Build a testable starting plan

The release announcement establishes that the overhaul materially changed the world; it does not provide a current optimal base blueprint or promise old coordinates remain useful. Use a small scouting loop and validate the features visible in your own build before investing a long-session plan.

  1. Record Main/test/olderversion branch and the version shown by Steam or the game's title screen.
  2. Start a separate test world if the purpose is to explore the overhaul; keep any old-world copy isolated.
  3. Use the current map and visible shoreline/landmark labels as your references, not coordinates from an older guide unless its version matches.
  4. Before placing a large base, check the building pieces and interaction rules in the current interface and test a small reversible segment.
  5. If AI or a raid behaves differently from older posts, record which world settings/mode and exact displayed version apply; the update note only supports that AI was revised, not a numeric difficulty prediction.
  6. When asking other players, attach the exact build and describe one reproducible mismatch rather than copying a full old base design.

Keep observations useful to other players

A report becomes easier to compare when it states which world and patch it came from. This page's form is only a note builder; it does not upload a map or benchmark the update.

  1. State whether this is a fresh or older world.
  2. Give the installed build and branch, plus the visible island/landmark name if relevant.
  3. Separate what changed on screen from what you think caused it.
  4. Link the official overhaul announcement alongside any user discussion.

Before you play

  • My build and branch are recorded.
  • I separated a fresh-world check from an older-world check.
  • I am not presenting an old map/layout as universally current.
  • I described AI changes without inventing a numeric raid schedule.

Frequently asked questions

Can I safely use an old base map?

Use it as a clue only. The developer says the overhaul redesigned islands; confirm landmarks and build rules in your installed version.

Does v0.8.02 mean I must restart?

The developer recommended a new game and warned of possible problems in older saves, but did not say every old save fails. Back up and test a copy.

Sources & revision notes

Editorial revision: November 7, 2026; not a gameplay test date. The reference notes identify source limits and version differences.

  1. Sunkenland developer: Main Branch Update v0.8.02 (Official)

    Developer update notes checked November 7, 2026. They recommend starting a new world to experience the overhaul as intended and warn that extensive changes may cause compatibility issues, missing content, or unexpected behavior in older saves. This is a version-specific warning, not a claim that every old save is broken today.

    Official product listing for platform and co-op scope. Store text is not a complete mechanics manual.
