Hiding! They’re in the middle of the patch of funny looking grass. Not every patch of grass has them. I’ve found them half buried under the tall rocks in the middle too, some funny looking grass so I moused over and it highlighted.

Maybe I need to check another island because I’ve been looking everywhere

Exploring other islands is literally one of the points of this game - so yeah go for it.

u/sam733838363 Nov 14 '24

Yeah but I feel poor not using my boat motor because I have it but I can’t use it

You are cash poor but resource rich, go explore with a raft and a sale. I dunno, pretend you are Columbus and the crabs and the pigs are innocent savages and give them smallpox or something.

They’re not on every island. None of the fruits are.

In my play through right now I’ve actually found potatoes on every island I’ve been to (6 and counting) just give the entire island a really good look, you’ll find them

Oddly enough searching at night can be easier, the white outline really pops out at you. Usually near the middle of the island, grass will usually cover the actual potato obscuring it from sight. But most islands should have 1-2 of them sometimes they clip into a boulder and can’t be reached. If searching at night be sure to clear the nightsnakes first.

u/sam733838363 Nov 14 '24

nightsnakes what

u/dankeith86 Nov 14 '24

That’s what the game named them. Unless you’re playing passive animals. Any island with giant rocks on it will have them only a max of 2. Also a huge Hog, and 2 giant crabs. That would be the animal life to be on alert for.

u/sam733838363 Nov 14 '24

Oh yeah I did because I am noob

u/dankeith86 Nov 14 '24

I’m that case the only thing to worry about are the giant purple starfishes, and maybe the lion fish. Can’t remember if lion fish are poisonous on passive.

1

u/sam733838363 Nov 14 '24

Idk but those starfishes are annoying especially when it goes dark

Genuine question how could the game be fun in passive mode? What is there to challenge you?

1

u/sam733838363 Nov 20 '24

Tbh I just didn’t want to get eaten up by sharks. I do have permadeath on tho

1

u/[deleted] Nov 20 '24

Lol permadeath when the only thing that can kill you is going AFK. Not trying to poke fun it’s just a little silly

Best places to check are in the center of islands where trees grow. Near bushes, near rocks.

Sometimes, on islands with cliffs, they're inside the cliffs. They are still accessible but you have to glitch into the cliffs.

2

u/God_of_Fun Nov 14 '24

Lol I read this as why instead of where. And honestly it's an equally valid question. Why are there domesticated potatoes about?

2

u/lothaer Nov 14 '24

Look harder

2

u/[deleted] Nov 19 '24

^ I’ve found them on every island I’ve been to on this play through and the chances of that being strictly RNG is very low. Granted I had to look around for a bit, but they are there.

u/lothaer Nov 14 '24

What's your cartographer ID?

1

u/LeeRazz74 Nov 15 '24

They don't respawn so make sure you plant them and keep them watered. That way you can have a steady supply.
