• Various improvements and bug fixes
Oxide: Survival Island Online brings the high-tension, hardcore survival experience popularized by games like Rust to the mobile platform. It doesn't hold your hand—you start with nothing on a dangerous shore and must immediately find resources to survive hunger, cold, and other players. The persistent servers are a major feature here; the world keeps running even when you're offline, which makes base building and fortification feel incredibly significant. The constant threat of being raided by other clans adds a layer of paranoia and excitement that few other mobile games can match.
The crafting and building systems have been significantly improved in recent updates, offering a deep level of customization for your base. From simple wood shacks to massive metal fortresses with cupboards to prevent decay, the progression is tangible. The game also features a variety of biomes and a growing map that rewards exploration. While the learning curve is steep and the community can be ruthless, it's the most authentic multiplayer survival simulator available on iOS, especially for those who enjoy high-stakes PvP and cooperative base building.
Persistent multiplayer servers
Deep crafting & building
Dynamic biomes (Cold, Hot, Temperate)
In-game friends & clan system
Intense PvP and raiding
Immediately gather wood and stone to craft a stone hatchet and pickaxe. Build a small 1x1 base and place a cupboard inside with wood to prevent the structure from decaying while you are offline.
Use the building system to create layers of walls and doors. Craft weapons like machine guns or explosives to raid rival bases for resources and loot.
The cupboard protects your base area and prevents your structures from decaying if you keep it supplied with logs.
This game has come a long way. I remember playing this game when it first came out and the amount of bugs and glitches was unbearable. The game was still new and being developed so it was really bad. Now a couple of years later the game has transformed into something with so much potential. The only thing i have a hard time with is that there’s no gyro aiming. It would be a good idea to add gyro to the game. Not only would it help players get better but it would also bring other players from other games to try this game. As someone who plays PUBG mobile and COD mobile. It’s almost unbearable to aim in this game without gyro.
Oxide, is a really nice game, and the best copy of rust on phones, BUT, there are things thats needs to change, and im looking forward to rebalancing the craft and PVP, first, lets talk about crafting system, me and everyone especially would love to rebalance crafting, delete sticks, and delete planks, why? It takes too much time to craft it, and I want to use only wood, and I want you to rebalance ammo, its hard to craft, and takes too long, I want to ammo craft quickly, like in rust, for 1 craft you get 2 ammo instead of one, now, lets talk about PVP rebalancing, I want for you to make sleepers, because I hate to PVP players, and when they start to losing they just leave, they use scripts, and Iphone, on iphone you just close app and you’re leaving in a second, now, lets talk about another things, aid kits, can you add some sort of kd, because in oxide fights winning ones who has more kits, can you make kd, and I want to people win not because they have scripts for leaving, and more kits, I want to people win because they are more skilled, I hope developers gonna see this, and use what I said, good luck ;)
Hello. I have encountered a serious issue that directly affects the gameplay experience and the ability to play with friends. At the moment, it is impossible to change the region in the game, even after fully meeting all standard requirements. The region is assigned automatically, and the game does not provide any option to change it manually. As a result, I cannot play with my friends because we are located in different regions, and the system strictly limits interaction between them. This appears to be a bug or a design oversight because: The region is selected automatically with no option for manual change; There is no warning or explanation provided; The issue completely blocks the cooperative aspect of the game. I kindly ask you to: Fix the region change mechanic or add a manual region selection option; Or provide an official way to change the region without the need to recreate an account; Clarify whether this restriction is intended or if it is a bug. This issue affects not only me — many players are facing the same problem, especially those who want to play with friends from other regions. This is critical for a multiplayer game and significantly reduces player interest. I hope for a prompt fix and feedback. Thank you
Your game is honestly really good, the way it feels almost exactly like rust is mind blowing. The one downside is the fact that you can’t adjust every button in the UI, and it has some random red box in the corner for the opacity an size which is honestly useless, you should be able to move it around and not have it stuck in one spot, you can’t see it in game and can’t put any binds in that area. That limits me to actually feeling comfortable while playing. FPS games on mobile I use 6 fingers for so not being able to use the whole screen do the UI is annoying, especially when I accidentally click the shop button trying to to jump mid gunfight.
I love the game overall but definitely need some improvements. Too many hackers make the game unfair. The hackers are getting better and I’m getting killed out my heli with an ar all headshots and aimbot it’s insane. I built and unraidable base to only get raided by hackers and afk spawned by Chinese hackers inside the base. I wouldn’t care if it was a fair raid it just makes the game no fun. I’ve gained a lot of good friends through this game and I love to keep playing and I will for sure. One other thing I can say is the prices for the item shops are way too high. The first three turrets, heli, buggie are set at a reasonable price. But the mining quarry at a whopping $50 to get 2k stone 500 metal 200 sulf for 100 fuel. The return is ok but for the price is too expensive man. I really want yall to add ladders next. Thats all :)
It’s a fun game but every time you log off you have to throw everything in your inventory because as soon as you are gone someone will come raid you. It doesn’t matter where you put your base what server you are on how strong your base is it will get raided every time you log off because so many people hack. I try to find a server with not a lot of people and go to the edge of the map and build a 1x1 with a wall around it and upgraded all the way it will get raided every time I’m gone but I will have all the loot on me because your body disappears when you log off and I just have to fix some minor things when I log back on that’s the best way I’ve found to play lol
honestly, I think Oxide: Survival Island Online is a great game. It’s definitely got that Minecraft and Fortnite vibe with the graphics and the point that you are stranded on an island. One thing that makes me SO MAD! It’s that on PVE servers, if a person glitches through a door, they can take ALL your things and you can’t even kill them! I hope you add a banish update where you ca banish people who can intrude your base. I lost multiple weapons, armor, and resources because of this, so please add a update and if you make this an actual update, moderators and creators, then I will be WAY happier. Like I said, the game has great potential and I recommend if you don’t mind the survival struggle.
The game is getting some features that are extremely needed but some things you need to add are ramps and low walls they are a key part in peaks in a base. Pushing cars that are stuck. explosives that are worse like satchels, and Molotov for wooden parts of bases. More variety in weaponry. And lastly better farming tools that get more resources per unit not just to where they farm quicker but farm more like you get 30 metal you would get 40 with jack hammer. Just remembered, thatch before wood and also being able to skip certain materials you shouldn’t have to spend stone then metal it’s a stupid system . Please review over all these issues and change some are easier ones then others but need to be added
