I’m kind of thinking about doing a full island design without using terraforming. Has anyone ever tried it? How long did you last before caving?

    I attempted it and lasted quite a while (don’t remember how long exactly), until I made my rivers quite a bit slimmer - they take up so much space! Overall, I think I’ve preserved most of the original shape of things on my island, just a few minor adaptations here and there :)

      The river situation can be difficult. They do take up a lot of space, and I don’t have great bridge placement options right now. The cliffs will be challenging because I don’t have much room, and I don’t know if they’ll let me place bridges in the tiny workable space I have.

        I just looked at your map again and wow, your cliffs are tiny! Also getting to Redd’s ship might turn out to be pretty inconvenient, lots of climbing up and down ladders

          Right! I’m literally reconsidering this specifically because of the cliff situation. It’s going to be so difficult to build anything up there! I’m going to give it a try when I unlock paths, but I reaaaaally can’t see this working out.

            Maybe you can “cheat” a tiny bit and make a fake bridge? So terraform across a river and put some custom designs on it to make it look like a bridge…idk how much that would help with the overall situation though, seems to be a very difficult island to do this challenge on!
