Hey, is there any way to change your starting island in the cartographer? Thanks.

to change the center island you need to go to a different island and place shelter and save there... at that point you can look at cartographer, create new island or import one, and simply drag and drop the new island onto center tile and save...

I sometimes do this and make a nice custom island to replace starter island then start the game over and opt to keep the current map so when I start the new game I am basically at my custom island after the plane crash.

Yes, do not know all of the specifics; but I know that you can either change a single island (that's what I don't know how) or change them all by changing the world seed in the catographer.

No, I mean while in the cartographer the center island is in red and cannot be deleted or a custom map drug over it. Am just hoping for a workaround if anyone knows one, thanks.

Oh, and to change them get like the broadbent S4 pack or whatever in the workshop, "subscribe" to it, then in the cartographer click on the "community" tab in the upper left corner and then you can drag custom islands in wherever you want. It adds so much to the game, I would highly recommend if you haven't tried it yet.

The red island is always the one that you are located on. To change the starter island, you will have to move to another island first.

Ok, so how do you change it after starting the game? Doesn't changing anything in the cartographer restart the game?

are you changing just the starter island, all or some?

i think if you start the game, turn around or go to a different island, make 2 stone tools, grab a stick and 4 fibrous leaves. make a lashing then a crude axe. make a shelter, save, quit.

open cartographer. add your custom island to the center. click continue. row to the island and see if bob's your uncle.

Oh awesome, thank you very much. I was changing all but the starting one. I was assuming that ANY change in the cartographer restarted the game, not just "create new world". Thanks for the assist, cheers.
