11 Devil's Basin is one of the three starting islands in Corsair Cove and the one the game warns about directly: the island invites a player not to let their eyes deceive them, because there is danger aplenty here. It pairs the most attractive terrain of the three with the clearest hint that the haven will not have the place to itself. See Islands for the comparison.

33 The Island
44  
55 The landscape is built around a cascading waterfall and an Ancient Tree, with fertile land spread widely enough that a haven can be settled almost anywhere on the island. A shipwrecked treasure fleet lies here to be plundered, which front-loads the kind of salvage that on other islands has to be earned out at sea.

77 The warning is structural rather than atmospheric. Structures are scattered across the island, and the game frames them as a sign that the player may not be the only one laying claim to this exotic place. That reads directly onto the defensive layer covered in City Building: a haven raised here is contesting ground rather than occupying empty land.

9-The island is distinctive enough visually that its waterfalls and shipwrecks have been the subject of their own rendering fixes in the post-launch patches, which are tracked on Update History.
9+The island is distinctive enough visually that its waterfalls and shipwrecks have been the subject of their own rendering fixes in the post-launch patches, which are tracked on Update History. It also offers more than one place to found the haven: the Patch 6 notes of September 17, 2026 refer to a Guano Deposit at the island's third starting location, which they fixed so it connects correctly, and the same patch removed a water texture fault on Devil's Basin that could drop performance. Patch 5 earlier adjusted several of the island's uncharted events.

1212 Choosing a Starting Island
1313  
1414 All three islands are complete, finishable maps rather than difficulty presets. Each has its own achievement for finishing a game on it, so a haven raised on one is a separate run from a haven raised on another. The campaign runs on a fixed island, while the second mode randomises the layout around whichever starting island is picked. See Islands for the comparison and Getting Started for the opening moves that apply everywhere.
