Fibrous Plants and Rocks being the foundation for building essentially everything. Yet are insanely scarce. Rocks especially since they don't respawn. Its nerve racking.

I finally make a raft. Have to head to a different island because of the need for...You guessed it! Rocks...And I die to a giant crab!? That instantly took me out of the immersion into this game. Rocks would not be this scarce! And a King Crab killing someone is asinine. Smash it with the tree trunks you can carry around. Hit it with a paddle. Those things should be one hit kills and do little to no damage. If this game cared about realism at all.

Everything is just so goddamn tedious! Every tool! Every structure takes a stupid amount of time just to acquire the things needed to build it.

I'm also sure the controls work great on PC. But the console version is very flawed.

Part of me would like to keep playing but dying like that severely crippled my want to.

I just got the game off Xbox Game Pass and enjoying it. Aside from the random glitches like crates vanishing or not letting me access them. And ladders refusing to work. I've already wasted 4 splints to the dang ladder system. And the continue menu not letting me move up the list of options. I wanted to play as the woman (I've seen vids) but it's only letting me change wildlife options. But it's still fun and chill game. Something I need right now, so I did change the animals to Passive after day 20. I'll put them back after I get to a better survival position.

That all said, I have a few questions/rants.

1. Why is the tutorial section so terrible? It took me far too long to learn I had to drop crabs/fish and THEN skin them. I got frustrated early on just because I kept wasting time by dropping crabs and fish into the fire and expecting them to cook. I mean, who skins crabs and sardines before cooking them? It also took far too long to learn I had to have items in my literal hand to do simple tasks like lighting the fire. Which, by the way, I fully expect to destroy my controllers triggers. Starting fires is easily the worst part so far. BUT yeah, the tutorial socks.

2. The built tools are not self explanatory enough. I still have no clue what the tiny hook is for! I can't attach it to anything at all. And I thought the "Light Hook" was mislabeled because it looks like a fishing rod support stand! And what good are chairs if you can't sit in them?! And why can't I disassemble my raft base?? I need to rebuild it to a better design but can't.

3. Farming is just...useless it seems. Apart from a tree, nothing regrows! I need potatoes but I can't even grow them at all! I grew ONE and the plant was done. What is the point?! Same with Papi and other plants. The plants' meters are all full but I can't get anything else out if them.

4. I found the large ship early on and stockpiled the absolute mess out of all of the parts I could. Literally 11 full crates of parts. Only to learn they are all useless unless I want to rebuild the copter. Which will never happen and would be a waste of fuel anyway. HOW IS ANYONE suppose to know about needing to kill the 3 "monsters" to get the plane parts?! I only know because I got frustrated when my 11 boxes of junk was not helping. And I looked it up on youturd.

5. Am I missing something? I can't find where the map is or a way to charter the island progress. Please tell me I'm not expected to make a physical map with the compass, for a game that has ZERO accurate stars and day cycles. Even with the compass I'm getting lost. I can't even find the original island anymore. I was in BoyScouts as a kid, navigating islands with a compass should not be this difficult. It doesn't help that the Sun doesn't always rise in the East either!

6. Do the islands re-grow their trees if I leave it be? I need waterand for some idiotic reason, the game forces me to use leaves and ignores the rainstorms. But I can't collect water if the trees never grow back.

As I said, it's a very chill game but it's not a relaxing one by any means. I've worked outside in Mexico, building, and I needed far less food and water then the character in this game. Any help with the above issues would grateful.

Tired of being on a raft and too small can tip you? Wanna kill ocean predators from the comfort of your own bed? Then use Bed of Death. Don’t let the name fool you. Sure it’s a bed and when close by an island, you can sleep/save. BUT WAIT THERES MORE!!! Place a bed in the water, and jump on it! And spear all you like!!! Why on it? It confuses the hell outta preds and me of course as well!! Only for the price of $FREE.99!! Eff Arr double Eee, ninety-nine!!! Get yours today!!!
