About Loneshoal - Brutal island survival
Read more about Loneshoal - Brutal island survival and what it has to offer.
Loneshoal is a Rust-style survival server on a generated archipelago. You spawn on a coastline with empty hands. There is no starter kit and no tutorial, and the only thing standing between you and the next player is whatever you have managed to build since the last wipe.
Land is claimed with a tool cupboard. Place one, and you own the 48 blocks around it and 64 blocks up -- but only while you keep it stocked. Let the upkeep lapse and the protection drops, and whoever has been watching your base gets to walk in.
Walls are not decoration either: every building material sits on a durability ladder, from bare wood up to iron, and each rung costs a raider more of both. You can grind through with a tool if you have the patience, or you can spend raid charges and be quicker about it. Both paths are real, and the better your walls, the more the charges are worth.
Scattered across the islands are the radtowns -- abandoned compounds, watchposts and a skeleton-haunted necropolis, each held by a hostile garrison that will not let you loot it for free.
Copper and stone regrow slowly and deliberately, so a good node is worth defending. Each island's climate pays out differently, and the cold ones do not simply give you more of what the temperate ones give you -- they give you other things entirely.
Loneshoal is in early playtest. Wipes are frequent, the population is small, and things break in public. If that sounds like a problem, this is not the server for you. If it sounds like the good part, come take something off someone.
