turns Orange. This means you are basically on top of it (this can mean on another level in the building)

[Brother_CC]

Not sure if anyone posted, but you can repair not owned items. You need a deviation called Artisan Touch which will allow you access to craft a tool that fixed ANY item.

[VonVisualsOfficial]

I thought I needed a break from Survival Crafting until I randomly downloaded this game. Now I’m hooked.

[PerzyYT]

The yellow blob deviant is actually OP; when you activate the ability, it will put a wall down which actually restores your health and sanity. If you are low just pop the walls and sit behind it and you will heal to full. Also nice if you have a lot of insanity and need to reset but you are out of gummies or away from a bed.

[liwong]

Oh man that Compost Bin perk sounds amazing. I was lvl 9 almost 10 before I logged off last night. Left a junk bag of 40 rotten foods on my neighbour’s front door. It’s probably despawned by now.

[williamedwards]

You can sleep in your bed to rest health and sanity.
Just...feel of charge. Takes a little time, based on how much you are missing.
So, don't waste a sanity gummy or some shrooms, if you're at home or near your camp.
Just take a nappy poo.

[iansoliz]

Your deviants will produce more if you give them certain things. Hover over them to find out. Some like being around plants, others don’t. Some like heat, music or the different colored lights.

[psychoticbunny]

If your trying to find the Mystical crate pay attention to the cradle on your back it measures the stardust concentration once it gets to 40 it should be close by but there are gonna be a few areas like that I think by it minimize the areas to look and helps alot

[MrAKH]

For the mystical crates, I've often found that the commubity in this game is awesome and helpful, if you read the player dropped messages, they'll often tell you exactly where to find everything in the area ❤

[acrazydurian]

If you have trouble finding the mystical crates, go to the rift anchor and look for whispers left by other players. some times people leave a note on how to find the crates with photos. if thats not a thing on your server/world, start a trend yourself :)
