Creative mode lacking fun
Just really wish you could play creative mode like survival, with items floating at you and islands. Im not sure if it IS a thing and I just cant access it because ive not finished survival with the antennas and whatnot, or if it was something gotten rid of.

As I understand it, Creative is meant as a non-survival situation. The reason items do not float past is you have everything in unlimited amounts. I use Creative to do a bit of testing and then if I just want to build something. If you just want to see the radio/radar station, place the receiver and antennas then steer towards the blip. Takes a bit of time but you will get there.

Easy is for someone newer to the game with a slight survival portion to it. This is a great way to develop your survival skills without losing a lot of hard earned items if/when you die.

Normal is your run of the mill survival game. By the time you get to normal actual survival should be more of a matter of time and the shark (after a bit) is more of an annoyance than threat.

Hard is ...no idea as I do not play much anymore. Seems like it may be survival but is really meant for multiplayer as only way to revive is with help.

Creative Mode has stuff stripped out of it mostly for performance sake. It used to allow for islands, flotsam loot, and the like, just like the other regular mode, but even that stuff could add to the lag as a raft got bigger.

With collisions physics disabled (for stuff between island and the raft), and the raft not moving, it allows people to make larger than usual rafts in-game before stressing the processing limits.

Creative mode is more of a blank canvas for raft designs right now, which isn't bad. It is the only mode where a person can make something huge that would otherwise be a slideshow in any other mode.

I'm wondering if there's a way to build a raft in creative, and then switch the save game mode to survival.
