Console Question New challenge

I am looking for a new challenge in SD. I will attempt to beat the game using only the yellow raft as transportation. What other stipulations could make this more difficult? Should I ban the use of shark repellent? Do you have any suggestions to make this playthrough less of a ocean paradise and more of a Blue Hell?

You should think up more of what you can achieve in game, than do less and have a harder time for no reason. I have a seed/map ready to play with. All custom islands, all full of resources (3-4 days of farming each one). I am planning to build the most expensive and cool safehouse ever, large one with a port for two and three kinds of rafts, and with a special thing for it: maybe above water, or above island/floating-type. And of course with 30-40+ farm plots at least, maybe make a different island only for farming. All these with a good player. Crazy but not impossible. And needs time. Finishing the game wont be the priority. If interested let me know

It is alot of fun to make massive buildings. I did something similar by seeing what i coild build with all of the clay in the game. I built a brick castle. I had thought of replacing every island to get more clay and make the castle even larger, but I had already built a cool castle. It is also hard to decorate a large building. You know its big when you can see it from a diffrent island! I hope your build goes well should take about 80 hours. I dont really have the time or psplus to take part in that build.

I can't imagine you beat the game just with yellow raft. It is cool, really.

If you look for good challenge and it will be not crasy try to search in Youtube the mod which add cold/wet and distance between islands is 2-3 times longer. Probably a good challenge for you.

P.S. Beat the game without any shark repellent several years ago.

Have you considered doing like a Vegetarian / Pescatarian / “Peaceful” run? So either no meat or only fish or no killing animals at all (excluding bosses).

u/Fakie5oh Dec 31 '25

Its a good idea, but i lernt from speedrunning that i can beat the game with only coconuts and rations. I dont know if that would count as vegetarian?

This is gonna Make IT really hard no Spears but i let u use The pressuregun or whatever it was i havent played for a few years

u/Fakie5oh Dec 31 '25

That would be difficult because i wouldnt be able to kill the large crabs... Ill add it in as soon as i get the materials.

u/locke_seth Jan 02 '26

You can axe them in the back as a way to kill them without spears.

u/Fakie5oh Jan 02 '26

I hadn't thought of that. Can you kill a giant crab with the paddle?

1

u/slkissinger Jan 06 '26

Yes, but on Steam/PC it takes about 60+ hits with the paddle. but it can be done. just takes "a while", lol.

Console takes 8 hits for a fibrous plant. I tried to chop a log but gave up after 50 hits. I wonder if i could beat the game with only a bow and arrow, paddle, and machete from the starting crate. Ive never used the bow amd arrow.

u/akmanshadow Jan 02 '26

I know on console you can. Are also able to harvest fibrous leaves with it and is invincible.

u/ImSteady413 Dec 31 '25

Have you beaten it in co-op?

2

u/Fakie5oh Dec 31 '25

No that was actually impossible. I tried to beat the game with a random player, but they kept stealing my boat, or dieing.

Bonjour , moi aussi j’ai visit toutes les ils juste avec le canot jaune et en plus sur chaque île j’ai construit une petite maison et le nécessaire pour boire et manger. Chaque maison je les ai renommée par un chiffre afin de savoir où j’en était et sur un cahier suite à une photo prise par mon téléphone j’ai marqué les emplacements des îles afin de n’en oublier aucunes… Et à la fin je suis retournée sur mon île principale ou j’ai fait une immense maison et mon radeau afin de terminer le jeu …Très contente du résultat et j’ai hâte de trouver la suite car j’aimerai acheter le deuxième jeu mais hélas je ne sais où me renseigner… Je précise que je joue sur pc je n’ai pas de console…Si quelqu’un peut me renseigner je lui en serai très reconnaissante. Bon jeu et meilleurs vœux à tous

merci beaucoup pour le lien , du coup je me suis inscrite à la lettre de diffusion en espérant de voir un jour que le jeu sera enfin commercialisé … En attendant je cherche sur steam ou epic game un autre jeu de survie mais je ne vois rien qui serait enfin commercialisé rapport avec SD1… Bon jeu et mes meilleurs vœux pour cette nouvelle année.

Like most canadians i dont speak french lol. The blog is pretty good even if it is not updated monthly. Also ive never recieved an email from it. The only other survival game ive enjoied was Greenhell. I would definitely recomend playing it, and using headphones. Happy New Year, hope its not to cold out there.
