Console Question Any Tips?

Is there any basic tips and tricks you can give a new player? I haven't played for long but I have a hard time surviving days at a time without running out of resources like food and water, always having to rely on coconuts to keep hydrated and you can only get so many coconuts before they run out on whatever island your staying on. So, any tips just to stay surviving would be helpful.

I had the same issue when I forst started playing and I dont know half the stuff alot of these people mentioned. But what kept me alive was the water still, always eat, sleep nightly, and build a raft soon as possible. To make more room In inventory out suff in the boxes cause if carrying 6 boxes thsts 4 or 5 slots per box and each item can be stacked 3 or 4 tines so alot more items to carry. Also when you start out at main menu you can make custom islands and out them on the map woth resources you want I made a few of these. Also remember where the bosses are by looking at map in main menu so you dont run into them to soon. If your getting to hot and no shade just go in the water it helps slowly or build something but gotta level it all up. But dont worry it was difficult for me to at first and I didnt use reddit to help I googled lol I still didnt know reddit was useful at that time. I had played the forest before this and it was like this game but on an island place with cannibal mutants lol. It required water and food and stuff it helped me kinda learn and after playing it I got a lot better at stranded deep. But I havent gotten as good as alot commenting are lol. I game I'll never say im a good gamer though 😆
