@@FoxTreeSky They have added a moonstone detector! Once you get it, there’s a blue ring that surrounds the compass, telling you that you’re “close” to one.
Thanks for the video! I'm glad I wasn't the only one searching for clay for a while. An extra little tip I found is that once you've opened a loot chest, you can pick it up by holding R and take it home to use for storage so no need to craft more of them!

Other than coming soon is there any timeframe on when we might see Switch release? Loved the video, some good tips I'll come back to once it does come to the Switch.
What a great tips/tricks video as always!!! You’re a life saver. It looks like so much fun and has tons to keep you busy. Can’t wait till it’s out on Switch! ☺️ I just love all your videos! Hi from Manitoba Canada!
For anyone posting that the control + mouse wheel doesn't work for zooming out - pretty sure that was a dev tool as the early access people actually got was the beta version of the game. That command never worked with the official release version.
It gets a bit complex at first but then it's pretty simple to figure things out. Use brooms to travel, collect resources, fight against monsters, and exploring is the whole gameplay loop (it's still very free though - the quests are very loose and it's something you can just casually do sometimes)
I’m a bit late as I just got this game and you may have mentioned them since, but I found that the statue where you get the return flute can be right clicked daily, marking it sparkle. It’ll give you an item where the flute was the day after. I also got some spirits with useful other abilities, like the eevee one increases your social chances by 5% and the apple worm one cuts grass it goes over. I forgot their names.
Do you know if there's a way to get the map to zoom out (hunting for moonstones!) with the gamepad/controller? I prefer a controller, and I couldn't get the way you described for mouse and keyboard to work (holding ctrl and scrolling just cycled through inventory).
Pressing CTRL and using rhe center roller is not zooming out for me. I have both controler and mouse. I looked at the settings and it says M for map but nothing else.
@@pedroeugenio1975 I think I watched play through and someone sa8d it was a feature during testing but it has been removed. The medalion gains a skill later to find the moonstones. But I did not notice what triggered the addition. The different lines glow as you get closer. It is still confusing for me at this point. I am sure i will figure out how to read it. The medallion's capabilities could be a new post for Josh.
New things I learned from the video: 1. You can harvest seeds from new plants with the scythe. I was searching for so long and it's already summer... 2. You can place the food for the spirits into the stall. I've always fed the spirits directly. 3. You can zoom out?! ... Oh, just read this isn't a "feature" anymore.
A spirit that will do poison damage is super helpful since the earth spirits are usually weak to poison and it can keep on dealing damage even when their armour is back up
Hey, thank you for the tips! Does anyone know how to switch the positions of the spirits in the battle? For example, I need spirit with more Def to be in front, not in the back >
I'm SO looking forward to this game. It looks adorable, and the monsters look so unusual, so I'm sure there will be a lot of fun surprises along the way. Thanks for the tips in advance: honestly, I would never have thought that Earth monsters would be where you'd get clay, either. It's kind of a hilarious detail, though!
The game is compatible with controller but trying to hold down the left trigger button to open the tool wheel doesn't work. Not sure if it's me or if it's a bug
Do you need to unlock a skill or something in order to fish? I bought the fishing rod and I am 2 days in game and I can select every tool but the fishing rod.
Make a bunch of sprinklers with the copper and iron and cut down all wild plants you find for their seeds. Investing in the skill for a third seed may be able to carry your crop needs for that whole month without having to buy or water any of your crops.
Does anyone know why the spirits I battle always have a lock in front of their heart?? I can’t feed them with a lock, or it seems like nothing happens when I do…?
If you keep fighting spirits you'll soon level up and one of the options is to be able to tame spirits of a higher level! This should unlock many more of those for you to tame. I don't believe this is down to medallion/barn space because it should still let you tame them if you have no space but will then force you to release them
You can do so using the mirror of introspection, which can be crafted with the moonstone enchanter. I don't remember exactly how you unlock the recipe, but it shouldn't take too long!
I love games like this but idk its a large area and theres a lot of things thrown at you i forget how to do things and just run around trying to figure it out. I mostly dont get that much past the intro at this point. It seems like a great game just i don't think its super user friendly at first when your playing blind as a new player. Thats my only complaint with the game cause the combat was fun and its beautiful and theres a lot of characters i love that.
a little disclaimer from my experience with Moonstone Island on the Switch: DON‘T BUY IT! I brought another Raw Fury game on the Switch with the name Monster Sanctuary and the game had a bug where a my starter monster was renamed after i gave it a nickname when i first got it and i couldn’t change that anymore wich was still disappointing but not gamebreaking unfortunately i need to tell u that the bug got NEVER fixed from Raw Fury and now i got a gamebreaking bug in Moonstone Island where the game freezes when i try to give the mage the 4th memory shard and i need to force quit and the game softlocks me at my current state without any good solution for the problem and i’m very disappointed because i can’t re-fund the game because of Nintendo‘s „great costumer service“ where you can’t re-fund ANY game you ever brought at the eShop so again just don’t buy it please 🙅♀️ and do your wallet the favor of saving your 20 bucks for something else :( and don’t get me wrong Josh has nothing to do with this cluster f*ck that Raw Fury did here he is also just a costumer and also maybe a victim of there sh*tty business practices 🙏
This game is super wonderful, having a great time with it so far, thanks' for the TIPS Josh.. In the tutorial Dad tells you to get seeds by using the scythe.
I made the mistake of capturing 3 spirits below level 5 and now I have to get rid of one to be able to do the scientist's mission, I was sad! Should have watched the tips video before 😅
Don't skip tutorial, it does explain a lot of the farming aspects and I've heard you are given a random spirit if you do skip so there's no real benefit. I might restart because it's also possible to cut all the grass on the starter island before leaving with no time loss for extra resources.
If I want to go from one level to the other and there's no ladder, I usually just fly off and fly back to the other level. I don't know if it makes sense or answers your questions.

Hi! I just want to point out that unfortunately, the zooming-out trick no longer works. 😭 It was patched when the game released.
why whould they remove it? the feature was pretty usefull
I hope that they will add an Item that will let you zoom out..
If they cannot give us zoom out, then at least give us an "moonstone detection tool".
Awwww T_T Thanks for pinning this, I was about to say that I can't get it to work!

That’s an awesome tip!
Another tip that wasn't mentioned here. Try and get a glider asap. You get the recipe fairly early and it's worth the moonstones it takes
Playing this feels like a stardew valley meets pokemon and zelda. Love this so much. The graphics are so adorable. ❤

I LOOVEEE card games like Slay the Spire, Monster Train and Roguebook! Deckbuilder and farming are two things I did not expect to see together
Have you played ooblets? The card dance battles are adorable and the farming is very unique.

I love this game!! it was a surprise to me that I like it so much, Great tips Josh, Thank you!!
ty for the video, josh! excited to sit down and play later today

So we can't zoom now?
@@adamlewis7676 The zoom was a beta thing. The official release never had a zoom.
thank u for the clay tutorial, i was looking for it everywhere
its so addictive game, i mean in a good way hha
This game looks so complicated but also super cute 😅
There's a lot to figure out at first, but once you do figure it out it's pretty simple! 😄

Is there a way to get rid of a hoed spot?
I was wondering this too!

Use your hammer

I can't zoom out to see the whole island, it just switches what item i'm holding is there a way to change this?
Pressing CTRL and using rhe center roller is not zooming out for me. I have both controler and mouse. I looked at the settings and it says M for map but nothing else.
For me too ! :/

For some reason the ctrl+mouse wheel isnt zooming out for me
Oh no!! It looks like they patched it, it also no longer works for me. 😭 That is such a shame.
Its been on my wishlist for a while 😊
Heard it released today then saw you had a video on it!
Bought the game and came to check out this video before playing. Thanks for these great tips!!!
Can you zoom on switch?
New things I learned from the video:
1. You can harvest seeds from new plants with the scythe. I was searching for so long and it's already summer...
2. You can place the food for the spirits into the stall. I've always fed the spirits directly.
3. You can zoom out?! ... Oh, just read this isn't a "feature" anymore.
Suggestion on how to win against the spring temple boss? i totally cant beat him (well, them)

Hey, thank you for the tips! Does anyone know how to switch the positions of the spirits in the battle? For example, I need spirit with more Def to be in front, not in the back >
I believe that in this game position in battle does not matter. Enemy spirits can attack any of your spirits, just like you can attack any of theirs.
Thanks! I have noticed that after few more battles.
I have a question, can you reverse crop soil? Like is there a way to turn it back into normal ground?
I think you can hit with hammer
@@hannahfowler2483 Thanks, I will try that out 👍

Thanks for the tips in advance: honestly, I would never have thought that Earth monsters would be where you'd get clay, either. It's kind of a hilarious detail, though!
I love the monsters' designs, there are indeed a lot of very creative and unusual ones!
I need help! Zoom doesn't work. No matter the key I hold, the mouse scroll will just change the item from my toolbar.
Question: can we terraform?? I'd love to actually add some stuff to my island such as hills n such
I got this game on the Switch when it released and I love it so much I may just get it on Steam too! LOL it's so addicting
such a helpful video. thank you!
The game is compatible with controller but trying to hold down the left trigger button to open the tool wheel doesn't work. Not sure if it's me or if it's a bug
Is anyone able with the fishing game? I equipped the rod with a hook, maybe my computer is not powerful enough but I find it impossible to beat.
Do you need to unlock a skill or something in order to fish?
I bought the fishing rod and I am 2 days in game and I can select every tool but the fishing rod.
You can change the tools that you have, in the select wheel is this simbol ir you click on < or > it change
@@pedroeugenio1975 thanks! I figured that out.
Make a bunch of sprinklers with the copper and iron and cut down all wild plants you find for their seeds. Investing in the skill for a third seed may be able to carry your crop needs for that whole month without having to buy or water any of your crops.
I cannot get my game to scroll out for me like you do! You just hold control while moving the scroll wheel?
It doesn't work. That was only in the beta version.
@@kourtneydutton8693 I wondered that. Darn that would be so useful haha. Thank you!!
😊💕 Wow.. Great Video Josh!
Does anyone know why the spirits I battle always have a lock in front of their heart?? I can’t feed them with a lock, or it seems like nothing happens when I do…?
It means that you can't tame them due to space or level.
If you keep fighting spirits you'll soon level up and one of the options is to be able to tame spirits of a higher level! This should unlock many more of those for you to tame. I don't believe this is down to medallion/barn space because it should still let you tame them if you have no space but will then force you to release them
My game backlog is crazy right now but this is going on my to buy list :)
I am so excited to get going on this. It has been bought.
Have fun!
How to access skilltree (our Skill not our pet) please ?
You can do so using the mirror of introspection, which can be crafted with the moonstone enchanter. I don't remember exactly how you unlock the recipe, but it shouldn't take too long!
Is there any news on the switch release 😭 i told my friends abt it and they’re all playin without me now
Its out now and on sale
Hey, here's one i had to figure out. If you want to move a furnace it has to be empty. I spent way too long trying to move those things.
Wow, my game sucked because I did not remember tip #1, that's wild. I was about to start a new save or something
The CTRL + scroll is not working here
I love games like this but idk its a large area and theres a lot of things thrown at you i forget how to do things and just run around trying to figure it out. I mostly dont get that much past the intro at this point. It seems like a great game just i don't think its super user friendly at first when your playing blind as a new player.

You don't have to get rid of one to complete his quest! Just attempt to tame a new one and let that one go. Still checks off
@@rositchi5889 I don't believe! I freed mine and captured another 🥲
Oh...I already got 3 spirits and I only played 2 in-game days lol
So that's how you get seeds... geeze
Thinking about getting this but it seems complicated lol
Don't skip tutorial, it does explain a lot of the farming aspects and I've heard you are given a random spirit if you do skip so there's no real benefit. I might restart because it's also possible to cut all the grass on the starter island before leaving with no time loss for extra resources.
Not worth restarting for grass
@@montgomeryfortenberry I restarted another file for a specific achievement, so it's all good.
You can pick up the chests as loot. O_O
Is it just me or is zooming out using ctrl+scroll wheel not working :(
They patched it 😭😭😭
I will say this game seems so fun but they do a horrible job explaining how to do anything lol
More fun this way IMO and matching the style of being a newbie in the world trying to find their way
How do I get down from the highest parts to get to the bottom? I can't be that stupid, right?!
If I want to go from one level to the other and there's no ladder, I usually just fly off and fly back to the other level. I don't know if it makes sense or answers your questions.
