Description
🧰 SURVIVAL EQUIPMENT FOR ISLAND MAPS
Recommended gear and balance tweaks for wilderness survival in isolated maps like Island Z.



🌴 WHY THIS MOD?
Surviving on remote island maps like Island Z can be brutal — no cities, no cars, and no second chances.

This mod is designed to provide a minimal but immersive set of tools, adjustments, and balance tweaks to make wilderness survival slightly more manageable (and much more fun).

It's completely optional — but highly recommended for players who enjoy solo, hardcore, or roleplay-oriented island gameplay.



🧭 MAIN FEATURES
• A small collection of thematic survival items
• Increased access to wilderness-friendly gear
• Slight tweaks to foraging, fishing, and base-building balance
• Designed for full compatibility with maps like Island Z
• Lightweight and lore-friendly — won’t break immersion



🧱 TECHNICAL INFO
Sanbox: Your better config.



🧪 BALANCED FOR IMMERSION
This is not a cheat mod.

It simply gives you the tools you'd reasonably expect a survivor to find or craft in an isolated island setting.
No overpowered loot, no unrealistic weapons — just practical help for those brave enough to go off the grid.



🧷 BEST USED WITH
👉 Island Z (Standalone Survival Map)
👉 Other custom wilderness maps or total conversion scenarios
