Stranded Deepis a realistic, survival, game that begins with the player character being marooned on a desert island. to stay alive, players will have to battle starvation, sunburn, and hungry sharks as they craft shelter and scavenge for food and materials. After paddling ashore, the first thing many survival game veterans will do is begin exploring their procedurally generated island for essential resources.
On the first day, players should pick up anything and everything they find, but some materials are definitely more worth collecting than others. Fibrous leaves are used to make lashings, which are used to tie items together and are essential for building basic structures and tools. Given how many crafting combinations utilize lashings, it is essential togather as many fibrous leaves as possible.

As each Yucca tree drops 6 fibrous leaves and a single Yucca fruit, farming these plants can provide a player with all the lashings they could possibly need. to do so, players should keep the fruits they find, as these can be planted on farming plots.If playing multiplayer, it can be useful to explore opposite sides of the island as this will help accumulate as many resources as possible. After doing this players will most likely have all they need to start their first Yucca farm.
Before they start farming the playershould secure a freshwater supply, as crops will die if they become dehydrated. Once they have built a still it is time to construct a farming plot, which requires 1 lash and 4 wooden sticks for the most basic plot. As well as these materials, players will need to have a crude hoe in their inventory to construct a farming plot. Building a farm from wooden planks or corrugated scrap metal will double its water capacity allowing players to leave it longer without watering their crop.
Once they have built their farming plots, the yucca fruits can be planted in them. In order to ensure a successful harvest players should keep an eye on the water level of their farm. This will require a water still as well as a vessel for carrying watersuch as a coconut flaskor clay water bottle. Yucca trees planted on a farmcan grow back fasterthan wild plants, and each tree will grow back two days after being cut down. Since they grow so fast and yield so many fibrous leaves, one farm can provide a player with enough lashings to build whatever they require. As well as food, Yucca trees are one of the most useful plants to farm as they provide a renewable source of leaves for creating buildings, rafts, and hunting bows.
