11 Overview

33 The Deserted Island is the third and smallest of Cahaya's three islands, introduced as part of the free Island Getaway DLC (v0.3.0, August 2025). It sits between the Cahaya Main Island and the Sri Lestari Resort. Unlike the other two developed islands, the Deserted Island is wild and uninhabited, with no permanent structures beyond basic survival amenities. It is the primary destination for high-quality mining, resource gathering, and off-the-grid exploration.
