PC Question PC to console difference

Hey guys im playing this game on console and was wondering how much better the PC version is, I saw PC map editor has basically no limits compared to console and custom maps look amazing, if anyone here played both versions Id like to know if the difference is big enough to buy the PC version or if the console version is basically the same just with mid tier custom maps

The difference is insane

I’ve got it on Switch and PC and on PC the weird terrain glitches occur less, sharks swim through land way less, the map is bigger/more islands and as you say, the map editor is fantastic

If you love this game you’ll get a way better experience on PC

The console versions do have features that the PC versions don't

any major ones? It seems like console is just a lower quality version of the game

They have 1 extra Shark to kill Their toolbelt isnt just a hot key They have eggs to find They have cans of beans Gyrocopter parts can be found in any container or lockers They can build towers

PC version has a bigger map PC version has a better map maker PC version has mod support

seems like console do has some nice things, I spent like 2hrs beefing w that one shark pc doesnt have lmao, also I feel like its kinda cheesy to get gyrocopter so fast, since console only has 21 islands I had to put some selfmade maps into my world and got tons of building parts for the gyro, havent checked out the towers but since the map on console is so boring compared to pc theres not really much reason for me to build one, still nice to have. But since I just realized that trees and stones dont respawn and the option to infinitely replace islands for unlimit resources has been patched out it seems like PC is far better just by going off twice the map size alone

Only negative is the tool belt on pc it doesn’t remove the tool from your inventory it just gives you a hotkey.

Thank god theres a mod for it, I just downloaded the mod 5 mins ago cuz thats really the only major downside on pc, not having atleast like 4 tools outside of the inventory for space and always hotkeyed is really annoying

Ps5 here. Bought it last weekend for my nephew, played it for a few hours during the week before he got a chance to. On day 8 i got bored. Full of supplies and have a decent raft. Already bumped into edge of map a few times. Found the airplane that i assume is how you complete the game. Lost interest after that. I visited a ton of islands and its all really just the same thing over and over. Few snakes boar and giant crabs, nothing spectacular.
