My island/visiting islands getting pushed away from maelstrom

[thelostkitten]

I've run into an issue multiple times when a group of island is too close to the border of the maelstrom (even though map shows it more distant than it apparently is). I've tried to inch up to an island to visit, using my own and been physically pushed away by the game with the message 'this storm is too dangerous' (or maybe powerful, I forget). Even when I manually flew to the island to visit it, I've had the game give me the same message while I'm standing on it and physically push the island I'm visiting away - far enough back that I can no longer see my ship (just a camera icon off in the distance). So I've had to despawn and respawn my island closer to the one I'm visiting. So I'm thinking that perhaps location of the island cluster in the zone needs adjusted or the safe zone around the maelstrom needs adjusted.

Agreed, have also had this happen a number of times. Hitbox for that storm seems way too large or islands are set to spawn too close.

Same message for me too. I'm trying to get to a group of islands just thru the rock barrier into the second ring area and i keep getting pushed back from the islands telling me that message. But i'm no were near the storm. the closest thing is the large black area but that is still a long ways off too. This is annoying. screenshot shows the islands im trying to get too.

Something else to add to this issue. since i cant fly my island closer to the islands without getting pushed away i fly with my glider to get to the islands and as soon as i land on the unexplored island i get the message and the island i landed on gets pushed away.

If your home island gets pushed back, you can still reach them by manually gliding, although once you land the game may push that island away too. Annoying, but you can still clear them all if you wanted, just takes more time.

Yeah I know I can still fly to it manually or even teleport to it. I just thought I should report that there appears to be a discrepancy between what the map shows as how close the island is to the maelstrom or that the maelstrom has such a large push back zone, maybe too large. I do still clear the island and I've even used the mechanic to get the island I'm visiting pushed back, so that I can clear it without worrying that I'm getting too close to the edge and going to trigger the maelstrom push back. I just make it happen immediately. I also thought it might be helpful to note that it pushed the island I was visiting so far away that I could no longer even visually see my personal island, that it was simply a camera icon off in the distance. I do forget about teleporting home actually. Its not a feature I've ever used, so it doesn't come to mind easily. I could have done that instead of despawning and respawning my island. If its so far away that I can't even see it, flying manually takes longer.
