** Update 01-18-12 ** I am no longer updating Survival Island. There are however, a bunch of good mapmakers who are continuing the Survival Island Genre on their own so give them a try!

Thanks and Happy Mining!!

Ok, Is there anything worthwhile here? Like a secret cave or something? otherwise this seems preety stupid and you can just use the sand as a shelter

Give it a try, you might be surprised. = )

I hope there's a secret monster spawner somewhere, this island barely looks big enough to spawn mobs.

Starting, I had just downloaded the original island when I noticed the lack of reeds. Since you have reeds, you, sir, have officially got your first participant. I will post tomorrow of my adventures of tonight.

[Anisthesia]

Btw, there's more than one "treasure" under the X. Wink, wink.

[RaineyOfTri]

as you can see i replanted some trees, (which haven't grown and is been three days already >.<)
and i pulled all the lights out from the small mine i made to get to the coal and put cacti there for good measure

[Mythdragon33]

I like the look of this. Downloading it now. Hope to have some pics up in a few hours... =D

[Mythdragon33]

Yeah... Don't attempt this on Hard, with the full pack for Mo' Creatures installed. Ogres suck.

[Terrifico]

Looks fun! I'll enjoy this

2nd day completed, brick, glass and dirt house 2 block high cobblestone wall up to prevent angry beasts from blowing a hole in my creation. Main base has been setup underground. I just need those saplings to grow... I have 4 sticks and one block of wood. :|

Also, never have I been so glad to see dirt pockets underground.

my house so far

[austin320]

First day completed...replanted trees cacti and reeds. very good game.

[KruSuPhy]

So... collecting resources from the ocean doesn't count as cheating, right?

EDIT: [img]http://i55.tinypic.com/2ryhfgj.png[/img]

Toughed it out on the outside... unfortunately, had to run from a couple skeletons for a while until the morning came... they got me once or twice. Got a couple saplings to grow, also found some coal.

Lucky you, you just got Spider Jockey, never seen that before myself ingame! D:

Someone could "extend" the island to land, maybe from wood since it replenishes. Would that be cheating? It would still be an island. Take this challenge. Escape without swimming/without a boat, build your way to the land!
