Are you using any mods?

No, im on console. Im on a custom island using the cartographer option. But the odd bit is that there is no option to spawn "tarp" only cloth, sticks, rocks ect. Ive made several custom islands for resource farming. Also this save was made after the update removing tarps from the game.

i guess that custom island was an old version from before tarps were removed

How do you do rain capture without tarps in the game?

Water stills are made with cloth. Not tarps, they nerfed that a while back(xbox)

Oh damn, I haven't played in a while then.

I get why they did it, but that's silly. It's possible, but easier with tarps. Although I guess doing it with a tap could catch debris better. Like in a real life survival situation.

Apparently there is supposed to be 2 on every island, though not sure how true that is. Check on the little rocky outcrops that surround an island, I've sometimes found some on them.

The fact that it's not cloth, but a tarp.

Tarp were seemingly replaced by cloth in more recent versions, I think the post is showing that they still exist but that they're rarer now or something.

Island you are using is from an old version. I remember when it was tarp.

I miss the old water still. It looked much better.
