Finlay Island

Finlay Island, or simply just Finlay after the map revamp, is the part of the map where all players load their properties in. Beginner Tree Species and Rock Nodes spawn on the surface. Finlay also offers immediate access to a few beaches. The area also serves as the main junction connecting all the various locales that Oaklands offers.
Finlay provides eight different property plots for players to load in. After the Oaklands map update, player properties are now much closer together, with the rest of the map becoming much more expansive than before.
== Stores and Locations ==
Finlay offers several functions as the main hub of Oaklands. Finlay has the Resource Hub, which allows players to sell both processed and unprocessed goods. Finlay also contains five shops: 
* Oak Depot: sells all of the basic Schematics, all starter and professional machinery, most of the vehicle spawners, various tools, and various items.
* Mike's Mines Shop: sells low-tier explosives.
* Lighthouse: sells various specialty items.
* Jer's Junk: sells various specialty items, both decorational and functional, and 3 different sizes of Storage Crates.
* Radical Shack: sells beach/ocean oriented items and the Living Axe.
Finlay also acts as a central area for many special quests in the game. Finlay has two Pedestals, and Ferwater has one. These Pedestals are used for the Uncertain Pickaxe and Adurite Key quests and the final location for the Emberbane Axe quest:
* Pedestal 1 is located on the way to the Lighthouse.
* Pedestal 2 is located at the edge of a rock behind Alan's AutoLogistics.
* Pedestal 3 is located on the way to Illumine Designs.
* The Emberbane Ruins are located on the hilltop on the way to the Lighthouse behind an unmarked wall which can be identified by its indent and its discoloration. It can be broken with explosives.
Finlay is connected to other separate areas essential to progression as well: 
* Ferwater is connected to Finlay by a bridge. 
* An entrance to Mike's Mines is located near player spawn, which in turn serves as the entrance to the Magma Caves.
* An entrance to the Acid Wastes is located behind an explodable wall in front of Alan's AutoLogistics.
== Species of Trees ==
Three default species of trees spawn on Finlay, with three other species spawning in specific places on the surface of the island. These trees are the main tree species that spawn on Finlay, not including those that spawn via special events. These trees are mainly for beginners to earn money or to be used as a cheap building material. The trees that fall into this category are listed below:
* Oak Tree
* Birch Tree 
* Red Maple Tree
Three types of trees spawn in a specific location on Finlay. These trees are slightly more valuable than the beginner trees, but appear to be mainly implemented merely for decoration purposes. The trees that fall into this category are listed below:
* Olive Tree: spawns in the hilltop area on the way to the Lighthouse.
* Petrified Oak Tree: spawns in the hilltop area on the way to the Lighthouse.
* Blue Pine Tree: spawns on the slopes near Alan's AutoLogistics.
Some trees can only spawn on the beaches of Finlay. These trees are low-value trees implemented merely for decoration purposes, with the exception of the high-value Kelp. The trees that fall into this category are listed below:
* Palm Tree
* King Palm Tree
* Kelp, in the ocean near beach shores.
Special types of trees can spawn during special events. Only two event trees are active at this time. The trees that fall into this category are listed below:
* Electrified Tree: appears during thunderstorms upon lightning striking any type of tree.
* Magma Tree: appears at Meteor impact sites in numbers of 4-5.

=== Common Ores ===
As a summary, Finlay offers the basic stone types with several potential ores. The main stone types that most players will find on Finlay are Darkslate, Lightslate, Smokeslate, and Beigeslate, and Blueslate. As a special case, Marble spawns in the hilltop area on the way to the Lighthouse or on the slope below Alan's AutoLogistics. 
Many common ores can spawn on any of the stone types found in Finlay, such as Copper, Tin, Iron, Gold, and Pyrite. These ores are of low value, but can easily be found on most nodes. The rarest and most profitable common ore that spawns on Finlay is Rose Gold.
=== Rare Ores ===
Rare ores can also spawn in Finlay - these tend to be much rarer and spawn in a specific stone type. Only one rare ore is unique to Finlay, which is:
* Rosa Quartz - Only spawns in Marble nodes located near the Lighthouse or Alan's AutoLogistics.
There are some rare ores that can spawn in Finlay but do not have a single specific stone type, meaning they can spawn in other parts of the map. Listed from highest to lowest rarity:
* Magnetite - 1/1000 chance to spawn at night in any Lightslate node, glows a translucent purple (Finlay is the most likely island for Lightslate nodes to spawn on).
* Uranium - 1/500 chance to spawn in Grimestone nodes in the Acidlands.
* Adurite - 1/175 chance to spawn in almost any node except for Grimestone and Marble.
* Mythril - 1/100 chance to spawn in Lightslate, Beigeslate, and Darkslate nodes.
* Greeb - 1/50 chance to spawn in Marble nodes, or in Grimestone in the Acidlands.
=== Miscellaneous Ores ===
Below are the ores that do not fit the other categories: 
* Inkstone - Common ore used for special quests. It can be enchanted into ? ? ? at Uncertainty Cave.
* Quartz - Decorative ore that spawns in Marble nodes. Once refined and forged, its color is a pure white, useful for making modern builds.
* Sand - Spawns on beaches in Sandstone nodes. Sand can be refined and forged to create Glass.
* Blue Clay, Brown Clay, and Red Clay - Spawns on the Ocean floor. All Clay variants can be refined and forged to create Bricks of their respective color.

== Trivia ==
* Finlay Island was the first island to be added to the game.
* Several Meteor spawn locations have been added to Finlay.
* The Lighthouse on Finlay used to be broken in half and served as the spawn for Magma Trees; after the map update, the Lighthouse returned to its former glory and as a result no longer spawns Magma Trees.
* After the map update, Jer's Junkyard and its functions have been split into two locations. The Resource Hub is now the area to sell goods and Jer's Junk has now been set up outside the Lighthouse.
* Players used to be able to sell their materials at the Oak Depot, but this feature has been removed in favor of the Resource Hub.
* The Classic Store used to be on Finlay before being moved to Ferwater in the island expansion update.
