Ahoy one and all!

After almost 2 years of hard work building this mod from the ground up, started off by the very talented @Kzisor, we would like to present to you lovely lot our Shipwrecked port mod for Don't Starve Together: Island Adventures!

1419009280_AnimatedLogoFull.gif.d69e766cbdd9d133c6aaa95c736ba95e.gif

Embark on a tropical journey across the seas, Together! Explore a vast new world with new biomes, seasons, and creatures.
Island Adventures brings the seas of Don't Starve: Shipwrecked to Don't Starve Together. 

This mod is currently in a near complete state, with tons of bug fixes and content updates rolling out as they get completed. During development, we strive to have a faithful port of Shipwrecked, with the exception of some rebalances and content additions to integrate some of Together's new features in a nonintrusive way.

So what does this mod include? Everything. Literally the entirety of the Shipwrecked DLC has been ported in this mod, with a few tweaks to accommodate a Together environment. Isn't that crazy?

Attention to detail is important to us, so we like to see the smaller features sparkle and shine before moving on to new additions. :)

We also have a GitLab for those who would like to test out our WIP features before they get pushed to the workshop! Check it out here: https://gitlab.com/IslandAdventures/IslandAdventures

So what are all the additions and changes that we've made from the original? Here's a list taken from our Discord:

V0.1.0 "Rawling Pack To You~ (Open Pre-Beta)"
Is now on the workshop!
Here is the change log:

-Packim Baggims
-Rawling
-Crockpot foods
-New shore collision system

 --This lets you "run against" the shore forever and makes pathfinding much better
 --Can be toggled via modconfig
 --It might slow your computer down (especially on large worlds)
 --The performance hit only applies to the HOST PC, so if your hosting and your pc can take it then use the new collisions
-Lavae, shadow puppets and most mod pets properly "vanish" while sailing
-Improved creature behaviour (water beefalo, merm fisher, primeapes, wildbore)
-Tweaked monster health
-Tweaked sounds (see IA - Sounds mod for details)

-water birds can now properly switch to land
-fix birds not showing in birdcage on load
-fix sails not showing on boat on load
-fix two people embarking on same boat
-fix planted tree seeds not being diggable
-fix spoiled food sinking from inventory (removed old code from ZupaleX)
-fix some animations cutting early
-fix several cases of boat durability not starting or stopping to drain
-fix crash when haunt-launching items
-fix crash caused by assuming the player can sail (mod compatibility)
-fix sandstorms never stopping after embarking
-jelly jerky floats
-fix ballphin loot drops

Hello all!

When Island Adventures started four years ago, we couldn't imagine it becoming such a big and long-lasting project. Many people have come and/or left the crew and many breakthroughs and miracles have been performed. The mod has come a long way.

However, in recent times, there have been mounting problems we are not equipped to deal with. Most notably, Don't Starve Together itself has grown and changed much. The overlap of DST and SW content comes not only with technicalities, but also increasingly complicated bugs, and big gameplay issues.

Therefore, we have decided to forfeit Maxwell's tropical paradise to Queen Charlie, and let her form a different kind of island adventure.

More specifically, we will not finish missing or incomplete content (such as treasure hunt, volcano, quacken, &c.) nor patch bugs that occur with new game updates. However, the Steam Workshop page and the GitLab repository (including the entire development history), will remain online and public, for posterity. Heroic strangers may use this to continue developing and send a "Pull Request" to get their solutions applied to Steam Workshop.

If a part of Island Adventures seems useful for a different mod (e.g. the climate transition code), we'd gladly let the other mod take it. However, we insist the mod's Steam Workshop page mentions this, for the purpose of avoiding misunderstandings. Also, feel free to consult us about that. We may be able to provide context and code explanations to help incorporate it.

Thank you for the fun years!
-the Island Adventures devs

  • Big Ups 4
  • Sad Dupe 2

I'm gonna try and use this thread more! Hopefully keeping it open as another avenue of communication for you beautiful lot on the forums. We're always receptive to feedback on features and what we can do to improve the experience. :wilson_love: I also went ahead and added a new list to the original post of all the changes we've made from SW.

With that said, we just released a massive update with 0.12.0, Uncharted Waters!
Some highlights include:

  • The 10th Anniversary Update from Singleplayer SW
  • SW Water now acts like DST Water mechanically (It's more of a backend change, but it now allows us to add features such as...)
  • DST Boats and Dock Kits can now be placed on SW Water
  • The Coral Den has been added, allowing players to adopt critters in SW Worlds
  • Wilson has new SW-focused Transmutation options
  • All SW Bosses now drop unique Figure Sketches (Thanks for the art, Tin Can)
  • Skins have been added through the use of the Modded Skins API (The first batch includes beta versions of the Dumbrella and Particulate Purifier, and a Cawnival Palm Hut courtesy of Tin Can)

This is nowhere close to the full changelog, for that please check it out on the workshop or our Discord.

Ahoy y'all!

I have updated the additions + changes spoiler in the main post.
On top of that, we have some pretty big stuff planned soon that I'd love to share with you all! Here's a quick changelog of what to look forward to:

  • GemCore has been dropped as a dependency
    (All features that IA has previously depended on have since been added to DST. The only thing we still used were multiple recipes. Recipe changes will now be decided by world)
  • Island Adventures - Shipwrecked will have a new dependency in the form of "IA-Core"
    (To house all the shared resources and code between Shipwrecked and Hamlet)
  • Shipwrecked and Volcano will now finally be counted as their own separate world 
    (Previously, both were frankensteined versions of the Forest)
  • SW Seasons will now also be counted as their own thing
    (As with world, they were heavily jury-rigged versions of the RoG seasons)
  • A new World Select button will be available in the world creation screen for you to choose what world you want on each shard
    (This will allow much more official world customization outside of being stuck to Forest/Caves or Islands/Volcano. Now you can have Forest/Islands worlds connected via Seaworthy if you want! Or get chaotic and have a Caves/Volcano world)

If you didn't gleam from the changelog, this does also mean that we're gearing up to tackle a proper Hamlet port in the future. Hopefully within the next few months! :)
We already have a good framework with functional worldgen, mobs, and items. (Huge props to Hornet) 

That's about it for now, hope to keep y'all updated soon!

Work on the Rewrite is still ongoing! The overhaul for the world generation settings is pretty much complete, we only have a few more things on our checklist before it's ready for the workshop. 

In the meantime though, let me showcase two new dishes coming for Warly; Rainbow Mousse and Jellyfish Jelly!
image.png.723e9f6101e17b5325ec06d03ff78faa.png

Rainbow Mousse
Recipe: x1 Rainbow Jellyfish or x2 Dead Rainbow Jellyfish, x1 Fruit Value
Effect: Glowberry Mousse
Type: Meat

Jellyfish Jelly
Recipe: x1 Jellyfish, x1 Bone Shards, x2 Sweetener
Effect: Volt Goat Chaud Froid
Type: Meat

Given how Warly can't properly make the original two dishes in SW, we figured these Jellyfish variants will help out a bit! We hope to have this out to y'all soon!

New RWYS Sweet Potato, Aloe, and Radish (Plus New SW Seasonal Icons)

Spoiler

All DLC crops will be packaged in our new Core mod and will be available regardless of which DLC you're playing.
Enjoy the Hamlet crops early while we toil away at that mod!

Bamboo Oar, Limestone Bumpers, and (WIP) Swordfish's New Attack

Spoiler


 image.png.ef302467da1aa5bba1511e5ec20b1241.png

Bamboo Oar: SW variant of the Driftwood Oar
Limestone Bumper: Unique Bumper with 100hp, better than Shell Bumpers (40hp), not as good as Crab King Bumpers (150hp)
(Note: All Bumpers will now lessen the push force from SW Waves)
Swordfish Attack: Will not be in the initial release but we hope to have it out soon!

King of the Fishermerms + New Trident & Pauldrons

Spoiler

image.png.7743dbba2435780a324cc0d5a196a272.png

The Fishermerm King will provide a few different items to trade than traditional Merm King, and both can now be upgraded with SW's Trident and Limestone armor! We did not add a Thulecite Crown alternative as this is obtainable in SW.

Living Jungle Tree Saplings

Spoiler

image.png.6e452cd0fde8cc304cd8ca0e78db25d5.png

Available during Hallowed Nights!

Wendy's Shipspooks

Spoiler

image.png.a8416f9c3306169397d76edde4b4ec6a.png

Wendy's Pipspooks will have unique looks based on world! SW will feature Shipspooks, and the future Hamlet mod will feature Pigspooks.

Tall Sea Chests

Spoiler

Note: The Elastispacer is unavailable in SW worlds. You'll still need a Forest with Lunar Rifts active.

Seaworthy & Skyworthy Kits

Spoiler

image.png.fbe9988c7d8406aabea6bfff3dac6407.png

Why? It's grief protection to keep players from prototyping either structure and leaving the game. These kits are 100% irreplaceable!

And yes, the Skyworthy will be available in Island Adventures next update! :) The Deflated Balloon setpiece will spawn in all SW and Forest worlds.

Wurt's New Fishermerm Huts

Spoiler

image.png.69fec2cb050a2d3d64cd30973609441a.png

Wurt's previous craftable Fishermerm Huts were mere recolors, now we have custom art for them!

Obsidian Sawblade

Spoiler

image.png.4a9c8ce0651d1fe60568bc2920189771.png

The Sawhorse is obtainable in SW (via trading a Banana Shake with Yaarctopus) but not the Tier 2 Celestial Tab needed to craft the upgrade, so we made this Obsidian variant craftable in the Volcano!
It doesn't have any custom furniture crafts... yet. :)

Quackering Can

Spoiler

SW variant of the Waterfowl Can.

Limestone Rounds: SW variant of Marble Rounds
Tar Rounds: Unique SW ammo (Targets are slowed & take increased fire damage)
Poison Rounds: Unique SW ammo (Targets are poisoned)
Obsidian Rounds: Unique SW ammo in place of Cursed Rounds (AoE ignites targets and leaves a pool of Dragoon Spit, works well with Tar Rounds)

Tar Grip: SW variant of the Sticky Handle
Slithering Slingshot Band: SW variant of the Flailing Slingshot Band
Obsidian Frame: Charges with continuous attacks. Fully charged, all shots deal 1.25x damage. Charge can be spent via alt click for Thul Frame's effects.

Wolfgang's New Dumbbells (Obsidian + Limestone)

Spoiler

WX's New Circuits (Poison + Waterproofing)

Spoiler

image.png.dd6fe984ddbfb05ef936369befec1932.png
Poison Circuit: Makes all attacks inflict Poison (Scannable via all Poisonous mobs)
Waterproof Circuit: Grants slight wetness protection and increases the level at which WX starts losing charge (Scannable via Boaty Knights & Ballphins)
(We are aware of the controversial nature of this one and will be working to balance accordingly based on community feedback, its existence is due to the fact that hitting one wave in SW will begin killing and draining charge from the novice WX player.)

Allow me to make another showcase post in the time leading up to our release!
Behold the Ingenious Gardeneer HatIgneous? ingenious...?

This is a simple SW variant of the Premier Hat, seeing as its materials are not accessible in SW. It provides 60 insulation in comparison to the original's 60 coolness.
This new variant uses Obsidian and can be made at the Obsidian Workbench!

As some of you know, we'll no longer be using GemCore API going forward. We'll be replacing it with a new Core mod that will house all shared features between Shipwrecked and Hamlet. What you may not know however is that Island Adventures - Core will be usable as a standalone mod! That's right, think of it as a Lite version of IA.
While you'll still need the corresponding SW and (eventual) Hamlet mods to play in those worlds and get the full experience, you can play in the standard DST Forest with IA-Core and gain access to a handful of IA features, including but not limited to:

  • SW Boat Mechanics: The SW Boats can be enabled in DST worlds! Enabling this world setting will allow crafting of most SW Boats and their attachments for use on DST's waters. Most Boats made with SW materials are swapped with DS/T materials when this world setting is active. Happy sailing!
  • Characters: The SW Crew (and eventually Hamlet) will be packaged in with Core, allowing their use anywhere across any DLC (or lack thereof)! As with Boats, the recipes for IA Characters in DST worlds will be altered to allow crafting.
  • Crops & Food: All of our RWYS Crops will be found in Core, enjoy Sweet Potatoes, Aloe, and Radishes! :) We've also included some crock pot dishes that could be made in DST worlds (i.e. a certain mouthwatering hamburger).
  • And more! Gain access to an assortment of fun and useful IA crafts, find Palm Trees in the Desert Oasis, and more!

We hope y'all enjoy Island Adventures in many different ways that most suit your preferred playstyle!

Obsidian Net

Spoiler

Seeing as there's a new Thulecite Bug Net, we went and added an Obsidian variant to the Volcano!

And we have moved Walter's new Poison Rounds and Tar Rounds to be unlockable via the Shattering Rounds and Utility Rounds skills respectively.

Hope to see y'all soon when the beta releases! (If you'd like to test this version of IA right now, public playtesting is open on our Discord!)

What does a lunar portal look like?

Largely unchanged! The only difference is that the petrified roses and vines are replaced with rope from the Wrecked Postern.

So cool!! Thank you so much for the amazing update.

BTW, any updates about the lag compensation ON issue? T_T (it causes lag when you are on boat while changing head gears)
