How to get the Motor Boat *early in game*

(SPOILER ALERT) The aim of this guide is to show you how to get a motor boat the safest way and all the materials to craft it at a workbench. This guide is mostly pointed at new players so just skim through the stuff you already know.

Info about a new game to this guide
your going to start out in F6 on the world map on a new game

Don't stay here to long as its not worth it and a waste of time really. Like 4 or 5 coal and a chest in the hidden room you will see a torch above it.

Its time to make a raft so you can get to the places you want without being shark food.



The best place to get boar leather is the starter island F6
its easier to find them and kill them to obtain what you need pretty quick for its mostly flat and easy to farm.

the best place for shark skin and a shark fin is the open ocean but you need a raft/motor boat to start building there.

The best way *for now* to find a shark fin
Find a shark and save your game. kill it with a sword (stone or iron) or bow and arrows if you have any and reload if its not what your lookin for. rinse and repeat.

you can also trade with the natives but your at the mercy of RNG and pearls are hard to come by for now. you will still find pearls in clam shells but its very rare.

F5 is where the survival guide in game tells you to go after F6 Starter island. go there and do the above. get the shark skin/shark fin and leather needed then chop some palm trees (for palm logs) and 3 peices of grass (for rope) and start crafting.
Info about the engine and location





Here is what the engine looks like when you open the chest located in A11


A11 (red circle) is where the engine is located.

You can trade with the natives at A11 (even K1) for the engine but its very expensive and pearls are rare.

More than likely your character is fresh and have nothing.
Info about titanium location *BONUS* and other ore locations
This map is to show you what you need to get to mine titanium for the propeller of the motor boat easy way

(easy way) H10 has titanium ore there
(mine it with a silver pick axe or above)
There is other ore in other islands. This is just a quick guide to get you going in the right direction.

Silver pick axe is all you need to mine a peice of titanium. So the gold and diamonds could wait if you wanted to.

I threw the rest in there as a bonus.

*hard way* K2 has titanium in the hand grips of the statues outside (no one to trade with) which makes this village a target if you wish.





Or you could find titanium in a floating chest bound for the shore of that island your on if you can find any.

Its a random set of stuff you can get every time.

From food to explosives and ore ingots. And more



Your gonna have to find titanium some how. Either by mining it at H10 (purple circle) or find it in a floating chest. As stated above. Or K2 island statue



here is what titanium ore looks like.

so there is no confusion as it does look a little like coal.

coal has alot more black in the texture.
Step 1 Getting to A11
A11 (red circle) is where the engine is located. H10 (purple circle) is lots of titanium. F6 is where a new game takes place. F5 (green circle) is where the ingame guide takes you AFTER F6.


Your going to need a raft and will be crossing open ocean waters. Sharks in these waters are frenzied and will chase you to the ends of the earth. They will not chase you if your in a boat/raft or wearing the shark helmet.

now head to A11 if you already have titantium or will do that task afterwards (info from above) to find the engine.
Step 2 Getting the engine *easy part*
Here is a local map shot and exact location of the engine in the chest at the A11 village
.

Here is the front entrace of the house your looking for. Notice the stair case multi platform behind this house.


Once you have found the chest. Punch it till it breaks. Then collect the engine and what ever else is in it on the ground.

Doing this will anger the natives BUT its like having 2 strikes and your out kinda thing. Unless you have done something already then a fight you will have to deal with if you break the chest.
Step 3 Getting the fuel *hard part*
The red arrow is the farm i targeted.


Now your ready to commandeer those crops and escape
Save your game and collect the crops then try to escape. If you don't then reload.

About 20 or so corn will last you a long time in fuel and uses less coal/charcoal to make. 5 corn and 2 coal. Wheat takes alot more to make and more coal. 10 wheat and i think 5 coal.


An Important Note
Becareful about killing natives as they will be angry permanently.

Intirely up to you
You could just park your raft the next slot up at A10 just before you get to A11 slot to load it and swim there. BE AWARE that natives can catch up to you in the water swiming (but cannot dive). The choice is yours.

If natives are still hostile towards you after stealing from them. You have to enter the location again a few times. Waiting a while after each visit. This is what i did and they always became friendly again.
Info about the natives at A11
With a full set of iron armor they can kill you pretty quick at A11 (and K1). Even with a full set of titanium armor (90 armor) attacking and killing a melee native with a titanium sword brought me down to 50% health.
thats how op they are.
(for test purpose only) i did not run away or move but attacked normaly standing there with the sword till it was dead.

Just so your aware of this. There is or could be a un-armed female out there swiming near the parked raft I tell you to park it at in this guide. As she swims all around and not just in this area. Don't take to long gathering those crops or you will be swarmed quick.
Tactics about getting out of A11
Red Line = Escape Tunnel
Red Arrow = Farm I targeted
Red Circle = Engine location in a chest (from info above)
White arrow = Where I parked my raft



What i did was make a escape tunnel right at the farm i selected (this did not anger the natives). I parked my raft outside of the other end of the tunnel. When i was done collecting some corn I ran through the tunnel and placed blocks behind me backwards. This stoped natives from following me through the tunnel.

i did come across the un-armed female out there. she jumped on my raft and i barley managed to kill her lol (had crappy armor and weapon) but i did escape.
Step 4 Making the motor boat
Now all there is to do is go back to your base of operations and make the motor boat. Provided that you have already gotten titanium and iron ingots somehow one way or another. Iron is easy to find it everywhere mostly.




Have fun with this boat. Its fast. Alot more fast than the raft and the durability is great as it will not break running it into land. You do lose fuel on the fuel meter but not alot.

When runing into natives or cannibals it will drop the fuel meter very fast so your aware of that.
Running into a stray cannibal at night wont hurt the fuel meter that much.
Just can't help but run one over every now and again for a laugh and crit insta kill.

Please don't think a kraken can't break this boat. It will be very bad for your characters health lol

all you really need is at least 16 bomb arrows, an iron bow, and a lot of blocks

When I run the Game at lowest graphics it still only runs at 10-30 FPS

When I play the game when I hit the screenshot button it either takes it then or waits 30Sec-3Min so it is quite rough trying to get it at the right moment, lost a lot of funny photos this way. I also play at lowest resolution I can (1280x720) so I mean making guides is difficult.

Thanks for adding the screenshot section to your guide. I will use the Map Photo sometime ;)

The reason the PC is kind of slow is because it was a windows 7 that my Grandma used to use all the time but I inherited. got it upgraded to windows 10 but it was running REALLY slow, so my Dad bought a new graphics card so it worked pretty decent alongside a bit more Ram. I will be getting my job extremely soon so I plan to save up for a faster machine so I can do my job easier, Learn how to make games (Which would work better on a faster PC) etc.

Have a nice Day, God Bless and have a great Christmas! Thanks.

jezz mr.gosley how much of a brick pc do you have? lol it can't be that bad if your atleast able to run the game. it should not be that bad saving screenshots to a HD.

what i do is steam screenshot what i want then it auto opens the "upload screenshot window" after that I choose "show on disk" in that little window.

i find the screenshot and CTRL + mouse move it to my desktop (copy and paste)

then i use gimp 2.8 or paint and enhance it. photoscape is also a nice app for this kinda stuff.

if you have never used gimp before it will look intimidating lol

i will add a section for others to download the pics i made so others will not have to do what i had to do to get them.

Kraken has special music, not sure about the cannibal boss. ;)
What program do you make your nice photos with? when I get a stronger PC I will be taking photos for my guides, let me know if you want to contribute.
when I take photos, it takes forever to save them! :/
