The comprehensive list of things that will give you views, since I see a lot of people in game doing random things that don’t give you views.
List of Things That Will Give You Views
Player Based
If you catch any of these on camera for the first time (per player), you can get extra views.
- Player getting hit (easiest way to do this is falling as you don’t take damage)
- Player speaking
- Player using a gadget (possibly once per gadget, meaning a player can get multiple of these)
- Player being grabbed by a mob that… grabs (possibly bugged, only shows up rarely)
- Player holding a gadget (mayjust be microphone and shock stick)
- Player fighting back against a mob (either using goo ball or shock stick)
Monster Based
Same as player based, you can check these off per unique monster you see.
- Mob caught on camera for a few seconds (this is the main one, do it for every unique mob you see)
- Horde event caught on camera (when there is 3+ of the same mob)
- Spider’s webs
- Shining a flashlight directly on the Eye monster (can be done with camera light)
- Screaming at the Ear monster (counts as ‘fighting back’ in the previous category)
- Slurper (starfish) Tongue (extremely hard to get, you need to be very close- but you’ll probably get grabbed at that range)
- Player Dies to Bomber (unique view req for some reason)
World Based
Getting these caught on camera gets you extra views for each expedition.
- Shot of the outside of the factory/main building
- Shot of the open void
- Shot of the trees
- Shot of the diving bell (inside and outside)
- Shot of the large spinning gears (none of the small ones)
- Shot of lasers
- Shot of a bone (spine, skull, and ribcage count separately)
- Shot of the large vats
Doing most or all of these (though probably impossible) can give you up to 3k views and 300 dollars on the first day (tested). So go crazy.
@Listearge, In this game, recording footage of the player character or the environment will result in virtually no profit. To maximize your earnings, you should focus on capturing the monsters on film.
If you just film monsters, however, your earnings may differ from your view count. For example, I experimented with tweaks and received almost 4k views in just two days, almost earning $800. To test this, I had a friend spawn in monsters, and it appears that the money from ad revenues also increases more quickly for more “dangerous” views.
You will essentially receive three or even ten times the view tick rate per second when you strive for a large amount of “activity” to occur on camera, and you may theoretically meet your quota on the first day. To produce a lot more monsters early in the game, all you have to do is draw out the game.
The goal is to capture as much motion as possible in the camera shot; what matters is not how many different things happen in a particular amount of time, but rather how much happens consistently over the course of the video.
Therefore, for example, DO NOT record a single snailman for half of your film. DO make an effort to capture a minimum of three monsters in the frame for as long as you can, along with players moving around the frame.
Emotes basically ‘ticks’ up your view count faster for the period of the emote is animating, and may provide a bonus if someone comments.
For every game tick that you are filming multiple monsters in the shot, the views actually will count up extremely fast, even if you cannot get comments with likes popping up about each monster.
think it moves too fast to catch. like a weeping angel or scp 173
there’s also an iron maiden that follows you when you’re not looking at it, i think you can catch it moving in selfie mode though while running away, i tried but was super zoomed in and it almost had me so i had to turn around
