First voyage
Start like a crew, not like solo speedrunners. Load food and wood, assign simple roles, then cross the sea only when someone is watching for storms and whirlpools.
The official loop points to food, wood, and lost crew. That means the first useful plan is role clarity: one player gathers food, one watches wood or boat needs, and one keeps the route moving.
A long crossing is only good if the boat can handle a hazard. Before leaving an island, decide who calls storms, who watches supplies, and who stops extra island detours.
Mythic islands are puzzle stops, not loot buttons. Slow down, read visible prompts, and leave with enough supply margin if the solution is not clear.

FAQ
Scavenge food and wood, then make sure the crew has simple roles before starting a long crossing.
The game supports group sailing, but the same route logic works solo: gather, ration, watch hazards, and avoid unnecessary detours.
Both matter. Food protects survival pressure while wood supports the sailing route, so do not leave shore with either ignored.
No. Try puzzle islands when the crew can afford the time and supplies.
The official description says there is a new sea every voyage, so route decisions should be based on the current run.
