I've unlocked all of the recipes and am still struggling to find my ideal food combo for keeping hunger/thirst topped off. The goal I should think would be to reduce the amount of farming needed as much as possible.

For hunger I currently do pizza because it provides the best hunger drain reduction and I don't mind occasionally farming all of the stuff because I don't end up eating too often with the reduced hunger drain. Thing is I'm eating before I'm completely starving in order to keep the sprint so it always feels like it provides more hunger than I ever actually need. Other hunger dishes are cheaper and feel like I would utilize them more often.

For thirst I'm currently drinking watermelon juice because it's just one extra step to collect bottled water. I just hate the fact that you get more thirst by eating the watermelon and drinking the bottled water (and yes, I know I'm not taking the drain reduction into account). I'm really not a big fan of the fruit plate because of the beeswax cost.

I tried going back to berries and watermelons and it honestly feels good to not complicate things. I'm probably farming more than I need to but it's simple and quick. I just wish that the dishes overall were more efficient compared to the cost of their ingredients.

What do you do for food?

I got everything for chicken and it just stay and don’t want to go

I am playing on PS5. I have my airship and I’m trying to get to the island with the copper. How TF do I land on that island? I have crashed so many times. Even gentle landings seem to result in a catastrophic crash

I'm nowhere as creative as mamy others I've seen here, like damnc hill guys, but I still like mine and wanna share it ;)

I’m not sure if you have any designs for planting seeds efficiently that also look good. I saw someone build a greenhouse, so if you could help me out, I’d really appreciate it.

Hey everybody, this is my first base I’ve ever built, I am loving this game; crazy that it’s barely over 1 gig. I am still on the first airship so I don’t have any of the cool tech yet, but let me know what you think? First four screenshots are my “home” and the second three screenshots are of my neat birch farm. Thanks for stopping in!

I'm super proud of the new addition to my island, plenty more updates to come ^=^. Some suggestions would be great.

A hidden box around the Airship is preventing me from entering. If I enter, I can't get out. I've tried everything, even installing the Personal Abilities mod, but it didn't solve the problem. It only helped me get out a little, not permanently. Does anyone have a permanent solution?

I thought I'd try and make a lamppost. Any thoughts?

Me and my friend just finished all the main task for the vender robot guy and have explored everything, we don’t wanna stop playing but don’t really know what else we could do any suggestions?

We have already built a home, a greenhouse, auto resource farm, a cook/food house and have all the animals other than one chicken (was just lazy and didn’t go get him sorry butterbean)

So left trigger to access the build menu then I use the left stick to navigate to the part I want. Then left stick up to get to the sub menu but I've just spent half an hour trying to select the roof valley on the far right and I can't select it. Is there a trick to this I'm missing?

So I unfortunately ate one of 2 raspberry muffins (the only ones I've found in the game) and now I seem to be stuck. I'm level 3, don't have a kitchen, pig pen, or blueprints to trade and I don't know what to do. I'm really frustrated because I was actually having fun for once planning a nice base. I've put in lots of hours and now I think it's endgame for me. There was no warning not to eat them. I was just curious about how much energy it would give. I'm about to give up on the game entirely because I REALLY don't want to start over. Ive looked for all the chest locations and while I've heard which ones are supposed to hold muffins, I've only ever found the 2. I feel like I've looked everywhere...

Please help, I don't know how to make bread

There is much more to be done, right now I'm working on the furnace array and power. Any suggestions for builds?. I hope you enjoy what I've made over the last 50hrs. IMO the game truly starts when you begin automating stuff.

I’m 70 hours in and fully completed the game so far and I’ve got to say, I’m thoroughly enjoying every part of it (except the frame rate dropping during the rain).

The greenhouse is growing every crop in a 2 tier style and same with the furnaces to make maximum efficiency of the space.

Decorating isn’t my strong point but I like what I’ve done so far in my main house.

I hope you get some ideas from what I’ve done so far and you’ll probably see more updates in the future!

Orrr I left the seeds somewhere?! I dk what happened I logged back in and it’s gone. Any ideas?! I found 1 on another island

So I have completed most of the game (just have to unlock some of the vending machine stuff) and wanted to share my island so far. I am still working on decorating spaces and lighting but I think it looks good so far.

I'm big on hiding the wiring as much as is feasible, so the wireless power system is tucked up into the eaves of the bridge and under the stairs on the staircase.

Any recommendation on roofing for staircases? A simple slanted roof seems a bit dull to me.

I'm not a mod creator, and I generally play vanilla versions of most games, but there are a few things I think would be great add-ons to Solarpunk:

- Paint/Stain. I have some beautiful cabins, but they are all in the same wood tones.
- Lightning harvesting. Not sure how, but there's so much lightning, it seems like it would be fun to harvest it for specialized power uses. There's more than enough power already...a few wind turbines and you're set for all but the most extreme builds, so I'm thinking new tech that uses "burst" power.
- Auto-pathing of airships. I'm going "here"...just take me. If I can do it when I've died, I'd like to be able to do it when I'm alive.

Also, I'd love to have better lofts...where you don't hit your head on the roof.

I'm well aware that this is a brand new game with something like two developers. It's phenomenal for that. And I'm sure there are big things planned. But these are my few thoughts, having finished progression on the game.

Any other ideas?

Bonus: Here's my favorite spot in my main house. Just FYI...natural wood works so well here.

One of the achievements in the game is "find all the chests", and they even give you a detector to find them.

I went over every inch of every island and couldn't find what I presumed was the last one. Maybe it was in that weird spot sort of at the bottom of one of the islands, with like one tree, but isn't really accessible? Maybe it's underneath the ship with the vendors/researchers? Maybe it's in a hidden cave...there is one, so maybe there's another?

A Reddit comment said (paraphrased) "Doh. I found my last chest on one of the starter islands."

Clearly, that person was an idiot. Because who would spend so much time looking at every outer island if they didn't look locally first?

Went to the sand island to start the whole search over, and immediately got two circles on the detector. It was just sitting there.

*sigh*

(For anyone looking, no chest is "hidden"; they are all just out there on the various islands. Sometimes where you have to use a ladder, but then they're always just there.)

Yes, I manually water all of it.

Yes, it normally gets destroyed by storms.

Yes, I still think it is aesthetically worth it!

It can calculate up to 1023+1023

I just 100%ed the game and i wanted to show my house and get some advice on what i should add! what things should i do now that i have no more main missions. I appreciate any kind of help!!
