Stormwolf2018 Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 What is your favourite island type? Mine is Archipelago, because I love the way you can create different cultures on different islands, and have different types of nichelings. I have an island for winged nichelings, one for Derp snouted creatures, one for bearyena hybrids, etc. I love how you can essentially have multiple games in one huge island type, and how there is so much space for underwater creatures. What do you think? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lilytuft Posted July 17, 2018 Share Posted July 17, 2018 I had an all yellow island, an all female island, cookie/banana yoghurt island and the decedants of Cremesi island. Archipelago, whale island and snow mountain islands are my favourite 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seahorsepie Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 My all time favourite has to be the Deep Jungle, since my favourite tribe originally kept travelling from jungle island to jungle island. The Deep Jungle is just so big and so full of life, and it is easy enough to survive in if you came prepared. So jungle islands are definitely my favourite, but some others that I like are Whale Island, Deadly Hills, Grass Mingle and Home Island. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jojo Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 I think the mountains or something like Grass Adventure, Grass Mingle oh and the Oasis. I just love the way you can specialze on fishing and cracking nuts in the Oasis and especially in the first few days/ generations it is really exiting to try to survive. The mountains are just cool in general. I love snow and the walrus deer are cool and just the mountains are awesome And Grass Mingle/ Adventure that have very good role playing potential 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordOfCider Posted July 18, 2018 Share Posted July 18, 2018 Peaceful Meadow and Oasis. Both are really conducive to telling stories with the way I play. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangesunrise Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 The mountain islands, especially Frost Lands. Each time I bring a tribe there, I experience a new adventure. It's quite fun! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PopsicleNinja Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 I really like being in the savanna, because it provides a challenge that is difficult without becoming tedious. I also love Whale Island because I can go anywhere I want, though I think it's a little OP because I encountered it in Story Mode once and went straight to Crossing. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spacestar TheThundersuncat Posted August 4, 2018 Share Posted August 4, 2018 I really love the Summer Mountains to start on. They provide the selective pressure for a headstart and allow one to directly go to the killer cold biome to unlock the mega. horns, digging truck or armored body. Not to mention the abundance of food. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whale island gives me a bug every time in story mode -- without fail -- that results in ports to harder islands being unable to spawn. I can't travel to harder islands, either, via Whale island. I'd have to test if this is still the case and report the bug sometime, so your input would be really helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're not supposed to get to harder islands from whale island in story mode No, I meant that after I left whale island in story mode, no ports of higher difficulty showed up in the game. There was no northern port from there on, nowhere. Nowhere, as in, I traveled to all of the limited available islands nowhere. I'd have to check if this bug is still in the game, though. The difficulty of whale island was moved, so it shouldn't be a problem? Still confuses me how they got to crossing, that can usually only be done in Sandbox mode or after being on crossing once, but why mention it then? See, it's clear contradiction. Anyway, this wouldn't have gotten me riled up, but the same thing happened with my first tribe. Hope I won't see it again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That much is obvious, but it locked me from discovering new islands after leaving the island. That's the issue. What happened after leaving Whale island, not the port choice on Whale island. Assuming that this isn't too common (I have found others with the same issue) and the island was moved in tier, it might just be fixed. Or some games are cursed. I remember downloading the add- ons for dragon age and item names and voices were missing. At least I could fix that by myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do you mean you only found whale island ports? From your first post it 'just' sounded like you were stuck in an island loop (which was previously 'cured' by going left and then up at the next opportunity (might not work anymore) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No northern ports after leaving whale island. I am not sure how to describe it otherwise. The loop could be broken by one, but not by others. In either case, it wasted a lot of time. Traveling 18 - 27 times from island to island is... well. The one line that did break it, I don't know. There was no difference in strategy I could observe. Just suddendly, a northern port appeared. I haven't played story mode for some time now. When I have the time and energy, I'll see if it is still there and document it more closely, island for island. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It might indeed be tied to Whale Island but it is hard to say without being sure if the same issue persists in your game without going to whale island. I (luckily) never had the loop issue but I never pursued Story Mode enough to go that far more than once. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowy Owl Posted August 6, 2018 Share Posted August 6, 2018 mine is the swamps, the one called Sleepy Reeds because if your equipped for it, it is a pretty easy and quiet place. aside from the occasional starving bearyena. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Condorflight Posted January 13, 2019 Share Posted January 13, 2019 (edited) My favorite islands types would be the swamps.But favorite islands in general are whale island and Home island,specially Home Island because of the rival tribe/Adams family,feels more natural and realistic with competition of your same species Edited January 14, 2019 by Condorflight 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Basil Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 Honestly love the whale island-- it allows for experimentation with genes due to the endless food it provides (if you don't want to use console) and you can have so many creatures! Plus I just love the layout of the island. It's also very pretty! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other times I went, I have been very lucky and successful. I love the abundance of bearyenas that provide some challenge. Not so much the rogues... my favorite islands are Grass Mingle and grass adventure, oasis, and whale island. I probably would like the snow islands too (I’m about to go there prepared for the first time!) I like archipelago as well, I just wish the islands were more varied each time instead of the exact same shape. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
