New islands every time
Procedurally generated islands and ocean regions to explore.
Fish list
All fish with icon, value and catch chance are in the Fishdex.
Fishing
Cast out, discover new fish and fill your collection. Want a taste? Try the little browser minigame.
Farming & crafting
Grow crops, gather materials and craft what you need.
Getting started
1. Shake trees for Sticks. 2. In Backpack → Crafting, make a flimsy Axe and Pickaxe. 3. Chop, mine, fish, talk to residents and follow quests. 4. Build a Crafting Table for advanced recipes (the Mayor Office has a permanent one). 5. Town Rating milestones unlock bigger goals like the Museum and the Rowboat.
Controls
Use the on-screen side shortcuts for Backpack, Tool Wheel, Fishdex, Mastery and Collection. All key and controller bindings can be changed in Settings. Walk up to an object until its prompt appears and press Interact. The Collection Journal tracks discovered items, fish, expedition finds and missing blueprints. Full Collection →
Crafting & blueprints
Basic recipes like the Crafting Table and flimsy tools need no blueprint. Advanced recipes need a Crafting Table. Axes, pickaxes, shovels, fishing rods, bows and swords unlock through player level and any required Mastery skill, never through blueprints. Only some other recipes, such as the Rowboat and the Computer, use blueprints. Full recipe list →
Combat
Melee: swords go from Wood (Lv.1) through Stone, Bronze, Iron and Gold to Blackstone (Lv.19). The Melee Mastery tree has Offense, Control and Defense branches; Guard even lets you parry arrows with good timing. Ranged: the Hunting Bow (Lv.7) fires crafted arrows, and the Bow Mastery tree adds aiming, mobility, fire and ice arrows and arrow recovery. Enemies: roaming skeletons, skeleton camps and Corsair ships at sea. In the Arena you fight up to 25 waves with a short rest between them, and you get 15 arrows back each rest.
Getting the Rowboat
Raise your Town Rating to 1.5★, then visit the Tinkerer, who handles the Rowboat, rope and advanced blueprints. Your boat is returned to the main-island dock, and the Tinkerer can locate it or send it back. In co-op a second player can ride in the passenger seat.
Museum
Place or visit the Museum once it is unlocked. Dig up fossils and let the Curator assess them first. Fish, seashells, coral and expedition artifacts can be donated directly. A donated specimen is recorded permanently for that save and fills the museum checklists.
Biomes & islands
Every island keeps its original type, even after landscaping: ordinary islands, themed ones (Ore, Volcanic, Coral Atoll, Skeleton Grave, Arena and more) and climate islands. Deserts (Sunscorched Mesa, Desert Islets) lie in the outer ocean and give Cactus Flesh, Spines, Cuttings and rare Desert Glass. Frozen islands lie deeper in Dreadwater and give Ice Shards, Frozen Wood and rare Frost Crystal. Cacti can be farmed: plant a Cutting on clear sand and it matures in 2 in-game days.
Ocean zones
Recommended levels, not restrictions: Coastal Waters (0 m, Lv.1+), Open Sea (100 m, Lv.3+), Outer Reaches (200 m, Lv.6+, roaming skeletons from about 220 m), Deep Expanse (350 m, Lv.10+, skeleton camps), Abyssal Reach (550 m, Lv.14+), Dreadwater (650 m, Lv.18+, Skeleton Corsair ships). You can sail anywhere at any level, and a warning shows if you go below the recommendation.
