Yowie Posted February 25, 2025 Report Posted February 25, 2025 i love how these people complain and blame the game when its all on them, when everyone else who is enjoying the game has taken the time to learn how to play it, before complaining on the forums. 2
Motivation 101 Posted March 10, 2025 Report Posted March 10, 2025 Ok i am coming back to apologize for my last post. Truth Is I had been drinking a little maybe and just got the game and did not realize the different looks of clay in this game since that post I have played 25 or so more hours and I am starting to really like it. I even got my 2 sons to buy and play on a server with me. Smithing is so far my favorite thing along with being able to chisel blocks for custom building. Thank you for all the comments sorry I was quick to to talk down this game before really trying it lesson learned. 4
Thorfinn Posted March 10, 2025 Report Posted March 10, 2025 (edited) @Zane Mordien, a couple games ago, I had to explore a whole lot further to find clay. Probably around 2500 tiles. Far enough that I formed 16 storage vessels, because they are over twice as dense as clay. As long as you know you are going to need so many anyway, why not? On my way home, I stumbled across a block of red clay. One block. A couple dozen spaces from my farm. So once I burned through all the clay I brought home, and needed a bunch more for skeps, I checked out that tile. Turns out there was clay under it. Remove that one, there was clay all around it. It turned out to be a massive deposit, following the gentle slope, covered by a single layer of low fert and forest, but, shoot, I'd never seen that before (or since), just a single block giving the game away. @Motivation 101, no worries. Early game frustration is so common we all understand. Even if alcohol were not involved. Edited March 10, 2025 by Thorfinn 1
Zane Mordien Posted March 10, 2025 Report Posted March 10, 2025 @Thorfinn With my first 1.20 world I had that issue myself. I just couldn't see it, but I knew it was there close by. I spent game days until I finally found it and same thing it was not even 100 blocks from my base, but obscured. The one that really got me early on was limestone. I went maybe 5-6k south to find it on my 3-4th world. Packed up my inventory fat with it and some bauxite and came back to base so proud of my determination to find it when everybody complained about granite starts. The next day I run north 2k and its everywhere and I can see bauxite in the side of a mountain. So much for my big run, I just needed to explore around me first. From then on I don't go further than 2k looking for resources until I've exhausted 2k in every direction. That's why I always advise people on discord to only go 2k in every direction.. yes it may be further but odds are it is closer than you think.

In my 1.15 world (my first long run after a half dozen burner worlds to learn the game), I accidently despawned a beehive about 200 blocks from home. Went on a search and finally found bees a mere 2,500 blocks away. The next year, with iron under my belt, I was cutting down some irksome pine trees less than 100 blocks from my home and wondered why I suddently had honeycomb in my inventory. grrrr... 1 1
Thorfinn Posted March 10, 2025 Report Posted March 10, 2025 (edited) I think maybe they've made bees a whole lot easier to find.If I spawn in the right kind of biome, I've often encountered one the first morning, and a handful by the end of day 2. Sound is a little bit wonky now. It just won't exist at all, then look in a slightly different direction and it's blasting my headphones off. With all kinds of stuff. Peat stacked above about 8 cubes high, or firewood or planks or anything. Look down and mostly away and there's nothing at all, look up at the top of the pile and it's loud. Face away from the apiary, there's a very faint buzz, turn around and you are looking for any way to make the buggers a lot quieter. Assuming wild bees have a different sound file than skeps, I think I will probably replace that OGG with a few seconds of silence. I have no need to hear my apiary from dozens of tiles away. I know where it is. Edited March 10, 2025 by Thorfinn 1
