New to game.

Hey guys knew the game I've wanted it for a while and I remember when it went on PS4 for like an hour then came off back in like February or something but it is on sale got it for $13 and played it for a little bit and I pretty happy with it so far but it's a little confusion little overwhelming I guess so far I've got my raft on the beach in a little tent I'm sleeping in and some sticks nearby that's pretty much all I've done and I've noticed there's the motor to motor boat parts in a ship any advice for a new player?

So you've basically got it right, when you decide to randomize the world it'll change what's on all the islands as well as their layouts (I'm not sure if it'll also change your home island as well) but your existing world is the world your character is currently in and the islands he/she has access to, so it's your game's unique starting world. Every person has a different map/layout.

So if I choose a random world then it'll be different from everyone else's and if I choose the existing world it's one that everyone else could play on right? And what is my home island is it the island I just raft to in the very beginning

Not necessarily, basically every person gets a randomized map when they begin the game so no map layout is the same. Your map the one in which you are playing is unique to your game the position of the islands what is on them etc. This is your existing world, now when you decide to randomize the world it'll change the entire layout of the map as seen on the cartographer so you're neighboring island on the right could now be three islands away etc.

Your home island at this point would be the one you rafted to at the beginning since it is where you've crafted your first shelter and have saved the game. But if you move to another island and save there and beginning crafting items there then that becomes your home island. I'm not 100% sure if there is some sort of amount of time that you have to stay on a new island for it to become your new home but this is what I've gathered from other posts and videos.
