Island distribution

Yeah it can be tough spotting them. That's why i was wondering if islands are further out. At least then a general rule would be something like, turn around if no birds are seen after 15 mins...

Out of curiosity, why do you need a blank space? The first hotbar slot is "hands only" if that's what you're wanting to achieve

Thanks Ane. Will there be a reason to go out deep into the ocean in the future? I love the idea of being out at sea for days, but currently it seems like there's no reason to do it..

I wouldn't want to speak for the devs here but i'd be surprised if actual custom models would be allowed into the editor.. I can imagine the computational requirements for thousands of unique models being quite high... Maybe in the future if and when modding support is added, we'll see that type of thing?

Thanks guys... So just to confirm, are islands distributed randomly and can be found in the further reaches of the ocean, or are they generally located near the start island? We didn't actually see any birds which is why we just set off south hoping to see birds further out.

Hi all,

My friend and I decided to venture out into the ocean in search of new lands last night. However, after travelling south for 2 hours, we didn't come across anything. No land, birds, sharks, flotsam etc... just endless rolling waves.. Eventually we did a 180 and curved back home..

So my question is this: Are the islands only distributed in a clump around the starter island and we were just unlucky and missed the other islands? If so, should we have at least come across some debris and other POIs out in the ocean? If not, I don't really see the point in there being a vast open ocean. I love this game, and it's great fun, but sailing for 2 hours without any kind of reward kinda sucks...
