Players ofHydroneerare dropped into a scenic sandbox populated by interesting buildings and places to explore. Right from the start, the game gives players the shovel, buckets, and brush that they need to start out their journey towards growing their mining operation. From this humble beginning, players can quickly earn themselves enough money to purchase the equipment they need to mine significant amounts of ore.
While there are instructions in the game, some of its features can be a bit of a challenge to learn and master despiteHydroneer’s relaxing atmosphere. Purchasing a camp bed and putting it to use is one such milestone that can frustrate players inHydroneer. For those players looking to do so in the game, this guide is here to help.

Where to Purchase a Bed in Hydroneer
Players are dropped right by the Tools and Equipment area withinHydroneerand this open-air shop is one location where players can purchase new items for their operations in the game. Players can grab the camp bed with the E button on their keyboard and drop it on the wooden planks by the entrance. These planks function as the checkout area and the price of the bed will appear on the nearby sign with the large red button.
A camp bed costs 24 in-game currency and,similar to games such asStardew ValleyandMinecraft, players can quickly earn this by turning toHydroneer’s mining feature. By the Ember Cradle area, players first can fill up their bucket with dirt by using their shovel. They can then add this dirt and some water from the nearby stream to the large bucket. Finally, players reveal the ore they can sell by using the scrub brush on the mix.
How to Place and Use a Bed in Hydroneer
Beds inHydroneerfunction similarly to those inMinecraftthough, fortunately, do not need to be crafted. Camp beds need to be placed in order for them to be able to be slept on and this placement function is triggered when playerspick up the camp bed with E and then left click with the mouse. The camp bed will glow to indicate whether the current location is suitable for placement (green being the indication of a proper location).
The mining spot known as Ember Cradle is an early example of one of the places beds can be placed. Remembering to place the camp bed rather than just drop it is key here but, once that is done, it will be available to be used. Though there isn’t an inherent danger to working at night inHydroneeras there is with other mining games likeMinecraft, the visibility challenges alone make a camp bed somewhat essential.When players want to sleep through the night they can left-click the bedand a short cutscene will show the night roll by rapidly.
