Easiest way to find shipwreck and plane crash

[❃ Galiäna Krüger ❃]

found plane crash once on a different world literally an hour into game before receiver made.

haven't find shipwreck, im intent to find it on main world save but is there a easier way to do so other than make new world try luck?

There is no easy way. It is a rare random island. Just have to sail and hope you get it.

only sail to trigger that rare or engine works?

becuse if only sail have % to trigger (and if only encounterable before receiver) then id best start new world

Also considering rare island being rare, it's based off starting island variation, not forest island (balboa region) or desert island (caravan town island) so i'm thinking maybe if it has nothing to do with receiver (since its unmarked, no antenna) maybe set destination around radio tower or vasagatan will have higher chance to run into unmarked islands of this type?

just keep on the move and they'll eventually show up if you keep an eye out. Thats how I found them in my game. When I'm working on my boat I just let it drift and steer around the occasional island and I came across both of them.

I've seen the rare islands at the start of the game and much further. Random is random, just keep going and check islands as you pass them. I found the ship wrecked one on day like 2 this time lol

Hmm ok i guess just not my luck.

I think i've visited least 50+ unique unmarked last week and found 3 tiki (same one) and 7 paintings (same one i own already) and still can't find shipwreck, not care much plane crash it'd be nice, and last tiki and 2 more unique painting.

Was about to ask this question, which you guys would prefer:
1. Proceed with story, get all new crafting as much as possible
2. Play on easy difficulty, start as low tech as possible.

Pro / con
- going with story mean you need to setup slightly bigger raft for each story island, especially if you want to get shark-proof or setup infinite crop / biofuel etc
- going low tech meaning you will just focus on scavenging flotsam and only stop on island if you saw pattern that you never been to
-problem with strategy 2, you will have issue with certain type of resource. good for solo player though as you minimize stuff to do on raft.
-i read somewhere that if you play on easy, you wont get large island before going to radio tower, technically increase chance to find hidden islands.
-navigating on low tech is harder since you cant go against streamer. most other stuff you can get when you unlocked smelter
- staying on low tech also mean you just focus your resource on just necessity stuff, im using this technique to get 1k foundations built since i got abundant of plank and plastic

i have 2 world atm, 1 i play with friend with story finished (he kept want to farm resource though...) and my solo world where i went with low tech.

Ive literally went everywhere in my world. Im on my 600th day. Those two never spawned for me. Only way I got them was to spawn them in. Every nook, island, cranny, boar and locale ive seen 10 times if ive seen them once. I tried diag paths too. Im convinced in earlier worlds at least, they may not spawn.

i mean i got plane crash on solo world first hour in and i didn't even have receiver + antenna set up.

so just wondering how likely it is if its easier to bump into them low tech , pre-receiver

Just stumbled on large island while playing easy before making receiver, so the theory i had earlier is false.

Once you get the blueprints for the antenna and receiver you will start running into large islands.

becuse if only sail have % to trigger (and if only encounterable before receiver) then id best start new world

it can trigger even if you do have the reciever just has a lower chance and you can be late game and suble into one you just cant detect it with the reciever
