could be more organized and optimized. Maybe i'm ocd, but this game just gave me ptsd just from looking at the script, and the gameplay (for me) is terrible. However, there are also games beside stranded II mods that glitch out on my computer, including asphalt 8 airborne. Solution is either a better computer or more optimized scripts. Well, i'm sad that i've never really had the cpu potential to enjoy this game, but i'm sure it's great when it doesn't glitch.

Assassin,
EDIT: I simply copied script from player unit to a separate file called "player_unit.s2p" and I've added def_extend "unit",1,"sys\scripts\player_unit.s2s";
to game.inf on:load state to it. I think that works somehow better. I think that @user JasJack67: should use more def_extend because it helps reducing some lags


Would you upload the file/files you edited so i can see what you did exactly? Leave me a link please?

Hmmm...you may not have had enough materials? For example, you need 6 cord and maybe you only had 5? Or you need 10 ironbolts and only had 1?

I will look into it and make sure though...sorry for my delay in responding.

Oh there's something wrong with the machete too. I can't poison the machete, or machete blade with neither the poison mushroom or goop or the poison potion. I can only make poisoned arrows and no poisoned darts (if this is supposed to be possible).

Hi, I registered here just to let you know that there's something wrong with the file from MediaFire. I have downloaded it 8 times now and it always tells me that the rar file cannot be opened. Yes, I did use WinRAR.

I have a very old version of the mod and would love to update it. Good job with it, by the way.

Cheers.

KaiserAlexis,
You should be EXTRACTING TO the files to the default path thesurvivalist folder...not OPENING it... with WinRAR.

I just downloaded it and unzipped it using WinRAR without a hitch. There must be something wrong with your WinRAR installation...try uninstalling it and reinstalling it...then EXTRACT TO the TheSurvivalist download to the default folder.

You may have changed settings in WinRAR that may cause the problem, or a registry corruption related to WinRAR.

Buckethead,
About poisoning weapons. You don't poison the actual weapon using a combination. The bottle of Poison should be put in your hand and right mouse click to equip the poison for the next attack. (it's says in the description of the bottle of poison) Only the arrows and darts are combined with poison in your inventory. You should be able to make poison darts though.
DART + POISON GOOP = POISON DART.

Hey, JasJack67,

You were right, there was something wrong with my WinRAR installation. I didn't think so because I could open another rar file, but I tried reinstalling it anyway and everything works fine now. Thanks for your help. Cheers.

Hi Jack, thanks for new release on my birthday :D. Btw, still no git? (https://github.com/features, https://codeburst.io/number-one-piece-of-advice-for-new-developers-ddd08abc8bfa) Come on, some people may contribute something (like me and other people who have Stranded related projects on github) and there are also other advantages. And I'll be soo sad, if your source code will get lost as massive mod source code. Please give it a try. It's not so hard, you'll get used to it and eventualy you'll appreciate it

(EDIT) I made a mistake in the 6am lighting, i was to type color 100 and typed 1100. This makes the light bright green lol. I reuploaded the mod at 103.92MB
If you downloaded it already you can use the following tiny patch. Just download this tiny UNITS.INF file , unzip it, and drop the units.inf file in the /sys folder and replace the old units.inf. > units.inf


July 4th Update Is Now Posted! 104MB
Download from the top of page 1 or any of my signatures as usual. This update has several tweaks and fixes. It also has the ability to escape the island once the galeon ship is unlocked. see diary operations for details on how to escape.

old Sprint and Attack Lag Spikes

Hey there, I've recently been getting back into Stranded 2 for the first time in a while and I remember playing this mod back in 2016/2017 and I was excited when I found out about the recent update, but when I tried it out I have that lag spike on sprinting bug. I also noticed some strange lag spikes on attacking as well. Anything I can do to mitigate it? I've got most of the settings on medium to high except the water (which is on minimal), and my specs are as follows:

AMD FX-8350
16GB DDR3
RX 580 8GB
Windows 10

I tried the mod on both an SSD and a standard HDD and it performed about the same. I also tried running the game and the .BAT file as admin to no avail, and running the .BAT as admin returned an error that The_Survivalist.exe was missing. Anything I can do to make it work? I'd appreciate any help, I'm excited to give it a go.

Thanks

Welcome back!..., only thing i can suggest is to go to task manager and disable the list of crap that auto starts..disable all of it as it wont negatively affect your computer performance...infact, it will increase it..., then restart your computer.

The mod has some large scripts that run and usually the lag spikes are not so intrusive that it ruins the gameplay...but some computers setups run blitz engine better than others. So i don't have any other solutions.

I just recently returned to S2, and decided to try a mod. Survivalist (MM) was recommended as one of the best, so here I am. It's gorgeous! I haven't been playing it very long, but I'm loving the way it looks, and it runs well on my machine. I'm having a small issue, though.

As I'm running around desperately looking for water, I finally find a hollow rock with what I think is water in it (except it's not moving (?)). I'm trying to drink from it, but it tells me I need both hands free in order to drink. Um, I have zero idea how to free up both hands, I've never had to do it before, and I've tried everything to get rid of my hammer, but it leaves a zero hammer in the slot, even when my hammer is gone, and won't let me drink. How in the world do you get back to both slots empty? I hope this is the right place to ask this. Thanks, and great mod!!

scroll your mouse wheel to your empty hands and get very close to the water source.

you can assign most items to key 1-9 by selecting the item in your inventory and hitting the key 1-9 you desire. when you scroll your mouse wheel you will cycle through the assigned items in order...the default is empty hands.

It's also good for planting...assign the planting stake to key 1 and the seed/fruit to key 2 and then scroll back-n-forth setting the stake and then planting the seed/fruit...much faster.

thanks for checking out the mod, glad your enjoying it!

p.s. you can relieve thirst also by chewing on leaves if you get very desperate, but its not the most efficient way.

Thank you SO much, I really appreciate it! I also figured out, in the meantime, that I could just drop the hammer out of my inventory to free up my hands, I ran back here to edit my question, and you'd already answered, very cool!

That's a great tip about the planting stake and seeds (and the default empty hands)--I haven't been using the hotkeys, I'm definitely going to start. And oh wow, have I been eating leaves...any more and I'll look like a big tree

Ok, I'm off to explore--thanks again!

hi tiger welcome back!
The mod is pretty heavily scripted...some computer setups run blitz engine better than others. I don't have a solid solution but disable any STARTUP programs in your Task Manager startup tab. Then restart your computer. Don't have other programs running in the background like an open web browser or other program.

Keep water detail off in the game settings.
Lower the "view distance" in the game settings.
Try a small or medium size map.
Click the other batch file to start the game in a borderless window (The_Survivalist-win.bat) its higher fps.

I guess i cant run the mod on my computer.
I use play this game just fine with way old hardware and mm ran fine.
Alot must have changed.
I hope ppl will make a lets play with your new update.
I loved the way you craft and forge in world. It makes all the new games in the genre look outdated far as mechanics go.
I tried everything you suggested in your reply and in post around the forums about lag and such. I cant find the old mm mod to test it. The link is dead and i assume the old dev wont respond so ill have to figure something out.
A few other mods work few but the seem to just be minor bug fixes no extra items or anything.
I read something about the engine not liking win 10.
Srry for the long post

I found a script error in the console
Somthing about game.inf row 301 col 28

9/20/2019
im still looking through the forums for ppl with the same problem and fixes
i have been trying to find and try different things nothing seems to work
i tried to google blitz engine but i guess its so outdated not much is on it

maybe i need to allocate more ram
changing my prioity only gives it 3gb of ram and my pc has 16.
if anyone still checks this is there a way to manually allocate more ram
