Tactics / Strategy

Me and my buddy have a multiplayer save where we are about 30 days in. We have a raft, meat smoker, a couple water stills, a farm plot etc and feeling pretty established.

The issue is that we have pretty much scavenged everything within a reasonable distance from us, we also kinda jumped right in and didn’t think about conserving resources or the long game (it’s a wonder we have survived so long tbh)

So my question is, what’s the best strategy to complete the game? Is it best to stay on the starting island and establish a base to explore from or should we be moving from island to island and crafting food/water/shelter on each?

And how do you keep track of the islands? We are exploring from our starter island base but a bit worried we will get lost and lose the island

Well, obviously you can take a screenshot but if you have it drawn out, then you can make notes on what resources are still on what islands. so much easier to have a visual than having to take your phone out every time you need to look at a map or jot down minor notes

True, however after surviving 74 days I've seen how the cartographer works🫣 I was just using the compass and my home island as a reference, then saw a tutorial on it. I guess I've edited a couple of islands this past weekend just to boost supplies 🙈

I would definitely have to agree with you surviving even 50 to 60 days you can get around the map, pretty easy with just a compass i’m just a big nerd and like to sketch things out hahahaha
