But this is not enjoyable in the LEAST to explore. It's just a bunch of 2 by 2 steep islands with mobs that will swarm you even in spite of having the best gear, potions AND food + buffs... like, stamina is already a pain but then you add steep islands with NO room to fight on and are constantly falling into the water, unequipping your weapons, it's just...

Wtf.

If this is staying true to previous progression, the difficulty should ramp up quite a LOT and Plains gear only JUST being able to protect a small bit until new resources / recipes / crafted items get unlocked and upgraded.

The gear simply doesnt matter. No gear in the world will help you in waterworld.
