Desert Island

Desert is an island in Survival 303.

Overview
Desert is the largest island in the game. There are many Prickly Pears scattered around, this is also the only island where they are naturally found. The sandstone mountain on the northwest side is one of the highest points on the map, and can be fairly difficult to climb. On the east side of the island is a maze, with ores and many other secrets inside. There is two different chromium and mithril spawns on the island. There is a total of five water sources scattered about the island.

Survival Tips
Desert is one of the most difficult islands to survive on, with exception of Spire. Bring lots of wood and stone, as they are scarce resources here. You should make as many composts as possible, and sandstone wells will be fairly easy to craft, as the entire island is sand-based. For food, maybe consider fishing, due to the massive coastline and the various bodies of water found on the island. This island can be very hard or very easy to defend, depending on where you are planning to settle. You can either settle on the mountain or the cliffs, or build a settlement on the dunes, where there is almost unlimited building space, or possibly, inside of the maze, where multiple water sources can be found.
