Add navigable regions or channels to Zindra
tracked
Cuddles Supply
Zindra is a wonderful continent to boat on but there is no way to circumnavigate it. In particular, the south east corner has private land upto the world and and some of the land owners don't allow passage. Navigable water, shown on the areas marked on this screen shot https://gyazo.com/ffc3fbe6e2610a7109dd52e8cd164d72 would provide passage. Also on the south east and east sides. https://gyazo.com/b98159452cccbda561c9cdbd5bd8ad18

I've surveyed Zindra regions today (12th May 2026) and created a map which illustrates the state of Zindra's navigable and unnavigable regions.

SarahKB7 Koskinen This is tremendous! Ty for mapping out the problem areas!!

Please Fix Zindra North-East Coastline
SarahKB7 Koskinen
Although Zindra has/is recently being expanded with new regions on its western and eastern sides, this will still not fix Zindra's coastal problems.
Even after the west and east expansions, Zindra will remain a continent one cannot sail or fly around completely without interruption.
The north-east quarter of Zindra has no protected waterway or aerial routes in it because of over-developed parcels there, which have consumed all land and sea, placing private homes, physical barriers and ban lines on what was once originally open shoreline and seas.
Please add additional protected offshore water regions to the north-east quarter of Zindra where these problems exist (between Foley to Lazonby Pass) which would fully complete the continent as hoped or intended.

Perhaps they could finish Zindra and add some islands and make the new land an adult version of Bellasaria. 99.9% of my activities would be fine in an M-rated region. The reason I wanted to live on Zindra is so I would not ever have to worry about inadvertently violating a rule. Not having to even think about rules makes my SL more carefree. I'll bet there are a lot of people like me who would like a Bellsaria-like experience in adult regions.

Add Bellesaria pattern small islands around mainland to justify completion of continents and expansion of waterways.

This idea comes from conversation in another feedback post found here: https://feedback.secondlife.com/ldpw/p/add-navigable-regions-or-channels-to-zindra
Bellesaria has to my understanding been rather successful and popular with most of the mainland's communities. It offers amenities for the community and finds a middle ground for various parts of it where they can for the most part get along while also providing revenue by encouraging people to buy various premium packages in exchange for residence on the multiple sub-continents of varying themes. But what if we took that a step further?
As was pointed out in the linked suggestion some of the older continents were never finished, perfect examples of these being Zindra and the Gaeta islands and multiple different feedback posts in the past have requested the addition of extra empty water sims around hard to navigate coastlines like the ones found around Nautilus, Gaeta V, Saitori and more.
So what if we added more of those small Bellesaria pattern premium home islands around various parts of the mainland where extra sims are needed? This could be used to justify the completion of these continents and addition of the required infrastructure for at the very least the most difficult to navigate areas with a few extra empty water sims.
Note that I am not suggesting that these continents are completed with premium home islands but instead the premium home islands are added near the areas where extra sims are needed as a supplement so that the continents in question can be completed as close to originally intended as possible and that the public waterways/empty ocean sims can be justified.

I agree! Please realize that idea!

This would be nice and better if added as Linden Homes. They'd likely be popular and as Linden Homes, the look would be better controlled than on Zindra proper.

Hello Cuddles! While we do not currently have plans to update or expand mainland at this time, this could change at a future point! Thanks for the suggestion!

It would be wonderful to have navigable water connecting Volcano Channel to Ursula Bay.

Here's the map I promised. It took much less time to make than I expected, since it turned out to be a great disappointment and I could only retrieve 27 regions' map tiles, 104 are missing. Precisely, Gridsurvey hasn't been to those 104 regions and never got the map tiles, in fact the map tile textures still exist, but we don't know their UUIDs.
With so many of the Ursula regions' tiles not retrievable, it is difficult to say how exactly Zindra would look like with them, for example we still don't know if the island in Lierminster would be the same island as the one north of it, but judging by the visible shape of the larger island, it must be a separate island. And it looks like an ancient volcano and it would look very similar to some parts of Sansara! (For example Pomponio.)
If you look at the big, ugly checkerboard at the Southeast, you'll see one random map tile in there, Ursula 498, which was available on Gridsurvey. Not much, but it seems like their plan was to continue the South Coast's islands and peninsulas there. Other than that, everything else is up to our imagination but it would be great to see the missing 104 tiles.
In my opinion the volcano island on the west side should be definitely finished, as well as the small one around Lierminster. Instead of the 88 regions in the southeast, simply finishing the coastline would be great, too.

It would be absolutely lovely to have more than 3 meters of water--blocked by buildings people have stuck out in the way--to navigate around Zindra! Actually being able to circumnavigate it, and take the channel up through Horizons, would make the A continents a proper place to spend time on the water!
