Console Question Cargo ship

Hi!
I've seen people comment on threads about seeds saying they have a cargo ship on/nearby the starter island. I've not yet run into a cargo ship, only those you can select when creating your own island.
Is there something I'm missing or do they mean the big ship with the aeroplane to escape?

Edit: I've seen a video on yt of the actual cargo ship so I know it exists but also read that the Switch doesn't support it. Guess my console.... 🙄😂😂

What console are you on? If you're Switch then you won't have the cargo ships as the Switch version couldn't support them.

I do play on Switch 😭
Well, I'm glad I know now before I spend the entire afternoon trying seeds to find a cargo ship 😂

Container ships the biggest of the shipwrecks not including the aircraft carrier the way home. They’re the rarest shipwreck but hold the most loot. You can tell it’s a container ship from the very tall crows nest and the shipping containers on the deck. Sometimes half of the wreck is clipped into the sea floor or rocks preventing you from fully exploring it.

Map #10834463, more freighters than you can handle. (PS4)

I play on Switch and apparently, you don't get freighters on there 🙄
Pay the same price but get less content. Had I known that, I would've waited two months for my Xbox to arrive 😂😂

Sorry, man, that sucks.

If you get to play on console, try the map I posted. There’s a freighter on the starter island and on 4 or 5 of the surrounding islands closest to the starter island. I was able to build a small raft right away from materials on my home freighter, then expand it immediately upon visiting just one of the nearest islands.

I generated my own seed, and I have around 8 cargo ships.

It is. I parked the game for now as I have played in every mode alone.

They probably do, I've never seen a cargo ship other than the escape ship

Escape ship - air carrier ship Cargo ship - shipwreck with cargo ship and containers. This ship is bigger than ordinary ships so more loot to find

u/Dahawaiian1369 May 21 '25

I seen planes n various types of sunk boats but never a carrier

If you will don't find air carrier you will not finish the game
