Island cores

[Revo]

Do they keep the whole area working (f.ex. whole amber islands) or just 1 singular island?

[Corlin]

Whole island. It just keeps the entire area loaded.

[ToastMunchie]

Yup, only need one per biome!

The core thing just keep the island active, so all the mining machines, smelters, crafters, etc. keep producing the items even when you're at another island.

At first you can only keep one island active. By island, we're talking about the entire biome with all the little islands you buy until you get the pillar fully upgraded. So yeah, the entire area/biome becomes active with the core.

Every time you approach an island you see the name of the biome real quick and the devices you installed on them just pop in when there's no core. With the core, the devices are always there and can be seen from afar.

You can find a book that allows you to increase the number of islands you can keep active with the island cores and that book can be upgraded with the skill research table. It costs a LOT of glowy white butterflies though. I think you can activate all biomes if you keep upgrading the core skill and installing cores on each biome.

I have seen this said so many times.

No. You get one island core. Then the skill "core" gives you one more. You get two. That skill is not upgradeable.

Please stop lying and spreading misinformation.

It can be upgradable to have 6 islands active at the same time. I change it in an update ^^

In my first ever playthrough I had core placed in every island.

Well, this is awkward.
The Dev seems to have changed it to be not what you say.

In his defense, the DEV did change it to not be like he said.
He just didn't read the patch notes.
