Board Thread:Guides/@comment-24108228-20140501222705

Firstly, I would like to elaborate on what this is not: That out the way, here is my noobs guide to the world. Or at least 13 islands of it.
 * A half complete guide that someone started and never finished.
 * A list of facts on basic stuff. That's what we have wiki pages for.
 * An amazing playthrough for getting mithril in 30 seconds. This is aimed more for learning and using as much as possible rather than advancing.
 * A guide put on a board that nobody will ever see because its hidden away where only pro's will bother to look. Oh, wait.

Your playing Survival 303. Now what?
Congratulations, you have not only found the most well-run game on ROBLOX, but also had the common sense to follow the instructions given to you by all the people who couldn't be bothered to tell you how to make a hut. I'll be assuming you know how to use all the 5 basic tools, as you've managed to find a wikia dedicated to the game, so I'll pick up from there:

To Paradise!
Firstly, you will want to be heading to an island called paradise (or by a collection of certain mean people, "nub island"). To do so, you will need to get a raft, made by crafting two small tree stumps into a hull, and crafting the hull into a tool (buildings and boats are tools, interestingly enough). Next, you'll want to find the nearest coastline, and place your raft in the sea. Use the map provided to find where you are, and make a route to paradise island.

Once there, you will probably notice your stats aren't too hot. Depending on your luck, you may also find that your face is being smashed in via a chunk of wood someone is holding. If the latter is occurring, you'll want to run away, and head to one of the smaller "sub-islands", preferably the one with wheat. If they still want to chase you, your best off escaping to your raft and trying to negotiate with them from afar.

Assuming your alone/not being murdered, you should prioritise on making a bucket. This requires a complicated string of recipes that will need 2 small leaves, and a small bush stump, although you will want to collect an extra two small leaves for reasons I will elaborate on soon. Firstly, craft your small leaves in a set of two like so: Small Leaves + Small Leaves = Hemp You will want to repeat this process with your other set of small leaves, for convenience later. Now, you get your hemp, and you craft it into an item to make rope. If you made a sail, you've gone wrong, and crafted your two hemp together instead of individually. Silly you.

Now that you have your rope, you only need to do one more thing to get your bucket. You have to get your small bush stump, and craft it with the rope, and make it into a tool. If you were too lazy to make a second rope, you'll get a message saying you don't have enough crafting. Serves you right. Assuming you did do what I told you to, you will have a bucket, with no portions. To fill it, simply click (or tap) on a water source (not the sea), and it will magically fill with 10 portions. Each of these portions will restore 10 thirst, so you'll want to drink from your bucket until your full, and refill the container for optimal time you can spend without refilling.

Making buckets is hungry work. Fortunately, you will find yourself right next to a huge orchard of food. Simply eat all the berries and apples, and if there is any spare, forage them for later use. If you find yourself in the middle of a desert for some reason, they'll come in handy. Once you have filled up on apples and berries, you should be feeling pretty pleased with yourself. You now have a fully functioning food and water source, and your not going to die anytime soon. Now, this next bit is very important.

Firstly, go into your stats menu. In the top right, you will find a button that says "ricktroll". Press this button. This may seem strange, but what you have done will be very important later.

Preparations for an Epic Adventure
Nobody likes being confined to a small area, especially when they're trying to learn all about the game. You'll want to go on an epic trek, and find all the magical wonders of the land. Unfortunately, not all the islands are handing out food and water so openly. You'll need to gather some supplies.

Firstly, a food source. Bread is good for our purposes. However, to make bread, you must first create a mill. This requires three things: Walls, Large Leaves, and Carpentry 3.

Firstly, you'll be wanting to get carpentry three. Gather two small tree stumps, and craft them together to make a wall. This is one of the most fundamental items in starting out a skill called Architecture, a skill that we will not be perusing, but is required for a few things. You will need to make 5 of these walls. Now, gather two large leaves. Once you have all of this, you have all the items required to make a Mill and Lumbermill. Congratulations. Craft them like so (in the order shown), and then place the mill down on the island somewhere. Wall + Wall + Large Leaves = Mill Wall + Wall + Wall + Large Leaves = Lumbermill Now that you have the mill ready to use, and a lumbermill tucked away in your inventory, you should gather some wheat. Lots of wheat. Once you have lots and lots of wheat, use the backpack search tool to show only wheat, and press "E". This will empty all your wheat from your inventory, allowing for ease of crafting. Forage two of the wheat for later, and craft it all into wheat bundles (by crafting them in sets of two), and put the wheat bundles onto the black part of the mill. This will make them into flour. Using a bucket, click on each of the flour, turning them into dough. Craft the dough into Uncooked Bread, at which point you will find you lack the materials to cook things. Fear not, as there is a solution.

Firstly, obtain the rope you made earlier, and create a Handle by crafting two bush stumps together. Make the two into a Firemaking Bow, via the recipe: Handle + Rope And forage a large leaves. Place the large leaves away from any flammable materials, and light them by clicking on it with your firemaking bow. After some tries, it should turn red. Put your uncooked bread onto it (one or two at a time), and whenever the bread turns yellow, quickly forage it. If your too slow, it may turn black, and become burnt. Cook all your bread, and throw away the burnt ones into the ocean, and eat some of your well earned bread.

Congratulations! You have completed yet another milestone! Hit that ricktroll button!

After listening to that amazing tune, you should prioritise on the other two concerns. Water and transport. First of all, make another three buckets. Yes, three. Quit whining. Once you have four buckets, fill three up, and store one by using the store command. As you will most likely be new to this concept, I shall explain how it works.

To store something, you will need to say store/ at the beginning of your message. After the store/, you write the full (or shortened) name of the item your storing. E.G: Store/Bucket Store/Buc Store/Lumbermill After storing something away, you will most likely want to be able to get it back later. To do this, use the take/ command. It works in much the same way, but it takes from your list of stored and safe items instead of your inventory.

With that out the way, you probably want to store your lumbermill too. Now all that stands in your way between exploration and freedom is transport. Sure, a raft gets you from A to B, but it is very slow. You will want to use a sailboat.

To make this, you will need shipbuilding 3. Shipbuilding is yet another skill that you can train to make some pretty elaborate stuff, but we wont be going in too deep, otherwise you may become a target for boat thieves and the like. Collect four small trees, and make two hulls. Now, craft these hulls together, and you will find yourself in possession of a large hull! Make this large hull into a tool, and you have a amazingly useless Large Raft. Store this away and forget about it.

What you have achieved by doing this is get your shipbuilding level up. You will now be able to make a sailboat, and to do this, you will need to do one of the most complicated recipes in this tutorial: Hull + Small Tree Stump + Sail Now, your probably thinking "What's a sail?". Well, if you were one of those silly people back when you were creating a bucket, you will have found the recipe already. For those who aren't stupid and absent minded, it's created using two hemp. So make yourself a sail, and craft yourself a sailboat. Hop into your sailboat, and your now ready for yet another ricktroll moment. Trust me, this will be important later.

The Wide Open Seas
Your now ready for exploration. There are hundreds of paths you can take from here, I will show you one of them. This will assume that the islands are uninhabited, so if a tribe is on the island, you may want to skip the island or find one with similar resources.

Flax Island, and Progressing past "Noob"
Famous for its stunning capabilities for mass production of herbal remedies, but we are only here for stone and iron. Firstly, collect all the small stones. You should find yourself with 8. Make cutstones by crafting two small stones together, and we will use them to make a Stone Pickaxe. To create your first proper "tool", you will need a handle and a cutstone. Use the recipe shown below: Handle + Cutstone This will reward you with a stone pickaxe. Now, mine three iron ore from the iron ore vein next to you, and make refine them to make refined iron. By this time, the stone will have regenerated, create four boulders (which was the other option while crafting two stones together), and craft them in twos to make two stone walls. You should have two spare wheat left over from your bread making session, no? If you don't, head back to paradise island, but if you did what I told you to, make a thatching using the last two wheat. Finally, craft all of this together in the following recipe: Stone Wall + Stone Wall + Refined Iron + Refined Iron + Thatching This is getting complicated now! Ok, now you should take a step back. You have progressed through the Stone Age in a flash of light, and hit the wonders of metal tools and weaponry! You are no longer what most people call, "A Noob". Congratulations. To celebrate this victory, hit the ricktroll button. You earned it.

Now, you have a forge and you don't know what to do with it. Fortunately, I do. Firstly, get another handle. You should know how to do that by now. Now, get your last remaining iron, put it inside the forge, and place down your handle. You will notice that there is an Anvil inside your forge. This is used for crafting metal tools. Craft yourself an iron pickaxe like so: Anvil + Handle + Refined Iron With this new pickaxe, mining is no longer a three hour job. Mine the full vein of ore, collecting all 6 iron ore. Smelt this iron, and make yourself the following tools (in this order): Anvil + Handle + Refined Iron = Iron Axe

Anvil + Medium Handle + Refined Iron = Iron Javelin

Anvil + Refined Iron + Refined Iron = Iron Sword Now would be a good time to have a look through your inventory and store what you don't need, such as pickaxes and your axe. If you die, you'll want something to fall back on (which is why you have two iron spare). You should probably retool your buildings and store them too.

Bento Island, and Raider Protection
Your next stop should be bento island, an island next to flax that contains bento deer. This is a common place for nub tribes to settle, but if you keep your distance they should ignore you. Sometimes a large tribe will settle there, in which case you should probably skip this section.

Assuming you don't have 18 bolts sticking out of your head, you should find yourself docking on a island with nobody on/a small tribe. You wont be long, all your doing is killing some bento bucks. You will be able to recognise them by their horn. To kill a bento buck, pull out your weapon of choice and click on a body part of the bento (preferably head), and repeat until it falls apart. Once killed, their torso will be replaced with a bento hide. Forage this. You will want to collect more than one hide, so kill around 2-3 bento bucks before departure.

Assuming the residents of the island are either non-existent or friendly, this could also be used as a prime opportunity for refilling your buckets.

You Have Reached your Final Destination
There are few other things that require doing, and what your probably thinking is the following: "I'm tired. I want to settle down in a village."

Fortunately, there is an optimal point on the map where you can do that, as well as learn the final parts of your 303 education. They call it, the mainland. As you approach, you will want to restock on wheat, as you pass by spring. If you don't have apples or berries, now would be the time to dash back to paradise to gather some.

Once you finally arrive at the big island, you will notice one thing in particular. There is a lot of empty space you can fill. You will want to take a particular point on the map, which is, (hopefully you can interpret my description), the area in between the end of the large saltwater lake and the plateau containing an iron/gold mine, which coincidentally hosts some cow spawnpoints. Place your mill, lumbermill, and forge there. The next thing you will need to learn, is how to fireproof.

Some Most Almost all players will want to burn down your unfireproofed wooden buildings, meaning you will have to do something to stop them. Firstly, you will need to collect some mud. This is made by applying water to dirt, found nearby where you set up. By crafting the small piles of mud together to make large piles of mud, and large piles of mud together to make mud walls, you will eventually manage to produce 2 mud walls. Craft the mud walls with a large leaves like so: Mud Wall + Mud Wall + Large Leaves This will create a mud well, a source of water that slowly refills. For maximum effect, create multiple of them. Using a bucket with water in, click on a flammable block to consume a portion, and fireproof it, meaning not even a Zippo Lighter can light your village. Make sure to fireproof all the parts of your building, for example the ladder on the mill can be a pain to fireproof.

With that done, you will want to create a renewable source of food. This brings us to the last section of our playthrough, farming.

First, collect some small leaves. Any number will do, but try and get at least four and don't do something stupid (like 50). Using the process item, you can turn leaves into rotting leaves, which will eventually turn into compost. While you wait for that to happen, you should probably start tanning the bento hide you got (via the same method), and make some bento armour using that (more on that later). Once the compost is made, drag it into a square, and plant a berry on each one, using the following recipe: Small Compost + Berry > Process Item This is how you farm crops, a fundamental part of the game for cooks and large tribes that cant support themselves with fishing (if I ever make a medium player's guide, or some other form of follow-up, I'll include that). Assuming your farm is at least 6 small compost large, you will already have enough farming level to start farming apples, which require large compost, made from large leaves, with a very similar process. By the time you have done that, your bento leather should be ready, and you can craft bento leather into a item to make bento leather armour. Stand on this to put it on, and add an extra 50 health onto your health bar. Hit the ricktroll button.

After farming your apples, you may get enough farming experience to farm wheat. Perhaps people might see your village, and ask to join. You could grow, prosper, perhaps even discover mithril and bluesteel. No matter what you do however, there will always be more to do.

That's the beauty of Survival 303. Enjoy your game! Was This/Would This be Helpful? Yes, it was helpful/would be helpful if I was a noob. No, this does not aid noobs in learning at all. And for those of you wondering why you should hit ricktroll in your first few games, if you wait several months, and press it again, you get an EPIC NOSTALGIA OVERLOAD! :D
