Stuck on an island

Went on an epic journey to some swamps.. troll halfway in the water started attacking my longboat as it got stuck with wind blowing against me. needless to say I died because my health was low. managed to retrieve only the ancient wood for some reason, the iron nails and leather scraps sunk (I died 2 more times trying to swim naked to my items). I'm basically relying on what I brought to make a raft to make it back to my base. I'm actually having fun trying to figure out how to get back to base. There are no boars in sight so I have to rely on my pick axe durability to find enough leather scrap in the swamps. I'm either going to return a hero or give up and make a new character :steamsad:

That doesn't work if you set your spawn point on the island you're trying to leave. I assume destroying the bed will respawn you back to the original spawn?

Wow. "Forced" to the -console over a few boar skins..,,

I never travel without the ingredients to build a portal.

I never travel without portal nearby. If you die with mats in your backpack, it wont help you much...

Now I'm trying to build a new boat but I need 6 boars to build it and it's pretty rare to find a boar in Black Forest, I have checked all way round the island and it's only Black Forrest and Swamps. Rip me I guess, but I wish there was easier way to get from one island to another (like building a boat from deer hide).
You could kill your bed and die, and respawn at spawn and build there.

If there's a swamp nearby and you can get there and there's crypts you didnt mine yet... if so, you can mine boars hides from piles. When you destroy piles, it drops nothing, or big bone, or iron scrap or... leather.

Logging out while swimming apparently restores your stamina, so it should be possible to swim off the island using that exploit.

Log out, make a new world, join with your character to the new world.
Kill 6 boars, log out and go back to your main world.

Also, connect your island with portals to different biome areas, so you can easily jump around your world and farm the neccesary ressources you need

I felt like getting back to my base was achievable and I liked the challenge. I messed up a few hours later and basically ended in a situation where my stuff was unrecoverable by myself so I decided to cheese it then, only after making three separate attempts to recover my stuff. At some point you just have to admit you screwed up and bite the cheese

I think it's a fine line, cheese/cheating are viewed by many as the same thing. But I won't get too hung up on semantics, because you're right that it's using a mechanic in a way that's not intended to bypass another mechanic.

next time just log into your friends server ,borrow his boat by breaking it down, put the mats in your inventory, then log back into your server.
its not cheating, its playing the game as it was designed. its also a great way to transport ore back to your base when youre overburdened

if you jump from someplace high you go deeper into the water. if you're not to far from shore you can build a platform to dive off and collect your things.

Mark the location on the map. If you die again take all the time you need to make a new set of gear and weapons. Make a new boat, and make sure you arrive in the morning. Wait off shore if you have to.

make bed closer and closer to your body, and ya Food is a big deal, good luck I have done that before.

If you want to just start over back at the God stones, just break your bed.

Epic Journey
-Shack with Bed along the way
-Back up Food
-Back up Boat at main base
-Portals

580 hours in and i still learn new things along the way.

I made it out! thankfully i brought two pickaxes and was able to mine leather scraps from the muddy piles. had to make a raft and sail all the way to one of my bases. basically took an entire in-game day just to sail across in the raft. Now I'm back with a new longship and a new portal connected, just in case.
