A Desert Island for the Center Map

This is a fork of Awesome Alpaca's Scorched Center map extension. You can find the original here https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=827767778

Awesome Alpaca announced the abandonment of this mod ( http://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/discussion/827767778/133259227518547540/ ) and made the source public. As I am using it for my server I decided to re-publish his code and make it available to others who might want it.

I also forked Awesome Alpaca's Desert Engrams mod which can be found here: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=882306567

The Plans

I did not originally have any plans for this mod. I just wanted to get a secure version up and running in case the original gets taken off line.

I have added a couple SE creatures to the jungles and redwoods (moths and mantis) and deathworms to the beaches of the lava island. And I have removed all the cactus and salt from the other islands. They can now only be found on the desert island.

I have added Sand and Clay as pickups on the beaches, the sand on sandy beaches and clay along the edges of river and lakes, the dirt beaches and in the swamp.

Purple mat plants can be harvested for silk in the south jungle island, and will be added to the other islands when I get some time.
