Thanks! It was quite difficult and nerve-racking fighting the bosses on permadeath, especially after a few failed attempts caused me to restart completely lol. I plan to overtake the current record of 421 days, lol. Fun fact: I have looted 23 of the islands on my world and all corresponding shipwrecks, and have only found one piece of duct tape. Had to finally deconstruct my boat motor to use the duct tape to make the speargun, so back at the sails again for now. Also to add a bit of information about the toolbelt/inventory bug that occurred in my other save. I haven’t loaded it up in a while, but since I accidentally saved with empty inventory and lost toolbelt it will likely not be redeemable. I was host on around day 60 when it finally happened, on a private multiplayer game. A friend had joined multiple times after a series of disconnects and watch desync issues. The common items that I had on my toolbelt with other reports I’ve seen were the speargun (in bottom slot) refined pick (in left slot). I had all 4 toolbelt slots unlocked. The save file that I’m using now was created before the patch was released, but I was careful to observe which items I placed in toolbelt. Up until now on the new file, I have only used 2 toolbelt slots (just in case the bug occurred I would still be able to make another 2 slots). Top slot being always occupied by a refined axe and right slot always a refined spear. I recently crafted the 3rd (bottom) toolbelt slot and placed a speargun in it, which I don’t plan to change for testing purposes. I have not had any issues so far. I know this comment is likely in the wrong place, but there are a few different topics about this bug and not sure if any were created in reference to playing on the Xbox Series X. Feel free to move this post elsewhere if there is a more fitting place.
Happy surviving everyone, hope this may help someone avoid the calamity
