Major changes to the gameplay need to be made before I can recommend it, but I intend to try it again later too.

Fiberous materials are a little rare, and could/should be craftable from palm frons. The fire torch is right-handed and means NO tools can be used at night and still keep the torch held -- I guess you can drop it lit, but I never tried. Inventory system is a little burden some but workable. Sharks are not very aggressive and do not present a real threat to the player. Cannot use Loading certain small objects onto the raft prevents it from moving, while other large objects seem to do just fine. Character holds his breath like a baby with emphysema.

I never died, but I litterally was rafting from island to island just to make lashings from fiberous materials. In my game there was never an island with more than 16 fiberous material = 4 lashings. I found a sunken boat with a box containing useless junk mostly -- the box itself was the most useful thing. I crafted a metal barel raft which was not very impressive, and then realized floating from island to island gathering lashings was boring. It will take your character 3 in-game-days just to gather the lashings needed to make proper tools, another few in-game-days of island hopping to make crafting stations, and then FINALLY you can make a steady water supply and start building a base. Hope you like drinking coconuts.
