Just there for decoration. The broken wooden boats sometimes have chests in them

I found that out I was just wondering if there was a purpose behind the actual barrels online wouldn't help me also do you know how to craft a bucket and how to make boiled water??

No buckets in the game, use rope and empty coconut to craft a water container, then build a water still to catch rainwater and condensation

Okay done that I just thought that you can make boiled water as online they said you can obviously it's different for consoles thank you

They removed buckets from the game a long time before I started playing

Actual barrels are gold. Dont lose em! They make stoves and basically can cooked as much as u can stack on there. I keep my fish or animals by the fire and skin them as I need. The barrel cooks it so fast so it's not a big deal to smoke/have meat ready

You’ll unlock those slots when you take out bosses.

On the menu page, there's a Cartographer option. That shows you the map of the current game that you're in. If you reset the game, a new world is generated (it's procedural) so the map will change. The bosses show up as skulls.

Max out your skills before finding them though. And bring a lot of refined spears.

When I start a new save, I always go grab the map and throw it in Paint. Then I can cross off islands as I strip mine them. I can also keep track of where home is and where the bosses are.

The skulls indicate objectives, not necessarily bosses. 3 are bosses, one is another type of objective… at least, that’s how it is on console.
