I always have multiple boats. I never go on a voyage without having extra armour and tools back at base just in case i die or get stranded and need to do a dash back to my body. Build a portal and name it in your base before you leave too.

Then when you get to the new island, never sleep on the new island until you have a portal down. That way you can spawn back at home with the spare supplies.

These simple things are how one avoids "needing" to cheat.

Unfortunately i have to wholeheartedly and completely disagree with your take

You my friend were just woefully unprepared for your voyage and now you've copped it on the chin and hopefully learned your lesson

Safe future travels friend.

and remember that Odin is always watching.
