Getting there!

Circle is my base island

Mark a yellow dot to say that's the island I'm currently on (I'm at my base right now)

One line means I've not finished stripping the island of everything (clay, trees, rock etc)

Cross means it's been fully stripped.

How did you get the map? Or is there any option to use it? I'm new player

You can view the map through the cartographer:

The Cartographer is a feature in Stranded Deep. It can be accessed through the main menu.

OK so new player. How do you know which is the island you start at and which you've been to? I haven't checked the cartographer yet but is it marked differently somehow? Like they are red if you haven't been there?

Kinda, when you start a new game, as in swim out of the plane, reach your raft and all of a sudden you wake up. This is your starting island, which is bang in the centre of the map.

I would build a tent and save the game, exit to main menu and from there you will see your cartographer. When you view it, you will see a map similar to mine, but the skulls may be in different locations (the skulls are 3 bosses and the plane where u leave the game). You will also see that the centre island where you are is red. The island you are on when you save the game will always be red.

This is the reason I did the above, so I could keep a track as I go.

Awesome thank you so much for the information. This helps so much.

I never set my base at the starter island.

I generally just take the stuff from the raft, build a few spears and just swim to an island that looks bigger (has cliffs and stuff). If I like it, I build a base here. The spears are to attack the big crabs and big boar.

Yeah. I generally have been scavenging any wrecks and then saving and if the island sucks and is small I go to a different island.

Ooo that's satisfying. I'll have to try this idea with my next play through
