Three identical starter islands on my server

[DrSmith 3]

As the title says, I have three of the six islands on my single server map that are identical starter islands. This would explain the lack of people playing on my server. Does anyone have a solution to repairing this problem before I open a support ticket?

This isn't a bug, it's a feature. So to speak. That's how all the official servers are. It's kind of their way of "instancing", because it would be too crowded if there were just one starter island, so there are 4 identical ones in a diamond shape. You can see them all over the official map if you look for them. However for a small private server it is very unnecessary, so I would also like to know if there's a way to get rid of them. One problem I can think of off the top of my head, is there's an NPC called a Ferryman that you can talk to to fast travel between the 4 islands. If there is only one, he might freak out and cause some bugs or crashes. I hear he has a short temper

Haha. We don't want to piss off the Ferryman. Thanks for your response. I saw your other post pertaining to this matter. I will continue to pursue a way to make some changes to this and also hope for a solution from others.

If you find a way of safely opening up the default map for editing that would be cool or if someone has a map with more islands & only 1 starter area as private servers starting from 10 players need variety more than starter zones...
