Island resources stay permanently depleted once collected, which means moving to fresh islands is essential for gathering more materials. Travel further out to discover new locations since thats the only way to get more sand, clay and other basic materials you need. Finding rare islands takes patience but theyre worth exploring since they contain unique items you wont find elsewhere

When playing on hard mode, keep in mind that dying means another player needs to drag you to a bed or hammock to revive you. For efficient resource gathering, bring metal tools and position your raft strategically near collection spots, this helps maximize each island visit. Best to thoroughly clear each location before moving on since you cant come back later for missed resources
