How to unlock the Island Hermit achievement in Stranded Deep - Definitive Guide

Super easy. At the beginning of the game, simply stay on your starter island for the first 10 days. Spend the time gathering supplies, building a raft, and leveling up your skills. I went to sleep on the night of the ninth day, when I woke the ‘cheevo popped for me.
I was able to combine this one with Gone Green, Day 10, and Fish are Friends, as they all have a 10 day requirement.

Random fyi:
Not sure if this achievement was just bugged luckily for me, but I actually only spent 7 consecutive days on my island (yes I counted them with every sleep) and it popped!

Also, this achievement can be done simultaneously with the ‘Gone Green’ achievement. Your food/water don’t drain as fast as you’d expect. Easiest way to do this is by starting a new world (seed doesn’t matter at all) and you can literally go idle for the first few days. Between the 3 rations you begin with on your yellow floating raft and coconuts, this achievement is easy breezy.
After your hunger completely drains, eat one ration. That’ll hold you over for almost two more days, and by that point you’ve only got 3 or 4 days left.

Spread your rations out efficiently while consuming coconuts in moderation to avoid diarrhea. I promise this achievement is much easier than it sounds

It's an exploit but if you make a "pile of coconut drinks" adding empty coconut drinks to the pile will refill them for infinite water. Just don't drink more than 2 per 10 in game minutes(diarrhea)

I got it today and if you're wondering how far out you can swim, I never went past the drop off into the abyss, so you can swim around your island no problem.

@haydngames fish and crabs. I had stacks of meat from them, more than i knew what to do with. Coconuts work too, just space them out every 10 in game minutes.

So I got the following achievements at the same exact time: Gone Green, Seafarer, Fish Are Friends, and Day 10 but the Island Hermit didn't pop. Stayed up until getting Day 20 and still nothing. To confirm, I never even left the dry land of my starter Island.

Had a similar issue with this one not popping. First time around I gave up after 18 days on the same island. It looks like the trick is 10 days on the same island, within the same session.

By same session I mean you can't fully quit out of the game, or exit to the main menu. You can save/sleep at your shelter, pause, and even turn off your console (assuming quick resume is enabled). Basically if you find yourself at the main menu and continuing your save, your 10-day timer has reset to 0.

save yourself 4 hours and do this in one single session. The playing a couple hours then loading a save did not work for me.

PRO- TIP:
HEALTH REGENERATES WHEN BOTH WATER AND FOOD LEVELS ARE ABOVE 5 BLOCKS ON YOUR WATCH (hit Y button).

UPDATE:
Put palm fronds under the Water Still Collector for water to accumulate!!!!
I thought I had to wait for it to rain.

QUESTION:
What are the limits?

I think I may have extended this, because I swam out to a sunken boat just 10 ft off land. Did that restart my time?
Please add limitations to the guides.

So warning, it's probably best to not enter any water that makes your character swim. It may consider you OFF the island.

UPDATE / ANSWER:
I don't believe swimming to that boat restarted my time. I suppose it's considered part of the island. Phew! Achievement unlocked.

If you are new to the game, this is not easy without knowing the game basics.

Health: If you get diarrhea, poison, or let any of the other bars (water, food, UV) go all the way down; your health will drop. Prevent this at all cost. To Regen Health, max the food & water bars and then your status should say healthy, in which, health regen begins.

Water: Drink 2 coconuts per day (3 equals diarrhea). Good but not enough. You can get infinite water with no daily limit 2 ways: Combine a coconut with rope to to make Flask, you get 1 drink and throw away but can keep repeating. Or the easiest way for unlimited water is to use the Water Still. What most people dont realize initially is that if you chop down a palm tree and keep refilling the water still with palm leaves it will regenerate water rapidly. To refill, hold the palm leaf and look at the base of the still.

Food: Depends on which other achievements you are combining. Eat 2 coconut halves per day. Fruits and potatoes are good but don't eat more than 2 in a day. 1 ration will last a day. More can be randomly found in shipwrecks. Crabs, some people stated that they ate crab and it did not void the meat or fish achievements. But I cannot confirm that.

This is the guide that saved me.
Placing PALM FRONDS at bottom of the WATER STILL COLLECTOR was the solution.

First Huge Thumbs Up 👍 from me !!!
Merci. toast

PRO TIP:
Health slowly regenerates when Food & Water levels are above 5 blocks.
Health slowly decreases when either is below 5 blocks.

Hey guys, this is the first time for me writing a guide. I am adding here some advice which was mentioned before by other guides. So all Credits to them. Well done!rock

I did this in my second playthrough. When you are starting a new game it can become quite hard to keep focus on what you have to do. As an advice follow the instructions from the tutorial first. To get some overview about the mechanics. It takes some time until you get a higher skill in crafting. And on the first island there is not enough material to become a good "handyman".😂

1. Get yourself some coconuts. This is most important if you do not want to get dehydrated. Make a pile stack of peeled off coconuts. 3 to 5 should do it. The trick is: If you take 2 coconuts from the pile, drink them and then put them back to the pile, they will be full again the next time you grab'em. So you do not have to panic if you can't build the water still just yet. Only two drinks every 10 ingame minutes!☝️

2. Be patient in what you are doing with stones. A knife and an axe is the most important to craft. You can(and you have to) cut down every yukka tree you find so that it can grow back quickly. Collect the fiber leaves and make a pile. You need them later for cloth and lashing. And to refill the water still if you have it. But build the loom first. Just to avoid running out of cloth.

3.Craft a fisher spear and go hunting in the water. Not to far because of the sharks. Hunt smaller fish and build up a smoker as fast as you can. If you do it all over again you rank up hunting very fast. Smoke your fish. So you don't ran out of food. Stay near the smoker to get a better cooking skill. The higher the skill the less hungrier you are. Remember: the fish will not get rotten if you don't cut the meat out of it. Cutting meat out of an animal will not wear out your knife.

4. Check the loot in ship wrecks. But be aware of sharks. But don't open it. Go back to your shelter and save your progress. Now you can open it. If there is only crap in it just quit to title screen and reload your save game. Rinse and repeat until you find something useful. There should be other items in that box every you reload. I was collecting refined hammers, lamps and leather.

5. Try to build up a 2x2 raft with the leftovers. That you can leave this Island safer after you finished your achievement. You can clear down the whole island. Cut down every Palm tree to get wood for the smoker.

10 days are a very long time in this game and it is getting kind of boring at the 4th day. But hang on and mob up your skills. Later on the game will become easier for you.

I did it at the end, when I had collected a bunch of canned goods, resources and was working on trophies: “do everything” and 10 days without meat
