So how bad could it be...

[Boogieman14]

I started a new game today. After a short bit, it kinda looked like an island, but there was some land on the side so I figured I'd soldier on...

Starter area

It has all the goodies I'll need for a while...

After clearing out a few biter bases on the next island

Things started to look a tad grim

I finally broke down and revealed a 4x4k map area

This is at one zoom below max

Thank god for landfill, at least I can get to the next island over. There's a juicy stone deposit there and some nice iron and copper. Oil and coal may be a bit tight, but possibly managable (I might just have to resort to solar power for at least part of the playthrough, something I tend not to do). I do wonder what's to the north and east of here, surely the water must stop somewhere

I think the biters need a navy.

I think the biters need a navy.

Seems like some biters are trying top left of his base. I see one red dot in the sea, 3rd picture

Nice challenge map. Could you share the seed?

Not sure to what extent this is relevant, but I'm using a few mods that at least influence resources: RSO, bobores and UraniumPower.


I must say, this map is remarkably peaceful so far Other than me chasing a few biters off "my" islands, I haven't seen any combat in these 8 hours...

[Xterminator]

Haha yes thank god for landfill. I agree, this is a very interesting map, thanks for sharing the seed!
I think some pretty cool stuff can be built across all those islands on to the main land, lots of fun for sure.

[Boogieman14]

Right. To answer my original question: pretty bad

real potential spoiler for a change

This is at maximum zoom. In the end I broke down and cheated myself a peaceful world (way too high a biter density, especially with bobenemies mod) and a stack of exoskeletons and just started running. Looks like the water will still continue on for quite a bit, so I'll probably give up and start a more reasonable game - something like Marathon+RSO perhaps
