Tinker Island Tips, Cheats and Strategies

Explore and Expand

Tinker Island - Survival Story

Always explore new locations. The only way you’re going to find supplies – at least in the early game – and unlock new structures to build is by exploring, so get out there!

Make sure you can afford to explore an area first. Every time you begin to explore a new location for the first time, it’s going to cost you. Most likely food. If you don’t have enough stored, you aren’t going anywhere.

There’s safety in numbers. Aldo clubs. Clubs are pretty safe. Point is, you’ll sometimes run across aggressive animals while exploring and the higher the collective combat value (it’s the red bar with the sword icon), the easier it’s going to be to take care of whatever’s bothering you. So augment your attack power by sending people out in groups and/or giving them weapons.

You don’t have to fight. If you aren’t ready to deal with a threat – not enough health, want to come back with more people, etc – then just run away. The vicious animals will wait courteously for you to return. Seriously.

Buildings that increase storage space are extremely important. Tents, tepees, whatever – if you don’t keep upgrading the maximum amount of supplies you can hold, you’re going to have a really tough time building anything else.

Try to build as often as possible. You won’t always have the supplies to build what you want, but every single thing you can craft is useful. For example, if you don’t have enough wood to upgrade the bonfire, try a workbench. Or when all else fails, spend a bit of food to craft some health potions. You can never have too many health potions.

Gathering spots are awesome. Unlike early-game resource gathering, where you can only acquire a set amount of materials and then the source runs dry, you can eventually craft and use special structures that supply limitless amounts of goodies. Just assign someone to the spot and they’ll rake in an hourly haul of useful things.

Check your achievements. It’s not overtly mentioned, but every time you complete a given achievement you’ll earn gems that can be used to speed up tasks, buy supplies outright, or unlock new survivors. You’ll know you’ve earn one (or more) if you see a number appear on the menu icon in the top-right corner of the screen. Just tap the icon, then tap on the Achievements button and scroll until you find it.

Revisit previously explored areas. Many of these locations will allow you to collect special items that you’ll eventually need to craft more advanced things – you can see what you might find in the trio of little boxes to the right of the location’s info panel. Even if you don’t find what you’re looking for, you’ll likely come away with a few extra resources like stone or even gold.

Work Smarter, Not Harder

Tinker Island - Survival Story

Crafting requires resources. You can see how much of what a given craft project needs underneath the bars used to show time and amount of work – right where it says “Cost.” You won’t be able to start a project until you have everything you need, but you only ever have to pay the cost when you start a project for the first time.

All tasks have two main factors: time and amount of work. The time indicates how long (seconds, minutes, hours) it will take any number of survivors to complete one “cycle” of the job. The amount of work needed to complete a task is indicated by a numbered bar you need to fill. Every time a cycle is finished, the bar will fill depending on the stats of the assigned survivors. Once it fills completely you get your stuff!

Tinker Island - Survival Story

Stats determine how much work gets done, not how fast. If a survivor has, let’s say a craft stat of 5, that means they’ll contribute 5 points towards a crafting task every time they’re assigned. It will not make the crafting process any faster, no matter how high their stats are or how many people you include on the project.

Use those stats to your advantage. If you have a couple of survivors with really high gathering stats, and there’s a gathering point that requires a lot of work before you can collect the rewards, send them both in. It’ll require fewer attempts that way. Similarly, if a task is almost done, don’t assign more survivors to it than you need to. For example, don’t waste a survivor with a skill of 8 and another with a skill of 6 on a task that only needs 2 or 3 more points.

    I had trouble getting past the menu. I attempted to restart the app a couple of times, but it still didn't work. When the logbook menu finally showed up, the screen began flickering like crazy. It was so bad that if I were epileptic, I might have had a seizure. The game keeps crashing, even when I try it on my other device. It's been almost two hours now, and I still can't play. However, the game seems promising, so I'll give it at least 3 stars in my rating.

    So, the big issue with this game is that there are just way too many advertisements. You're constantly being interrupted by pop-up ads that you have to click on in order to advance or revive your characters, which can be really frustrating. On a more positive note, the narration is excellent and engaging, the riddles are challenging without being overly simple, some of the puzzles are like IQ tests, and the minimalist art style suits the game perfectly.

    I really enjoy playing this game and I think everyone should give it a try. I like everything about it, but there's just one little thing that bothers me a bit. Some tasks take too much time to complete, you know? It would be great if the game had a healing tent or a clinic where survivors could rest and slowly regain lost lives. Right now, they revive too slowly after dying over and over again. Overall, thanks for creating such a brilliant game!

    So there's this awesome game, but the ads totally kill the mood. Here are some ideas to make it even better: Make the camp animation more exciting instead of just looking like a bunch of pins. Add a hut where survivors can chill and heal up. Throw in more mini-games for extra fun. It'd be cool if the fighting part involved more strategy than just luck. And how about more dialogue interactions? That part really keeps me hooked. Oh, and maybe add timers to some dialogue options to make it even more thrilling!

    So, basically this game could be really awesome, but oh my goodness, they bombard you with so many ads when all we want is to enjoy the bonuses and packages. And don't even get me started on the excessive lag - it messes up everything, from missing out on collecting flowers to being unable to tap and claim the dragon. Oh, and trying to scroll through options? Forget about it sometimes, it's a nightmare! The game lags so much that I've had to close and reopen it 11 times in just one day because it freezes.

    This game is so interesting with some really awesome ideas. The only thing that bugs me is those annoying ads that always show up at the most inconvenient moment. But hey, it's not a big deal, I still think it's great and wouldn't take away a star because of it.
