Ship Wrecked and Single Castaway Challenge -updated to add new challenge
I do not know if anyone has posted one of these before ... but I have been working on this challenge and creating it's rules and guidelines for some time now and decided it was time to post them here.
The challenge is more simple and not as time consuming as a 10 gen legacy, but once completed can lead into a fun 10 gen legacy if you want.
The concept is as simple as the title states ... you find yourself shipwrecked and alone on an island and must learn to survive, and eventually meet some of the locals, fall in love and marry. Then and only then you ready for free play or change into a normal legacy.
I have built an entire world just for this challenge called Felicity Isles:

There are several other worlds that will also work nicely ... The Manave Isles by RFlong7, BYO Topical Island by Antylinds, and Isola by Ladyemillye and Rflong7, all of which are perfect for this challenge. The only requirements are to have a tropical island with some empty lots available to build on and at least one for the Manave Tribal home, where the chief and a few of the Island villagers live.
Pre-requesites: Money means nothing - you are marooned on an island away from civilization as you know it ... you will need to learn a barter system and use island resources to survive.
Resources - resources are anything you can harvest, or pick, collect on the land such as plants, rocks, metals, fish, etc (how else are you gonna get the resources to build a tent, sleeping bag, firepit and other survival items?)
setting: seasons - easy - normal challenge use summer and spring only, no snow or hail
harder challenges try adding fall and winter with full weather
aging - easy - normal challenge turn off until all challenges are completed
harder challenges try aging on with whatever level you like
moon phase - easy - normal turn off full moon (1 cycle not full moon!)
harder challenges try turning full moon on or even to full moon only!
The rules are simple -
no cheating
when building and buying each square will cost 5 resources (sorry your money is no good)
-- example firepit takes one square so gather 5 rocks -delete them once built
example 2 - a roof made leanto is 3X3 squares and will cost 45 resources maybe bananas and flowers combination. anyway you get the picture and 5 per square keeps the rules and guidelines simple ... you can always up the amount per square if you find 5 is too easy
Plumbing - is only allowed after building a dive well -- you will need to find all 5 dive well pieces plus the remaining 75 resources to build (dive wells are 16 squares=80 resources using 5 as the mulitplier)
When moving always sell all furniture and you must start from fresh.
Challenge #1 - You wash up on an empty island beach
1) collect enough resources to build a leanto (may use roof on ground or on top of posts)

These challenges are written with my new world in mind as all the lots will be in place ... if you choose a different world, you can still do this challenge .. but you will need to build the necesary lots or change the challenges to fit your world.
The challenge is more simple and not as time consuming as a 10 gen legacy, but once completed can lead into a fun 10 gen legacy if you want.
