Islands: How To Play
When you start, you’ll spawn on a small personal island with basic tools like a pickaxe. You have to follow the instructions to progress in the game. The initial tasks will be centered around simple gameplay mechanics. For example, at the start, you will be asked to cut down trees and blocks. The farming mechanic is similar to Minecraft.
Here are some core gameplay elements that you have to keep in mind:
Farming:
- Plant crops like wheat, carrots, or fruits (e.g., berries, apples) in tilled soil.
- Water crops to grow them faster, then harvest for resources or coins.
Building:
- Use blocks to design farms, factories, or decorative structures.
- Automate tasks with tools like totems or industrial machines.
Crafting:
- Craft tools, weapons (e.g., swords, spellbooks), and advanced items (e.g., Red Bronze gear, potions) using workbenches or forges.
- Mine ores (e.g., iron, copper) on mining islands to gather materials.
Economy:
- Sell crops, animal products, or crafted items to NPC merchants in the hub for coins.
- Use coins to buy seeds, tools, or upgrades from merchants.
Tips for Playing
- Prioritize Automations: Use various machines and items (such as Industrial Lumbermills) to save time.
- Level Up Skills: Focus on skills like Farming, Combat, or Forging to unlock better tools, animals, and weapons.
- Manage Resources: Resource management is essential. Try to store items in chests and sell off surplus items.
- Visit the Hub: Regularly check NPC merchants for new items or quests, and explore mob islands for rare drops.
- Backup Your Island: Remember, the game hasn’t been updated since 2023. So save your progress promptly to avoid any data loss.
