### 3/5 — WE NEED UPDATES！

*2026-07-20, version 1.84*

N MODS, PLEASE. THANKS

### 4/5 — Баги и добавления фишек.

*2026-05-02, version 1.84*

Игра отличная, правда есть баги прошу исправить. Первый баг в том что когда ты играешь у тебя интерфейс с крафтами немного приближен что не удобно. Второе когда ты играешь за персонажа «Walani» и когда надо поставить доску для серфинга надо обязательно полчаса пытаться поставить его на воду. Также пожалуйста вас прошу сделайте для этой игры чтобы люди могли подключить клавиатуру и играть. А так игра отличная.

### 2/5 — So many bugs…

*2025-09-15, version 1.84*

This is the game that you don’t wan to use the mobile device to play

### 4/5 — Just some visual bugs for the moment

*2025-08-28, version 1.84*

I used to play this game like 4 or 5 year ago and now I’m playing again and it’s just how I remember, it has some visual bugs when you plant berries and other things also when you a a crab it’s says rabbit little details that I can live with but them getting fixed would definitely make me happy

### 3/5 — Doesn’t work Russian language

*2025-08-12, version 1.84*

When I choose Russian language this game crashed and don’t change language on 16 pro max

### 2/5 — 存档导出

*2025-06-19, version 1.84*

为什么不支持存档导出？dont starve pocket edition是支持的。

### 4/5 — Wood legs is really hard to unlock

*2025-06-17, version 1.84*

I love this game it’s awesome but woodlegs is way to hard to unlock I just wish they would make woodlegs less hard to unlock if I had woodlegs I would play the game more oh and also I don’t have a crashing problem the thing with the crashes just doesn’t happen to me

### 2/5 — 游戏天数 132 天，说一下我碰到的几个 bug

*2025-06-14, version 1.84*

1.攻击野怪时偶尔出现游戏音效缺失；
2.进入火山内部后与外界时间同步失效（外部时间 132 天，火山内部 70 天），这一点特别影响游戏体验，无法献祭，火山随时喷发；
3.没有木门，只能围着岛岸围墙，渡渡鸟非常容易被狗咬；
4.移植的非官方 mod 强制开启，包括焦油提取器，船修复机器等等，但是一整套 mod 也没有移植全，焦油相关的机器还有一个海妖钻头没有移植进去；
目前就第二点这个 bug 非常影响游戏体验，无法正常献祭，希望开发人员早日修复。

### 3/5 — Small UI

*2025-06-08, version 1.84*

UI is too small on Iphone 16 pro max

### 4/5 — Difficulty

*2025-05-26*

Also vorab, ich liebe dieses Spiel. Auf dem Handy scheint es jedoch ein extrem schweres Spiel zu sein. Wer kein Veteran ist wird hier nicht weiter als die erste Season kommen. Ich habe es in die letzte Season geschafft aber hatte bis dahin so gut wie keine Pause zum durchatmen. In der halben Zeit fehlten mir Heilung und ich bin seit einer halben Ewigkeit insane. Haben die Entwickler es selbst nicht probiert? Scheint mir fast so. Es ist an manchen Stellen einfach zu Schwer. Es ist ein Wunder das meine Welt noch existiert, jedoch habe ich Zweifel wenn es um die letzte Season geht. Mal sehen wie schwer es noch wird.

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2026-03-31, version 1.84*

The ui is a disaster. Movement is just bad.
Made a fire and pickaxe, is that the whole game?

### 1/5 — There’s a bug why don’t you fix?

*2025-09-14, version 1.84*

I cannot place the surf board so I cannot go to another island. If it’s free I don’t mind but I paid for this???

### 1/5 — 闪退

*2025-09-01, version 1.84*

进火山就闪退了 tm的 七百多天的档啊！啊 气死我了 现在存档都崩了 一点进去就闪退 垃圾 这个bug 都八九年了 还tm不修复！泔水桶 啊 花钱买的 就体验个这？

### 1/5 — 这操作按键玩得一点也不舒服

*2025-08-28, version 1.84*

就不能把这个操作按键往手机屏幕中间挪一挪吗？也改不了，玩得特别难受

### 1/5 — Love the games…

*2025-05-15, version 1.84*

This controls (inventory boxes, attack, controls) in the app version on an iPad 12.9 are unplayable. Very disappointed.

### 1/5 — 화산 들어가면 계속 튕기고 다시 안들어가짐

*2025-05-12, version 1.84*

그냥 불러오기에서 계속 튕기니까 삭제할수밖에 없었음 버그 좀 고쳐라

### 1/5 — Жах

*2025-03-31, version 1.84*

Виправте баги у грі неможливо грати нічого не можна зкрафтити все працює не правильно тілики гроші на вітер

### 1/5 — Sound keeps quitting

*2025-02-22, version 1.84*

All sounds stopped 1hr after starting the game.  Deleted it and then reinstalled—that fixed it for another hour.  I don’t want to play the game without sound.

### 1/5 — No way to get infinite lives.

*2024-11-26, version 1.84*

I remember on the other don't starve games there was always some sort of option to make it so you could come back to life without having to start a new game, but not on shipwrecked. There is nothing more frustrating than when you take a long time to build your base, and a sea monster jumped onto land, and you try to get away but there are too many trees around you and you accidentally click on the trees instead and just get brutally murdered, then to add insult to injury lose the entire file you spent so long trying to work on and have to start all over from scratch. It absolutely killed the game for me, and it is a real shame too because it is otherwise a really beautiful game.

### 1/5 — Can not place the sandbag.

*2024-09-30, version 1.84*

Please fix the bug.
