Bento (Island)

Introduction
Bento Island is one of the many islands within the game. It is situated in the center of the map, and is a good starting point for players, having a plethora of resources to offer.

Location
Bento Island is the centermost island in the game, thus being a great jumping-off point for getting anywhere in the game. The Island's closest neighbouring islands are Spring, Flax, Rockma, Paradise and Mainland.

Resources
Bento Island contains many simpler resources, being devoid of any minerals. The island is home to 3 patches of forestry, containing in total 7 Large Trees, 9 Small Trees, 10 Small Bushes and 3 Berry Bushes. Moreover, the island contains 2 large rocks, on which Small Stones and Dead Bushes spawn. In total, the island contains 5 Small Stone patches, totalling 20 small stones, alongside 5 Dead Bushes. Finally, the island contains 2 Water Sources.

Wildlife
Bento Island is home to a single species of animal, the Bento. On the island both male Bentos (Bento Bucks) and female Bentos (Bento Deer) are found, making for a good source of food and trading material.

Playstyle
If you choose to live on Bento Island, you will undoubtedly face issues within your gameplay. Since Bento Island is one of the islands in which players can naturally spawn in, you may be overrun with players messing with your items and buildings. You may also face raiders, since the island is in a central location and is on flat terrain, therefore not having any sort of defensibility. If you choose to continue, Bento Island can offer a plentiful game. You will have easy access to wood, alongside food and water. This will allow you to easily sustain yourself on the island. However, since the island isn't home to any minerals, to progress in the game you will have to get minerals from other islands. Luckily, Rockma Island is nearby, allowing you to easily get Iron and Coal, which you can use to make Steel. Furthermore, you can head to Flax Island which is also nearby to get Flax, which can be used to make several buildings and tools.

Living on Bento Island is not seen often, and for good reasons, but doing so can provide with an interesting game and experience.
