Part of the problem is that you have to purchase all the sections of an island in order to unlock the next island. Personally, while I like the look of the islands, I think I would rather just have one large space in which to build. At least then, I could come up with the most optimal arrangement for my crystals and habitats to maximize the effect of the crystals.
