Island
Islands on Castaways are a more activity filled aspect to the castaways world, unlike the hub users with permissions have the ability to break and place blocks, and make creations that come to mind to make the Castaways experience unique to users. There are currently 500 islands in the castaways world, users were able to previously obtain them by owning a raft or getting them from a free mint, now users can obtain them through Opensea as an NFT or by winning them in events. Each island is owned by a player but some users choose to own multiple.
Island Generations
There will be multiple generations of islands, at this moment only Generation 1 is available.
Generation 1
Supply
Total Amount: 500
Resource Generators
The exclusive resources of Generation 1 are Coal Mine and Volcano.
Each island is limited to up to 2 Resource Generators, the up limit for volcanoes and Coal Mine are 2 and 1 respectively. However, some islands might only have 1 resource generator.
Port
Only 100 Generation 1 islands have Ports, all of which are airdropped to RAFT holders.
Ports are closely connected to the in-game trading system, aka Grand Exchange. Island that has a port will benefit more from trading activity.
Rumor has it that this feature will be online in January 2023.
Buried Treasure
Only 25 Generation 1 islands have Buried Treasure.
Right now there isn't much information about the utility of Buried Treasure, But it allegedly has something to do with Genesis Characters' Luggage.
Base Island
Every Island starts with 1 fully grown Palm Tree, a Wood Axe, and the basic terraformed island featuring 12 blocks of grass, 12 of stone, and 20 blocks of sand.
Island Permissions
Islands permissions are automatically set to owners only, but island owners can use a variety of commands to set permissions for other users. All permissions are set in-game, by typing commands into the chat bar.
Basic Island Commands
Command | Description |
---|---|
/island add [user] | This makes the user an admin of the island. They can do anything but add/remove players and set region permissions. |
/island op add [user] | This makes the user an operator of the island. They can do almost everything, including add/removing players and setting region permissions. The only thing that is forbidden is to change/remove permissions for the island's owner. |
/island [id] | Transport to a certain island. |
Region Permissions Commands
Region Permissions Commands are introduced in the Homestead update. Island Operators can now define regions with specific permissions in the game.
Step 1- Define a Region
To define a region, select the Laser Pointer in your toolbar, and then select a 3-dimensional box, by right-clicking the two opposite corners, as shown in the picture below. After setting the second point, a box will appear where you type in the desired name of the region. Hit enter to confirm your region.
If you want to redefine a region, use: /region redefine
If you want to remove a region, use: /region remove [Region Name]
Regions can be seen as red outlines on the island while holding a laser pointer, and by pointing at a box, the region's name will be displayed.
Step 2- Set Region Permission
Once a region is defined, Operators can set flags to their region to specify what permissions region members should inherit.
The command code you need here is: /region flag [name] [flag] [state].
Let's say there is a region called Farmland, but you don't want people to break blocks in it. To achieve this purpose, you need to use this command: /region flag Farmland block-break false.
In this command, [name] is Farmland, [flag] is block-break, and [state] is false.
The table below shows all the available flags right now. You can check flag list in the game with this command: /region help flag
Flag | Description |
---|---|
build | Everything: Whether blocks can be mined or placed |
interact | Everything that involves 'using' a block or entity: Whether doors can be used |
block-break | Whether blocks can be mined (including volcano, coal mine) |
block-place | Whether blocks can be placed |
use | Whether doors,levers, etc. can be used |
chest-access | Whether chests can be accessed |
ride | Whether vehicles (rafts) can be mounted |
vehicle-place | Whether vehicles (rafts) can be placed |
vehicle-destroy | Whether vehicles can be destroyed |
item-pickup | Whether items can be picked up |
item-drop | Whether items can be dropped |
Step 3- Grant Permission
Now you can permit people to access certain regions on your island.
Use the command: /region add [Region Name] [Player Username]
Region Command Table
The table below contains all the Region Command.
Command | Description |
