About this game

Tinker Islands is a multiplayer sandbox set in unique ocean worlds filled with tropical islands for you and your friends to explore. Some islands are abundant in resources; others hide forgotten treasure, dangerous creatures, or places full of mystery. Whether you're sailing solo or with friends, there's always a new island on the horizon worth checking out.
Choose the perfect place to settle: From sandy beaches to deep jungles, or towering cliffs - build your own outpost, hideout, or cozy township. Progress by exploring the world, gathering materials, crafting new tools and equipment, and finding powerful blueprints.
The journey is its own reward: Set sail, follow your curiosity, and create your own stories along the way.
