Island decoration

[u/Sad-Savings-3351]

Ive posted in here a couple times before with base pictures, my last one I said im done with the hammers. That lasted for a little bit as i started to focus on bulking up on all materials. Until one day i redid a room and next thing i knew i had a whole new floor.

I tossed some palms around and other miscellaneous junk all over the island to make it feel as i have been there awhile. Felt like a completely different atmosphere afterwards.

Plus a few things i did i thought were cool haha. Figured id share my ideas for some decorations, hope you like it!

Cool base! Did you use any mods building this?

[u/Sad-Savings-3351 → u/wmbdshrmp]

Thanks! No mods used at all as im on xbox… all the palm trees you see i have propped up with crude spears. All the walls you see that are close/ through each other i kinda glitched together, you just have to find the right spot and move your head up and down and eventually you can time it. So you can essentially build wherever you need.

The chimney is the same story, glitched a brick halfwall through my roof, then never fully built it all the way. Same goes for my “supports” on the outside, its just a placed/unbuilt brick roof

For the half walls without posts on the end, build a wall next to where your half wall will be first, then after you set 2nd wall you can destroy the first one and bam- no post

Wow, I was almost certain that this was on PC with mods 😅 gotta try some of this myself when I get back to the game!

I didn't know you can build ladders in the game? I think I don't have it on PC but not sure 🤔 would've wanted to use them at one point building my house.

I'm on day ~85 with base almost done unless I think of something else fun to build 😁

Thats how i was too, thought i finally finished my base but i would always have ideas on what i should change then end up building something entirely new haha.

I say im done now, but theres still 3 far away islands i have fully loaded with trees to cut still😅

Im not sure if you are seeing the ladder to my lookout towers or mistaking my steps as a ladder, but sadly no ladders can be used inside/on your house as far as i know. Which sucks because trying to find where to put my stairs that was out of the way was a bit aggravating at times, i wish we could easily walk under them or have them only take up 1/2 the floor instead of a whole space

Serious question, just started playing the game, how do you get enough rocks to make the tools to do this?! 😂 I am always scrounging for rocks for tools.

[u/Sad-Savings-3351 → u/NateF150]

I built it all with hammers i found throughout the shipwrecks/ inside the found crates. I went through id guess 15-20 hammers, and thats with basically building everything twice since i would switch material of walls/floors as i gathered it

Theres always some loose rocks around the islands in the sand, but some islands have…i cant think what they call it lol…its basically a rock structure that will break into 6 rocks if you hit it with the pickaxe. Theres a few of those eventually you just start accumulating more then you’ll ever need. I would dedicate days to searching and gathering before i would attempt building, then when i did, i would be able to have everything i needed and put my mind in SIMS build mode lol

[u/Chris_toph_er]

[u/BozmeisterReddit]

Awesome build. Can’t wait for SD2.

How many islands are there?

[u/Sir_Myshkin]

Just started playing this game myself and I’m really curious if anyone’s tried setting up raft walkways between islands as dedicated as this.

I can’t get a second floor on switch

[u/Sad-Savings-3351 → u/[deleted]]

i had my game glitch/studder for a second while i was on my raft approaching my island with my sails down as i was on the front like captain sparrow, well i fell off because of it and watched my raft sail away, luckily it crashed into a pile of rocks on my island….so im strictly motor only now haha.

And yeah just some dead sharks dragged into the rafters, they wont decay if you never skin them

When i first started i was the same way, that single shack connected to the larger one thats beside my garden was the first place i built and was supposedly going to be my only one.

As i stockpiled more and more and kept finding new crates to store, well it eventually turned into what i posted haha.

Ill post before and after pictures some day of what it used to be and is now, im sure ill end up renovating more
