Island map question

[Lunacy]

So my current run is on the Island setting at 200%
so is the island going to be literally all there is and there's no other land masses I can find with landfill
and if so, if I mine out all the resources(600%/600%) do i just win the game :P

Marooned most likely if you don't have enough resources for first rocket launch.

The idea behind island map is to challenge you to build efficiently in terms of resources, so yes you can run out of materials, but you can also launch a rocket

went in one direction for a LOT of tiles. endless ocean seems like an accurate description.

There may be some smaller islands offshore from the main landmass, but that will be it. Placing radars near the coastlines would help to find these offshore islets.

Yup, there is a finite amount of resources on an island preset (except for oil / water ofc, though there will be a finite number of oil wells to tap). Some mining productivity research & productivity modules in the higher-stage crafting recipes would help to eke out more from the limited resources.
But make sure to reserve enough for a rocket launch to "win" the game at some point (or prep a rocket & leave it parked in the silo for when you are ready).

I have been playing an island map to test 0.17, & also to see how far into the endless techs I can reach before running out of raw materials. Have only found 2 oil patches on the mainland so far (50% explored) & am surrounded by biters. Fun!
