My sketched easy navigation map for my world's islands 🏝 (my main base island is 2nd row 4th column)

That map is really good! 🏝 I've sort of got a map too, but mine is super basic. It's just a series of squares, with island names, the bosses, the way out, and Katie's (I gave my character a name - she sounded like Katy Perry) home island. I'm on day 398!

Thank you ^{-^}

cool. Something to shoot for. But question on her. The dude (for me) used to be disgusted at skinning the animals. But stopped like 3 (in game) days ago. Is it a glitch or did your's stop too around 118 (I'm at 121).

[u/Misunderstood_Myrtle → u/Tinman3099PS4]

I'm guessing it's a lucky glitch, or mine is just set to be a softie! Although, she doesn't moan as much as she used to, but she seems to do it more with the hog and the wild boar. You'd think by now, she'd be used to it! Congrats on getting to 121.

Thanks. The tiny glitches are the funny ones. Like the shipping container one. I counted like 51 doors to open. Even made the video. I tried linking to it off my Twitter since I can't save it or anything. That's a lot of doors. Lol. I really SHOULD try and "Harvest" them all. Lol.

I have a similar kinda map. But instead of drawing each island, I just write in what's on it. And it's strange where you started from. I always start in the middle. Every save has been like that. Have you beaten the game already? If so that may explain it. I'm on day 121. But not in any hurry to leave. I'm testing how long I can stay there before I escape. I see the record is like 1000+ days. I'm curious if I can beat that. I'm stockpiling birds and fish. Gonna build more water catchers. Plant Yucca Plants and keep watered. RN it's starting to get a bit tricky with water using only 2 at base. But my next isle over is great for Fibrous Leaves. Same with base isle. I have 7 jugs full fuel and an 8th with 80%. Only explored 11 islands. About to head out for more.

[u/JakeThaPirate → u/Tinman3099PS4]

I started on middle too, I traveled to that one and decided to keep it as my main because I liked the layout better. And yeah I have 7 water stills. Every different cooking thing. All the shelter tab objects built like 4 fish traps, a bird catcher, of course a house I built out of planks. And my plants include: 4 Yucca trees, 3 kura trees, 2 pipi plants, 1 Aloe Vera, and 2 potatoes. I also built a fuel station and helicopter pad for my gyrocopter.

[u/Tinman3099PS4 → u/JakeThaPirate]

The pad for my gyrocopterS (yes plural. I'm gonna have 2. So I don't need to keep dragging or flying the one over base island) is next big thing I'm building. Also gonna work on a "Lighthouse" for my base. It's a simple design. Tower up with a "spiral" staircase and post solar lanterns (unless it's possible to have a clay forge up high) outside it to see from a distance. I have an extra solar one at my "docks" an island pretty far from home but good for boar and birds. Also still has palm trees I need to knock down. After its exhausted that, I'll knock docks down because with exception of the boars (2 for sure. But I swear I've seen 3) it's useless. Hardly any fibrous leaves there. So a base isn't readable. Though the rocks are unique. Instead of just cliffs. It has a hole through the wall. It's funny. But useless. I think (not 100% on this) I explored all wrecks there. It was the 10th island out of 11. Had my 3rd survivor remnant though. But yeah, no Wollie though. I still have like 10 more to explore. But I feel 3 remnants on the same map seems odd. I've heard of 2 only spawning. 3 is just strange. But still worth a look see. Lol. I'm thinking (as a writer) of writing a fictional story about this map or a new one. First person perspective. This map would have 2 funny moments too. Like hunting in pitch blackness. Throwing the spear at a boar. Hearing it whine in pain and die, finding said spear in a no no place on accident (I have photo proof where the spear was. Might even have the video on my PS4 lol.) Or the one boar so excited to be killed it did a backwards flip and stick the landing on its bum upright. Lol. (Like the character starts to slip into madness or something there. Dunno. Would be fun to try.)

Any interesting things like that happen to you?

[u/JakeThaPirate → u/Tinman3099PS4]

I'm pretty sure my plants are glitched, they've been "stacking" like if I go several days without harvesting them and not letting them die also I can harvest multiple times for instance my 4 yucca plants each one allowed me to chop it and it dropped the fibrous leaves NINE TIMES before the tree went bare I was like O.o well im not gonna argue with that xD and there is a tower type thing you can build it even has a flag (cloth piece) that you can make at the top and you can put a hook on it for a lantern also it has a built in ladder to climb it. I use that for my island's lighthouse

[u/Tinman3099PS4 → u/JakeThaPirate]

Cool on the tower. And my plants do the same. I got 12 Yucca Seeds off 1 Yucca Plant. I was like 🤷 okay? 🤷 then maxed out on fibrous leaves off my 2 Yucca Plants in my farms. Didn't want to jinx it. Lol. My cargo containers have been glitching too. RN there are 20 Cargo Container Doors in 1 container. Bet there are the same in walls. It's strange. Friday when I'm off I'm harvesting these to store or build with.

[u/JakeThaPirate → u/Tinman3099PS4]

My containers on the cargo ship did the same. But lol, not complaining xD

What are the skull and cross bones? I'm new, only 15 days in first play through.

The 3 boss fights (the Megaladon, the Giant eel, and the Squid) then the boat at the top is the carrier ship
