About this site
Who runs this Mayday: The Survival Island guide, what sources every page is built from, how corrections work, and what the site deliberately will not publish.
Every figure below is checked against Pequi studios announcements or Steam's own endpoints on 2026-11-09.
This site is a guide to Mayday: The Survival Island, an archipelago survival game from Pequi studios published by indie.io and released on Windows through Steam on 2 November 2026. Written and maintained by one person who plays the game, not a studio and not an agency.
Sources
Every number on this site has an address. Prices, review counts, system requirements and language lists come from the Steam store page for app 1686230. Achievement names, their official descriptions and their global unlock percentages come from Steam's own achievement endpoints. Patch contents come from the developer's Steam announcements, quoted or paraphrased, never invented. Player counts come from Steam's current-players endpoint and from SteamCharts.
The developer is unusually communicative, which makes this easier than it usually is. Pequi studios posted nine patch announcements between 4 and 9 November, several of them explaining what broke and why. When a page here says a bug was fixed on a particular date, that date is the announcement's date.
Four things this site refuses
It will not publish numbers the game does not show. No drop-rate table appears here, no weapon damage comparison, no boss health bar transcribed from a data mine, no experience curve. The game does not display those values, the developer has not published them, and a guide that fills them in is making them up.
It will not publish per-island coordinates or maps. Twenty-four islands exist; the game expects you to find them. Anything claiming a full coordinate set for this game is not quoting the game.
It will not tell you a build is mandatory or that a weapon is meta. There are no classes, no skill trees and no competitive ladder here, so those words do not mean anything in this game.
Corrections
The game is eight days old at the time of writing and the balance is still moving. If a page states something the current build no longer does, that is a fault worth reporting. Send it through the contact page with the version number from your main menu, which has been displayed there since the 6 November patch. Pages that get corrected have their checked date bumped, and the date in the footer of every page is the date that specific page was last verified, not the date the site was built.
Imagery
Screenshots on this site are official promotional material taken from the game's Steam store listing, used to identify the game and to illustrate mechanics. They are not captures of this author's save file. All rights remain with Pequi studios and indie.io.
Independence
This site is not affiliated with Pequi studios or indie.io, and it is not an official wiki. Nobody at either company reviews these pages before publication. If the developer disagrees with something written here, the contact address reaches the author, not the studio.
