Thank you all for your continued support of Stranded Deep as our team works on issues reported to us by the community. If there is anything you wish to report, please share as much information as possible in the [Console Bug Reports] section of the forums.
Thank you for this! Cant wait to see the game expant more! Would be great to have bigger islands with caves, rivers and waterfalls, maybe some river based water cteature? ;).
No definite timescale unfortunately, but we’ll release another update when we know it’ll be going live so players will know when to check for updates on their console
I’m looking forward to seeing all the new raft builds in the community when it’s released!
I would of been happy with just the fixes but adding things is just the yucca on top of the crab cake. Thanks for all the hard work and sticking with it everyone involved including Claire and all the forum mods. Can’t wait till ps4 and xbox approve the updates.
Hello, the update has reached PS4 and is looking good so far. Can I check, the option to turn snakes and sharks off has disappeared? If you remove animals from the game, does this remove snakes and sharks?
Some that play the game enjoy putting sharks and snakes off due to phobias etc. Can you confirm please?
There should be a seed either on the ground or in your inventory from the yukka plant. The light post uses a lantern, it maybe bugged right now, since it’s new for us.
Thank you for your helping out your fellow players @Mtragincajun79
As a reminder to everyone, if you are finding an issue in the game, please submit a bug report in the Bug Reports section. Things can get lost of confusing in a comment sections and we’d be able to directly respond to bug reports and maybe offer some workarounds as well as gather info that could help the team.
For the light hook - I’ve seen some reports that this may be an issue for some and I have informed the team.
Yucca: There should be a fruit either still stuck to the tree or on the ground. If you cannot find it, please let us know in a bug report. @SkyStar
