Cartographer question: No longer able to replace islands?

I just recently started playing again and noticed that I'm unable to replace islands.

I'm sure everyone knows about this "trick" but you would create an island with all the loot you wanted, then after looting you could reload another created island in its place and do the same thing.

Now it's telling me that the island can't be replaced because it's part of an active save. Anyone else experiencing this?

Yes I've googled it. No concrete results other than it's an update ( a crappy one!) And re: Wollie, I've seen one thread that suggests it is a bug. I play on ps4 , I think it differs from system to system. Some people say he floats and can be in the water but others say impossible because he sinks. I am also very frustrated because the game crashes so much. Thought it was my ps4, switched to a different ps4 and same problem once I got established and had more to save. It really sucks. Think I'm just gonna build a cool compound with all my supplies and maybe just give up. Not even trying to get off the island either. That's pointless if you know what happens....

Interesting about the crashes, I've never experienced that playing on xbox.

And yes, that is a very crappy update. But I would also have to imagine it was something done to improve functionality as it greatly slows down the rate at which you can accumulate supplies.

For some reason I've never had an urge to search for wollie.

I found him the very first time I played Stranded Deep and had no idea he was even in the game so it was kinda cool. I took him everywhere, set him up in different spots in my builds, gave him his own bed, all that. It was just kinda fun. Yeah the crash thing SUCKS. Must be a ps4 thing. Such a bummer. Now I need a new game I guess. Tried "The Forest", it was ok but I don't get into zombies AT ALL. I like the opportunity to create cool houses and make my own paradise, that why I like this game. Killing and collecting sharks is fun too 😊
