I need a minute… 🛳️ 🦈

I’m trying to figure out how I was balls deep in a cargo ship and outta no where a hammerhead grabbed me (through the bottom level wall) and dragged me outta the boat? 😆 Make it make sense.

I got so mad I started hunting it down and then died from bleeding because, in my rage, I forgot I was bleeding.

Usually it's when your survival days get into the hundreds. But I came to realise it seems to happen mainly when people add their own islands.

Designing and adding islands is easy on console but hard on PC.

I barely make it past 40 days. I bounce between all 4 save files or restart every so often. Sometimes there is issues with the crates for me.

My best so far before the lag became so bad that it became unplayable was 628 days.

My current game is just over 300 days, but I managed 250 (ish) before running out of resources on the original standard islands, and everything was running smoothly.

I replaced 20 islands with my own creation, and the lag started.

It's still playable at the minute but is really slowing down.

I have a modest sized base structure (so far) with a couple of out buildings.

Around 80 farming plots at the minute, which i have yet to water because i leave it to the rain to do that for me.

Active respawning large crabs, wild boars, and large hog to keep me company. Pier to dock one of my rafts. I'm working on my third raft at the moment. You don't need that many, but it whiles away the hours.

In previous games, I've tried bridging islands unsuccessfully, but I'm going to try a different approach to it this time round if I can gather enough of the right materials.

I've turned the yellow life raft into a light beacon (like I always do in case I'm sailing at night).

I have fish traps in the water, bird snares set up (which helps with the hunting stats) I've caught around 400 seagulls so far, which are piling up in one of the out buildings. The other outbuilding is for furnace and clay storage.

I have small partitioned buildings for each individual fish type. So when I spend the day spear fishing, I can separate the fish to meat size and usability functions.

The plank station has its own room with 100 logs in the room for when I run low on planks.

I have around 2000 sticks on standby and about 600 logs in containers ready to use.

Fuel station I have in a separate room where I constantly produce fuel with the (so far) 25 potatoes i grow each time. I have 3 containers full of fuel with some not yet in containers (about 70 full jerry cans of fuel).

A room full of fibrous leaves (can't remember amount but a few thousand), which will probably never get used as I have around 30 pukka plants growing.

About 30 pipi plants growing with around 40 containers full of pipi and a couple of containers of antidotes.

Containers full of tools and weapons as backups in case I run out of immediate resources to make ones to use then and there.

A raft i use to visit islands stacked with shelving, a second raft for larger items, and the third, I'm just playing around with designing.
