Maxime Gaillard 17 Posted December 19, 2017 Islands are about half an ingame day apart from each other, so you can go back. Have you sailed for a complete tour around your island to search birds (high in the sky) ? Have you crafted a map ? Be aware that the island you spawn in is not necessary at the center of the others. It can be at one end, so all the other islands are more or less in only one direction. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kimbuck 746 Posted December 19, 2017 Craft a map .. place it in a dynamic slot ... you need a pencil as well then go to a high spot on your island, open map and note your facing direction....via the compass. Look for high flying birds and face in the direction they are going/coming ...and note that compass bearing. Otherwise sail in increasing circles around you spawn island. Its a matter of luck, skill and randomness ... 5 minutes ago, Maxime Gaillard said: Be aware that the island you spawn in is not necessary at the center of the others.

I have sailed for a whole day only to find a chain of islands running n/w of my spawn island ..all close together ..i missed the guiding bird due to a storm Also some islands can have dual biomes... I encountered one that was desert on one side....... with massive sulphur, copper and saltpeter deposits, and on the other side .. tropical conditions with rubber trees and coal ..and about a dozen hungry leopards and pumas that would spring out of nowhere without warning! Also look under your ship .... if you see no weeds or sharks on the ocean floor your in open waters and might be better to turn back. Watch out for computers floating in the ocean.... best not to collect them ...usually there's an aircraft wreck on the floor nearby and the ocean littered with what looks like a severed torso and limbs floating around ... a hint there's sharks lurking down there !
