* The ExcusePlot for ''VideoGame/{{Factorio}}'' is a Robinsonade: you are an engineer whose spaceship has crashed on an alien planet, and you must rebuild the infrastructure necessary to launch a rocket in order to leave, dealing with hostile native life all the while. This plot does sometimes confuse newcomers who are expecting something similar to a SurvivalSandbox experience and instead receive a FactoryBuildingGame, where the main character doesn't require any food or water and the angry aliens are simply another logistics problem to solve.

** ''Literature/TheLighthouseAtTheEndOfTheWorld'' features a group of people wrecked on an island off of Tierra del Fuego. This time, Verne made the castaways the villains - they have resorted to [[SalvagePirates luring ships in to crash on the reefs]] to get supplies and so oppose the operators of the titular lighthouse (the [[Film/TheLightAtTheEdgeOfTheWorld 1971 movie adaptation changed the plot to have the villains not be castaways).

Audiences have long been used to the kind of Robinsonade stories that hardly ever go into detail as to what exactly being stranded on a deserted island implies and what you need to do in order to survive. As a result, it's hardly surprising quite many people have developed a cynical attitude to the premise, assuming that in RealLife only the baddest of badasses with years of experience on survival in the wild could possibly dream of making it through all the way until the rescue arrives. A case of RealityIsUnrealistic as in fact most deserted islands do offer plenty of fresh water and food, provided that you know where to look and how to catch or harvest the food. There are numerous recorded cases in which even people with little to no experience of living outside the conveniences of modern civilization managed to survive for quite a while before being rescued. Experts in deserted island survival have even posted [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QKs-kTaKv2o YouTube videos showing basic skills]]. (Protip: fresh water, shelter, fire (including signal fires), and food, in that order.)
