The sandbox survival game Stranded Deep is rife with beautiful, dangerous islands to explore. With an active modding community and hundreds of options available to gamers, many Stranded Deepfans want to know what the best mods are, and how they can install them into their game.
Many games have a wide variety of mods to choose from, like groundbreaking Skyrim gameplay mods that are just a small handful available to fans of the 10-year-old title. Conversely, an overwhelming proportion of Stranded Deep mods are for new maps, as players look for areas to explore. Here are five of the best mods, presented in no particular order, along with instructions for getting them installed.
SKIROW has created over a dozen mods for Stranded Deep and boasts that “La Selva (The Jungle)” is their largest project yet. There are more than 40 animals and over 1,600 plants and trees across a landscape that varies from sprawling jungles to beach shores. There is also said to be a cave hidden somewhere on the massive island which contains special loot for anyone with the patience to seek it out. With an abundance of loot and buildable land available, it’s advisable for Stranded Deep players to learn how to get container walls before traveling to this lush island.
Another large map for players who love exploration, “Hidden Utopia” by HerjaEldgrim is not for the ill-prepared. The loot and resources may be bountiful, but this island paradise built by survivors while waiting to be rescued has few places for players to erect shelters, and can only be accessed via underwater caves. The modder poses one question for fans brave enough to attempt an expedition: “Can you make it there in one breath?” For PC players who aren’t confident they can, there’s always the option to use Stranded Deep cheat console commands.
For games like Skyrim, even the worst mods are varied, but non-map mods are comparatively rare for Stranded Deep. The “Double Stack Size and Longer Day-Night Cycle” mod by Carlitox25 may be invaluable for anyone new to the game. Many players find the quantity restrictions to their inventory to be prohibitive, making the game more inaccessible than challenging. Additionally, there are fans who prefer for the day-night cycle of the game to be a little bit longer. On the Nexus page for this mod, players can choose to download one, or both files in order to see their inventory stack size increased from four to eight, and the day-night cycle lengthened for exploration and survival purposes.
This mod operates differently from map mods, and as such, has different installation instructions to those provided for the other mods on this list. To install this mod:
Place the file, “Assembly-CSharp.dll,” in: X:\Steamteamapps\common\Stranded Deep\Stranded_Deep_Data\Managed\
Start Stranded Deep
Start a game
Another mod from SKIROW, this map isn’t an island, it’s a large abandoned ship, so Stranded Deep players must know how to build a raft to get to it. There’s plenty of loot for players to scavenge, but the truly compelling aspect of “Starlight” is the mystery of its missing crew. Players who want to know more will have to travel to the island of Albara.
Continuing the story that players first discover on the Starlight, SKIROW takes players to the eponymous location in “Albara Island.” Fans can learn more about the ship, its mission, and what happened to the crew. Along with “Starlight,” this mod is more than a simple map addition, offering gameplay for scavengers, explorers, and amateur sleuths alike. With such an intriguing mystery to explore, PC players may want to invite a friend for Stranded Deep co-op play.
Though it may be a different game, it’s advisable for players to familiarize themselves with the biggest mistakes gamers make when modding Fallout 4, as most of these tips apply to adding mods to any game. Once players are comfortable and have found a map they like, they must install the mod into Stranded Deep in order to access it. Steam provides the easiest route, as players can simply navigate to the Workshop in the Community Hub and click on the plus symbol (+) beside the maps in order add them into the game. Having done this, players must then start Stranded Deep, click on the Cartographer menu option, drag each island onto the World Map, and click “Apply.” Once players exit the Cartographer screen, they can start a new game with their chosen maps.
For mods that are downloaded from another source, such as Nexus, the steps will vary between PC and Mac.
