Custom Islands in Early Access

[Taien]

I am messing with the creator and it seems cool, however I have created a new world and selected my custom island when creating it and have not yet seen it in the game after searching quite a few map sections. Is there any way to find the custom islands?

You have to spawn it in :)

If you hit tab and click on the last tab that looks like an island at the top of the menu, you can spawn it in through that. As far as I know, they do not generate in the world naturally. If you already have a home island, you can click 'despawn' in the same menu and it will save your island so you can spawn it again anywhere in any world.

I'm not talking about the islands you claim in game. I am quite familiar with those and have four separate ones I use now. I'm talking about the ones made with the Island Creator and then added to the world during creation.

Hit tab, it will bring up inventory. Click the island icon at the top right, the last tab. If you click that and you do not have an option to teleport to home island or delete/despawn home island, there will be 2 buttons not including the workshop one in green. One of them says custom islands. Click that and it will take you to your custom islands you created in the island creator. Click the island you want to spawn and it will take you back to the game with a red or green swirling sphere. Look around you to find a clear space, and when the sphere is green, you can spawn your custom island.

Like I said before however, you need to despawn your home island if you have claimed one in order for you to spawn one in that you made in island creator

I was hoping too, that we could have community made islands to be added to the world spawned island pool, that could be huge for extending lifespan of the game in the long run, where community could build basically content to have.

That would be very neat! I hope they add that!

Does anyone have experience with custom islands in multiplayer? I used one as a guest in a server and when we hopped back into the game it despawned the island and had none of my animals or structures. Has anyone else had this issue?
