About this mod
For Experimental Version 0.54.01 or current Stable build 60.
A medium-sized island with a few shelters, a plane crash, a ship, and lots of "friends" that are running, slithering, or swimming about.

The Backstory:
In the mid-1700's while in the midst of escaping people that she had angered in Haiti, the notorious pirate, Pialla, took herself and her crew deep into the Pacific in search of treasures and a good hiding spot.
They found a small island that she dubbed "Pialla's Rest" and admired it for the large and unusual weathered stone "ball" in the center of the diminutive landmass.
Her crew begrudgingly went to work on settling the island and trying to find a way to ascend to the top, since the Captain had spotted vegetative growth up there and assumed it to be a good place for her new "castle in the sky".
They didn't get far.
Some blamed the hot Pacific sun and limited resources on the island, some blamed a voodoo curse put on them by the Haitians, and others still blamed the Captain for her hubris as more and more of them fell dead due to accidents, undernourishment, wildlife, or each other's anger.
The day that they finally made their way to the apex of the sphere was bittersweet for Pialla. On the plus side, she proudly stood atop her new homestead and smiled down upon her ship and the surrounding islands, queen of all that she surveyed. On the downside, however, she was so
caught up in her plans for the settlement that she did not hear the tumbling of rocks in the tunnel below or even catch sight of the mutiny afoot as her ship sailed off into the distance, leaving her for dead and trapped in her own paradise.
Few have ever sought the island out intentionally, partly because of fear of dark magick and her ghost haunting the crest of the sphere, and partly because of the ominous shape that the rocks seem to have taken on after being re-dubbed by the mutineers as "Pialla's Folly"
Unfortunately for you, you may be forced to seek this island out intentionally. Is it simply to see if there are treasures to take back to the safety of elsewhere? The thrill of the challenges in the legends? Or do you share her aspirations of building a home in the clouds, the king or queen of your own little cast-away world?

The Rundown:
Version Built For: 0.54.01exp, but will work fine with Stable build 60.
Building Space: ***** (most of the trees in any good build location are the destructible kind)
Resources: ***
Loot: ** (some of the new shelters, the big new boat, and a plane crash)
Danger: ***** (paradise comes at a price)
Map-Maker's Notes:
I had originally designed this island to be my home base island for my Youtube "Let's Play" for exclusivity right off the bat, with release coming after the channel had been established, but I am not sure if it is my occasionally potato computer (I've played on islands that had a higher object count with no problems) or if it is a matter of object count density/clustering, but the finished product was too laggy on my machine to make for good video. Still perfectly playable, mind you, just not a good "first impression" for a new YouTuber to showcase.
I am working on a "lite" version of it to see if any fat can be trimmed and will release that as well, if successful but, for now, I'd rather see it played and enjoyed, especially by other YouTubers, than gather dust on a virtual shelf. Enjoy!
