Bento (Island)

Bento Island is one of the most popular and easily recognizable islands in Survival 303. This island is smack dab in the centre of the map and full of wildlife, water, and a wonderful buffet of resources, making Bento an ideal start to any survivor's journey.
== Location ==
Bento Island is the centermost Island in the game and is a great starting point for survivors who wish to travel far and wide. This area neighbours Spring, Flax, Rockma, Paradise and Mainland.
The Island is mostly flat; the centre of the land is bare, while the edges grow trees and spawn resources. 
== Resources ==
=== Forageables ===
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. The males give hide while the females give raw Bento meat. They do not attack you, even if provoked.
== Playstyle ==
Although the island is generous in its resources, a player chosing to live on Bento may encounter a number of issues. As both a spawn point and a central hub Bento Island is not an ideal place to settle, especially for those who prefer to keep their belongings and person intact. Raiders, griefers, and other unsavoury characters often target players at Bento, the central location and flat terrain make the area difficult to defend. 
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.Category:Islands
