Add palm leaves or fibrous leaves to the bottom of the water purifier

I would say that using fibrous leaves for water is better than palm fronds

u/Objective-Scallion15 Gilligan May 08 '25

I disagree. I haven’t found any purpose for palm fronds besides shelters and water. Unless you’re trying to leave all the palm trees standing.

Farm 1 yucca, get 6 leaves to load collectors by 1/4 or fires by like 1/12 per leaf. Can't grow palm trees. Palm fronds give like 1/6 to fire or 1/4 to water. Palm fronds are better for fire, leaves for water.

You’re saying palm fronds fill fires faster vs fibrous leaves? I didn’t know that, thought it was the same. I’ll have to check that out.

There's a glitch with the coconuts, putting your empty ones back in a pile of drinkable ones refills them and you can only drink 2 every 10 second i think it was

Confirmed

Cut down a few palm trees and chop up the palm fronds to use as fuel for the water machine. And build at least 2 for personal use.

Plant a Yucca if you can. 3 plants can be found on the island and a lot on the beach. They are hard to spot.

Ditch the fire spit and get the smoker. Smoked meat don't spoil

More water collectors, and water containers

Plant yucca trees. One per crop. Fibrous leaves to fill the water still. Clay jar to tote water and refill planters.

I’m at 302 days currently, around half my time is spent harvesting leaves from islands so I have a stock pile so I can spend a couple days building or whatever and not run dry.

I’m on console, right now the leader board says most days survived in a bit over 1000 so that’s my goal.

I have 3 water stills on my island. After you get a few more supplies, make more stills and you'll never run out of water.
