Mark your base Island

[cletgdm]

Is there a way to mark your base island so you can see it on the compass , I keep getting turned around and lost. Thanks

Hi there :) all permanent biomes are marked with a green icon on the compass. Either a green "home" symbol or a tree symbol or the symbol of the element for that biome. Yellow icons are temporary locations. When lost, you can sail towards a green icon on the compass to get your bearings again. Tiny islands (oasis islands) do not have a marked location.

The starter island (the plane crash site) is visible from the first major biome that is right across from the crash site.

With that said, we are indeed working on a world map and a player crafted "flag" or similar to mark a location for your base.

Thank you so much for the help, was getting tired of getting lost. I think the flag is a great idea. And thank you for a great came. 👍

Thank you for reaching out, glad to be of help :)

Please do take some time to leave us an honest review. Reviews help small indie teams like ours greatly. Your feedback will help us build a better game through this Early Access life cycle :)

I will go leave a review right now, and your advise about the home symbol and it was not my base. Pirates were on it , then went to the green tree symbol and Big foot live's there so I let a ghost ship kill me so I could spawn back to my Island. That's what you call fast travel . LOL . I'm going to wait for a way to mark my Island base before I head out to far.

looks like you had an adventure of sorts lol. If you made your first base on the very first island that the game spawns you on, it wont have a compass marker. But, you can still get there by traveling to the "green home" marker, it is a bigger island with a large rock and a large tree on it. It is called the "Dead man's island" in the game.

Once you get there, look towards the south and you will see a small island in the distance. That is where your base is likely located, and it will also have a crashed plane on it. Looks like you are likely there anyway :)

I'm back at base Captain. Is Dead man's island a better place to build your base on, if so I don't have a problem moving my base if it's a better place.

Deadman's island is about 3 minute sail from where you are at. You can move your base if you like, there are pros and cons of it.

Pros : more resources there, there is a trader that shows up there after you destroy the Pirate Ship that blocks the trade route there. There is also a port there for you to sell items for gold via the market stalls.

Cons:
That island has threats such as tropical hurricane, ghosts and a few hostile creatures.

once you know how to handle living on that island, it is certainly more beneficial to stay there :) . Otherwise the starter island is a peaceful place to be.

if you press J to open the journal, then click the Compass tab. You will see a legend of most icons. You will see a green icon with a house on it.

I just watched a YouTube on dead man's island and there were no pirates on it, but when I go there i, there are pirates on it if it's the island with the house symbol .

There are a couple of pirates there yes, near a tent. Other than that no other pirates. Though ghosts spawn at night around the tent area. You can still find a safe corner somewhere to build a home on. Likely near the docks :)

Sounds good that is where I'll set up. Thanks for the help.

You'd think someone who actually sails in RL would have thought about remembering where her base is - but no >.>

However, any port in a storm! So I found a marvelous island of crabs & coconuts (and oodles more banana trees - can't say no to more fruit!) and am making a new base - not seen any ghosts yet

- but a map marker would be really useful, please & thank you :)
