DrTenabrae Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Can we get another source of temporal gears ? Traders selling them more ? Locusts or locust nests having a drop chance ? Something we can more reliably farm than drifters (locusts having them would also give us a reason not to destroy their nests and come back later... which if there's a mechanic for locusts spreading eventually......)

Stroam Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 Why do you want gears to be easier to obtain? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrTenabrae Posted September 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 The drop rate on temporal gears is awful. When you needed one to set a spawn it was ok... now we need 3 at a time it's insufficient. Now that we can't carry enough food to explore long distances we need translocators. The game has changed, for anyone who doesn't want to just sit in their base all day, temporal gears are now a necessity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yukihira_S Posted September 13, 2019 Report Share Posted September 13, 2019 I suppose that another source of temporal gear would be useful but not for the reason told by DrTenebrae but because drifters are quite lame as monsters (wolves do a much more better job) and I wouldn't mind if Tyrone decide to remove them from the game.

MICHAEL CAMPBELL Posted December 27, 2019 Report Share Posted December 27, 2019 I have built a drifter drop that works rather well It nets me a rather nice haul in fiber and gears when I bother to go check it. I wanted to do the same for rabits but turns out you have to skin them before they drop anything so landing them on a hopper over a chest from 30 blocks up doesnt work as well as it does on the drifters:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theishiopian Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 The current drop rate isnt too bad, I already have three space temporal gears after playing a day in 1.12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICHAEL CAMPBELL Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 I Think its fine as well. I like to build spawn drop structures with hoppers at the bottom and find that you can even skip farming for flax. you can end up on a daily basis with about 1 to three temporal gears 8 to 12 regular gears or coin and between half and a full stack of flax fiber in a 24 hour game day its quite nice:) save the Preta for some other crop:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
