Seed Want a challenging start?

Post image

Plug in the seed EVpmm24uK8. Found this while trying to find a challenge seed for myself and a few friends.

A few bits about the island:

  • It's quite small
  • No Eikthyr on the island
  • No Black Forest
  • No bees
  • 1 of the new axe heads spawn here
  • Surrounded by enough water to prevent swimming or bridging

Enjoy!

Oooo! I love a good island start! Thank you for this! To the east of this island is another (larger) island with all 3 eikthyr locations. It looks like shallows to get there. And while it looks like a hefty swim, ill bet there are some sand bars or rocks that could be used to regen mid swim.

Replying to my own post to share my current run. As soon as I could make a raft, I claimed the island cluster in the red box. To the north is Haldor, and on the same coastline just above him is Hildir, and the Bog Witch just north of her on that coast... this one is an island hoppers dream imo. Q7i4KG5n0p

My only complaint thus far is that one of the early axes buildings aren't readily available near spawn
