Hey all, I was recently talking to someone about how much I enjoy building in survival games. I prefer building far more than boss fights typically lol. Here's a few builds I've made over the last few years in different games.

Image 1: Icarus

Image 2: Palworld

Image 3: Grounded 2

Image 4: Ark Survival Ascended

If you have any cool base builds for any survival game it would be awesome to see them 😀

Step 1: Start Fishing for Rainbow Passives

You’re looking specifically for green sparkles, which indicate a rainbow passive.

The easiest way to farm these consistently is by fast traveling between the islands added with the Terraria update. When you leave and re enter render distance, the pals at the fishing locations will reroll into new pals, which means new chances for rainbow passives. 

HOWEVER, only fish up the green sparkles.

Leaving render distance does not instantly respawn pals that were already caught or scared away. It only rerolls the pals that are currently present. If you clear all 5/5 fishing spots for example, they will not immediately reset and you’ll need to wait for respawns. That’s why it’s more efficient to only target yellow sparkles.

Step 2: Look for These Breeding Combos

You only need one successful pair from the following:

Your goal is to find one of these fish pals with the Demon God passive and breed it onto a Yakumo.

Important: DO NOT keep the Yakumo if it has additional passives. You want a Yakumo with only Demon God.

Step 3: Unlock the Yakumo Harness

At level 43, you unlock the Yakumo Harness. This allows Yakumo to pass its passive(s) onto other pals during captures.

A freshly bred Yakumo at 0 stars has:

A fully condensed Yakumo has:

Basically if you’re willing to breed and fully condense the Yakumo, you can double your odds of transferring Demon God.

Now You only want Demon God on the Yakumo because the passive transfer chance rerolls for every additional passive.

For example:

So DO NOT add any extra passives to your Yakumo.

Step 4: Catch a Jetragon

Once you have your Demon God Yakumo ready, start catching Jetragons while Yakumo is your active pal/fighting with you. 

Repeat until you get a Jetragon with:

• Legend
• Demon God

Now pick 1 Of These Armies/Pals

Option 1: Azurobe Raid Army

Breed:
Jetragon + Mozzarina = Azurobe

Keep breeding until you get an Azurobe with:

• Legend
• Demon God
• Meteor Rain move (passed from Jetragon)

At this point, you already have an extremely strong raid pal.

If you want to make them even stronger you can hunt for a Lunker Azurobe (purple beam from fishing) and breed that into the chain to get a Azurobe with:

• Legend
• Lunker
• Demon God
• Meteor Rain (move)

Azurobe is Strong For These Reasons:

• Water pals are immune to burn effects. Due to this they are excellent against raid bosses like Bellanoir, Bellanoir Libero, Blazamut Ryu, and Xenolord
• Strong STAB damage with moves like Hydro Slicer and Beam Slicer

Credit to YouTuber “Palworld Raids” for discovering how effective Azurobe is for raids.

Option 2: Orserk Raid Army

Breed:
Jetragon + Cinnamoth = Relaxaurus

Make sure Relaxaurus has:

• Legend
• Demon God
• Meteor Rain (move)

Then breed:
Relaxaurus + Grizzbolt = Orserk

Again, aim for:

• Legend
• Demon God
• Meteor Rain

 

From there, you can begin building your full Orserk raid army. They are a dragon pal who has stab with moves like meteor rain, and beam slicer. 

Final Recommendation: Neptilius 

Using your Demon God Yakumo, catch Neptilius until you get one with:

• Legend
• Lunker
• Demon God

Then begin breeding your Neptilius army.

Like Azurobe, Neptilius is also immune to burn effects due to being a water pal, making it another excellent raid option.

I see a lot of people struggling with raids, so hopefully this helps in some way. 

P.S. I feel this is obvious, but just in case. Make sure to fill out any final passives you need to your army. Things like Serenity/Musclehead, etc. 

You can buy these from the surgery table for 50k gold. If you don't have these at your surgery table you get the muscle head implant by turning in bounty tokens to the officers in the villages. You get the serenity implant from progressing in the arena (found to the east of the large desert). 

Edit: Once You have the perfect pals for raids you’ll want to condense them to max level. The easiest way to max all these pals out is to get multiple breeding stations running pairs of these at the same time.

On these breeding pairs give them all nocturnal and philanthropist from the surgery tab.

Also get yourself a braloha. Fully condense them and add them to that breeding base.

By having the breeding pairs with both those passives and a maxed braloha the pals will be creating eggs much faster. It will go from being 5 minutes per egg to 1 minute and 25 seconds.

Then for souls you’ve got 2 primary ways.
Breed and butcher Anubis/necromus. Make sure those pals have philanthropist and nocturnal to get them faster.

Also utilize the expedition station. The more pals you already have condensed the more effective this method becomes.

I am curious what streaming revenue looks like on twitch with Adsense/subs. How much you make, vs how much you stream, and average viewer count. I have a YouTube channel with 26k subs and make decent money with Adsense there (with short form and long form content). Going forward I am going to start streaming as well. I am just not sure whether YouTube or twitch makes more sense. Currently I stream from my PS5, so streaming to both isn’t an option at the moment. In the future I should be able to get a gaming pc to stream to both, but the wife and kids needs have been the priority at the moment. Any info you can share would be greatly appreciated 😀

Hey all,
I am curious what survival game you think has the best combat. I have 1000s of hours in the genre, however I’ve only ever played on console.

Personally in my opinion I think V Rising & Grounded 2 have some of the best overall combat. But what’s your thoughts?

After spending over 200 hours experiencing the console version of the game, and progressing through open world, I’ve put together a list of what I believe are the most effective attachments for each piece of gear.

Please share whether you agree or disagree. Also, I hope this provides some helpful guidance for newer players.

Axe/Pickaxe/Sledgehammer: 20% Increase Attack Speed (Advanced Attack Speed Attachment)

• This pairs nicely with the 1% instant hit in the talent tree for Stone/Ore/Trees.

 

Hammer: Repair 12% Faster & Use 20% Less Stamina (Advanced Repair Speed Attachment)

-Great for defense on missions, storm repairs and when running geysers. 

Sickle: 50% Harvest Bonus (Advanced Reaping Attachment)

• Combine this bonus with a high end sickle, fertilizer, watered plots, bees, other farming buffs and you’ll be swimming in crops.

 

Helmet: 15% crit damage & see world bosses (Tracking Attachment)

• More Damage…Stuff Goes Boom!

Chest: Extra Food Buff (Nutrition Attachment)

• You get the 4th slot through a talent in the food tree, then the 5th here. Food Is Insane In This Game. Eat Like A King/Queen.

 

Arms: -30% Stamina Consumed By Tool Actions, -20% Wear Rate Of Items (Advanced Calibrated Grip Attachment) or 10kg Weight Capacity & 4 Additional Inventory Slots (Advanced Pockets Attachment)

• I Personally prefer the calibrated grip when mining or using the shovel for clearing roofs(Insane stamina saver), but the pockets are great too.

 

Legs: 40% Health Regen & 10% physical Resistance (Advanced Plating Attachment) or 10kg Weight Capacity & 4 Additional Inventory Slots (Advanced Pockets Attachment)

• Both Are Awesome choices, player preference.

 

Feet: 20% Falling Resistance & 40% Chance To Avoid A Sprain When Taking Fall Damage (Advanced Rubberized Attachment), there could be an argument made for the Advanced Aerodynamic Attachment 30% Climbing Speed, -30% Stamina When Jumping & 30% Swimming Speed (just not my preference). 

• Neither Are Great, so take what fits your play style best.

 

Knife: 20% More Melee Damage (Advanced Melee Damage Attachment), or 40% chance to cause electroshock on hit with attacks (Electroshock Attachment)

 - Both Are Solid Options, One Offers Better DPS While The Other Offers Better Survivability 

Spear: 20% More Melee Damage (Advanced Melee Damage Attachment)

• Keep Enemies At Range & Make Each Headshot Impactful

Bow: +25% Rate Of Fire, +25% Reload Speed, +50% Charge Speed (Rapid Fire Attachment)

• Channel Your Inner Hawkeye & Enjoy A Fun Montage When Clearing Areas

 

Crossbow: 45% chance To Fire An additional Projectile, +25% Projectile Damage, +25% Over Penetration Damage (Prototype Notch Attachment)

• Huge Single Target Damage While Still Being Very Efficient With Ammo

Pistol: +40% Projectile Damage, +40% critical Damage, +60% Hardened Point Penetration (Advanced Handcannon Attachment)

• Great way to start a fight, massive damage  with an opening shot

Rifle: 40% More Stealth Damage, -30% Perceived Threat (Advanced Silencer Attachment), or +60% Zoom While Aiming, +35% Crit Damage, 50% Hardened Point Penetration (Advanced Sniper Scope Attachment)

• Both Can Be Solid Choices. You could Run 2. The stealth one for an opening shot, and then the other for the remainder of the fight.

 

Shotgun: -40% Accuracy With Shotguns, +40% Projectile Damage, -25% Crit Damage ( Barrel Widening Attachment) or +40 Accuracy With Shotguns,  +25% crit damage (Advanced Narrow Barrel Attachment)

• Widening is solid for clearing small groups of mobs
• Narrow is great for high single target damage
