Build on islands?

[KillaMePlease]

Will players ever be able to build on islands?

Imagine if you could play on a server with lots of players with their own raft + being able to build on islands! would make a good refreshing survival / base building game.

[Puletoides]

I hope not.

[SoldierHobbes]

It would be super redundant. Especially since there’s no possible way to return to the island you built on once you leave it.

[Maul]

No but you know when you have the part of an island that has a destroyed hut I couldn't reach it by parkour I had to build a staircase out from my raft just to get the chest. It would be better if we could just build on the islands.

Actually the world generated has to be fixed because of the Radar Tower so "technically" you could return to an island, IF you found a way to successfully navigate without any form of maps atm.

I would also like the option of being able to build on an island, just to get up to the different levels. A stair or ladder would be fine.

[Lost Latios]

Vines to climb on these islands would help. Would make a lot more sense. Or, just your trash catcher capable of being a grapple as well.

They do need the ability to build (perhaps only on large islands, (I'm not completely sure at this point) on islands for those players that simply want to make a base out of it and never leave.

It should have the ability to create fertile plots on the island and plant food, on some larger islands it should have a fresh water spring or water fall so that if you so please you can stay forever if you don't care to follow any story they develop.

But they would have to make items respawn so that trees regrow as well as flowers and other resources.

The first islands the developers created are stupid at best, but now we have islands that we can get on without the need to create stupid tall floors or roof pieces to get on. Honestly, it's not worth the effort to create platforms to get to a chest when I can just come across them on the ocean rafts. Some of the new islands however that allow you to jump on them and jump/walk to the top are brilliant. There is not a lot up top so a minimal pathway to get there is good, why have to build all these roof planes to get there just to get may some wood plastic, hinge, etc when you can simply sail along and find a raft to provide the same.

[Gutterman Gaming]

I disagree. However, you should be able to destroy the foundations already built on the islands for extra supllies.

I think mining in the ground for ores would be nice. Some like me, just hating underwater crap LOL

[Olívia]

Or at least build a ladder on the island! Why not?

[City Builder]

Well, really what would have to respawn on an island for survival? Nothing really that I can think of.

I mean you wouldn't want to settle on the first large island you came across, you'd likely want to build up your raft to whatever you want it to be then dock it to an island as long as you have enough resources for any building you want to do otherwise...

Food can be fish or farming which renew and area always available,
Trees can be grown on the raft
Clay isn't "required" to survive, just makes eating happen less often.
Rocks are useless right now beyond that throw away anchor


Pretty much everything is not needed to just survive on an island but if you wanted to build some crazy fort then you may have to do a lot of tree growing on your raft.

But it still comes down to having the developers allow us to build on islands for those people that just want to hang out and realize that if they raft away they lose whatever is on the island when it's out of site.
