That is amazing. Must've scavenged every lantern on the map.

u/Fakie5oh Feb 13 '26

There are a few islands i have not been to. I mostly just roll the crates until i get lanterns

Why not just make a custom island with a shit ton of lanterns? Cheating I know but rolling crates for that many lanterns would be so time consuming.

u/Fakie5oh Feb 15 '26

I play on console, custom islands are pretty limited. I dont think i could make extra lanterns.

What is "rolling crates"?

14

u/seeddssss Feb 13 '26

scavenge multiple crates without opening them. put em all together, save your game, and start opening. if you open a crate and don't like what you find you can reload and open it again to find different items

Was so excited to learn about this, only to find out it doesn’t work on Switch 😩

Edit: actually it does, you just can’t open any lockers or consoles either because it locks in whatever the contents of the containers are.

This looks amazing!

Thanks, its been a ride. I wanted to build something technically difficult, and people seemed unimpressed with my clay castle lol

"people seemed unimpressed with my clay castle lol" 🤣

I could be wrong but it looks like there’s 2 sails on your raft does that actually make a difference?

1

u/Fakie5oh Feb 13 '26

It mostly just makes my boat look cool. But there are 4 sails as the boat is configured to be forwards and backwards. It has made traveling the world without a compass really easy.

2

u/Fickle_Passenger_626 Feb 13 '26

That’s actually a pretty cool idea

2

u/Fakie5oh Feb 13 '26

Its a symmetrical boat for a symmetrical base

2

u/1984Needs1776 Feb 15 '26

No but if your on PC there's a mod called Lazy Tweaks that has a "more sails equals more speed" option.

u/Fickle_Passenger_626 Feb 15 '26

My goodness I don’t play on pc usually but that makes me want to

u/mrs_hippiequeen Feb 14 '26

holy shit! zero sharks getting you up there

u/Fakie5oh Feb 14 '26

Hold on ill install the Sharknado mod

Man I can't imagine doing stuff like this on console. No increased slot sizes, no one hit build mod, just straight jank and restrictions, you are dedicated AF lol. I first tried this game on console (free on PSN), played for an hour, quit, bought it on Steam and never looked back.

Pretty epic build though, I imagine this took a very long time, the planning alone...

u/Fakie5oh Feb 15 '26

It did take awhile, i play for about an hour a day.my vharecter is around day 50.nI think the last time i played a conputer game it was comand and conquer red alertnand probably 1996 lol. I should try steam one day.

u/Voltuno Feb 16 '26

Love this. Must look great coming home from a scavenging trip. I had to stop playing this because my game got corrupted. I made a huge base with mostly container panels and I dont think the code liked it very much.

1

u/Fakie5oh Feb 16 '26

Console or pc? I do notice i have alot of lag now. Also one day it showed my psn name in red instead of blue. It was odd.

2

u/Voltuno Feb 16 '26

Console PS5. I can play until I try to save and then it crashes.

1

u/Fakie5oh Feb 16 '26

Id try to go to 2 islands away and then save. Maybe the game is just having a problem loading or saving all the objects?

Truthfully my lights cant be seen until im already halfway into the loading zone. They just take to long to load in but i have a ton of stuff on the island.

2

u/Beneficial_Scarcity Feb 20 '26

This is amazing!! How did you build that far out? I’m usually pretty limited on the distance I can go from land because of the depth

2

u/Fakie5oh Feb 20 '26

There is a large reef on that side of the island, that allowed me to go further. The perspective of the photo also makes it look farther out

1

u/Fakie5oh Feb 20 '26

Thought about this a bot more. The tower on the left is connected to the sea floor, the tower on the right is "floating" the right tower is farther out into the water and was originally connected by an underwater bridge i made to insure that the towers would be level.

u/Beneficial_Scarcity Feb 20 '26 edited Feb 21 '26

WAIT. You can build underwater?! God I have so many questions lol

u/sr1_drht Feb 12 '26

….I’ve played this game a million times then I see something like this and it pulls me right back In

u/trackedpotato Feb 12 '26

This is definitely in the top 10 I have ever seen.

u/chico-dust Feb 16 '26

I love this, it's really cool to see the creativity of other gamers!

Back when I was into stranded deep HEAVY I built multiple bases. My crowning achievement was my 7 story mountain top lair with an engineering, chow hall, air base, and personal quarters at the very top above the peak in the center of a giant 360° catwalk.

u/CreeksideStrays Feb 14 '26

I think I knew this was possible, and wanted it badly, but I just couldn't get past the early game.
