How can i start game on island from cartographer?

[intrusive thoughts]

I want to choose. Not to play on random island

At the moment you cannot, you start on the center.

There is one way to do this.

1. Start a game the normal way, but immediately row to another island. Build a shelter and save the game. Now exit the game and open the cartographer. You will see the world map. You are located in the red square, and you shouldn't be in the center now.

2. Next, drag a custom island to the center square and apply the change.

3. Save changes and start a new game. Be sure to say you want to use the existing map!
You will start in your custom center island.
Do not make the island too big or you will spawn inside of it.
