Shipwrecked SPAWN on Island with no flint?

[wiidad]

Well that was fun... a nice hopeless start.. cant build a boat without flint... no flint = no chance...

I had nearly the same thing, the island only had 2 flint and I'd already made an Axe. So I was ujnable to harvest the boujlders for more. I don't think I've ever seen anyone make a pick before their axe?

[OrangePie]

Always make a pick first. Torch is all you need for night. But yeah, no flint at start is very very rare. Luckily it's a really easy fix to restart immediately.

My bad I was able to make a wood raft, I thought both rafts needed vines to tie them. I got off the island , I had so many monkeys around me I couldn't see the spider hittng me so it didn't matter.

Also bad is when you die and revive... and the island that the revive stone thing was on... not only has monkeys, but you already picked it clean (to keep things away from the monkeys) so no way to get off the island (can't make weapon to kill monkeys (to get what they'ved picked up), can't make tool to make raft). XD I had things going so well until accidentally let myself get poisoned and died. Sad day. XD

Very very late to this but I just got this during my first time playing shipwrecked and the island has no flint. I physically cant do anything other than make torches.

That is so weird because they fixed this issue years ago.
Starting islands always have flint and I have started hundreds of times since they fixed it if not thousands lol. Must be due to a recent update or mod or something?

[Pepsiman]

I'm not sure if there was a process I need to go through to get flint or if its like Don't Starve where its on the ground but I could not find any flint. I didn't have any mods turned on or anything that would alter the game.

I don't have problems with flint spawning on starter island but you could try setting Flint to "More" or "Lots" in the world settings.

[wiidad]

No don't do that.
Just restart and you will find it. It must be a one off case.

"Your world your rules" as the game says it.

There is no harm in increasing things like flint spawn for example. If one wishes to.

Game provides all these customizable world settings for a reason.

It is all dependant on the person who plays it. I personally don't like messing with settings but if I ever come across this again I might start doing it. As for now I just decided to delete the world and go make a new one.
