Exploration & Survival Cheats: Tips, Tricks & Strategy Guide

At first glance, Exploration & Survival might look awfully familiar. It feels like a game about… crafting… and mining, perhaps? Well, Exploration & Survival is exactly that: you explore a big world and try to survive in it! We are here with the ultimate Exploration & Survival guide!

We’re not entirely sure if the game is unfinished or not, but there are ways to easily get all the valuable items in the game by just going through some menus. We’ll show you how with our Exploration & Survival cheats, tips and tricks guide!

1. Creative Mode or Survival mode! What will you decide?

Creative mode disables the survival elements; you don’t have to worry about hunger or thirst. You also have access to every block in the game, so you can build whatever you want without having to obtain it first. Survival mode, on the other hand, enables the hunger and thirst meters, and you have to find every block and material you want. If you just want to build, play creative. If you’re in it to win it, play survival!

2. “Axe” the trees some questions!

The first thing you’re going to want to do it cut down a tree. Yes, with your bare fists! Once you get a wood block, you can turn it into planks. Crafting two planks creates sticks, which are the building blocks to almost all of the tools. To make an Axe, which speeds up cutting down trees, put materials in this fashion:

_PP

_S_

_S_

With S being sticks and P being planks. Voila, you have an axe! If you use stronger material, such as stone, you’ll get an axe that lasts longer. This is the starting step to crafting, so be sure to stock up on wood!

3. Keep an eye out for chests!

There’s a way to get all the items in the game (explained below), but if you want to play the regular way, keep an eye out for chests. They’re scattered throughout your world and they have valuable goodies inside them, like swords and materials. Scan the environment and open them right away if you see them!

4. Take advantage of the free move!

At any time, even if you’re playing Survival mode, there’s a button at the right side of the screen that looks like a circle surrounded by four triangles. This button enables free move, which lets you fly through the sky, letting you travel wherever you please. If you want to zip around without having to run, use it!

5. Reset the game for easy nourishment!

Normally you have to eat apples to restore hunger and thirst, but I discovered a bug: if you close the game, and reload your world, your hunger and thirst levels will be restored. If you’re running low and you can’t find any apples, be sure to abuse this trick!

6. Open the HG Maker for access to all of the items!

I’m not sure if this was intentional or not or if the game just isn’t finished, but regardless of you playing survival or creative mode, if you open your inventory there will be a button that says “HG Maker” at the top left. Tapping this button will bring up a list of every single item in the game, in which you can drag from the list and pop it into your inventory and just like that you have the item! This makes it so that you have access to the strongest stuff whenever you please, so you can always have a diamond sword if you so wish.

So, in all, Exploration & Survival is an easily exploitable game. Just tool around with the options and you can get everything you want! If you have any other questions or suggestions, leave a comment below!
