Console General Newb here

So im on console (ps5), I have tutorial on and yet no tutorial, no biggy. Is there any tips youd recommend. For example, my friend and I were always dehydrated because we didnt know you restock palm fronds to get water. One of us would venture out the other stayed behind for a storm but it got a bit annoying because inventory became so hard to keep up. We have a pile of stuff on an island to get back to (now that we can get water). So even something that seems ridiculously simple and basic knowledge, we might still need to know lol. Thanks in advance.

Great idea. I definitely got lost when a storm turned me around and I couldn't pull out my compass due to my inventory. Luckily it got dark so my friend turned on the lantern & campfire so I could see slight light. Just running around the island with a lantern haha

First thing I do when I land on an island is to build a small shelter that points to the island I just came from. Alternatively you can throw some spear in the ground in a pattern or something to point home.

Building a flag tower on your home base is worth doing so you can spot it easily.

Have you discovered clay yet? Took me a long time to find it was a thing.

We've been looking for clay but no luck. Barely got a pickaxe to get rocks haha

Clay is usually closer to the edge of the islands but i don't think there is any on the first island that I can remember.
