Brandybuck Posted October 4, 2020 Report Posted October 4, 2020 A suggestion for single player mode: An option in the configuration to spawn in a doable/achievable location. Minecraft was bad at this if the goal was something other than checking out holes. I am finding the same thing with VS. In five different spawns to check out the game and figure out mechanics, I have never found any medium fertility soil. In one spawn I started in a map that was entirely slate gravel and hills. Another was marshy peat and bogs. It was cool looking, but having to travel an extraordinary distance from the spawn location to find a suitable location for an improvised homestead is a bit too much for me. How this could be done could vary. I know it is random and probably impossible to guarantee a "good" spawn. And of course a "good" spawn varies from player to player. Just my suggestion, because it was asked, no flames please. Also, sidenote, potions/poisons could be cool. Better healing options, or poisons to bump up weapon effectiveness.
junawood Posted October 4, 2020 Report Posted October 4, 2020 ? Eight worlds, and that never happened to me. In what radius were you looking for medium fertility soil or where the gravel ended, or what is "an extraordinary distance from the spawn location" for you?
Brandybuck Posted October 4, 2020 Author Report Posted October 4, 2020 I just want stuff within my map. As in my spawn point marker I set doesn't disappear from the map, without pinning it. Perhaps I'm just be unreasonable, and the point of the game is to suffer.
junawood Posted October 4, 2020 Report Posted October 4, 2020 You mean your spawn point marker not disappearing from your mini map, that shows maybe 100 blocks, if you don't change anything?
Brandybuck Posted October 5, 2020 Author Report Posted October 5, 2020 Why the grilling? I won't post anymore, I did not want to be judged. I just wanted a good starting position. Maybe this game is not for me.
junawood Posted October 5, 2020 Report Posted October 5, 2020 No grilling or judging, just asking, because I wasn't sure if I understood what you meant. Don't worry. Just try one of the worlds you started. You might get used to it and enjoy it a lot, even if the road is a bit bumpy at the start.
Sukotto82 Posted October 27, 2020 Report Posted October 27, 2020 I can't say with certainty what the OP was talking about but I had a similar issue I've only started 5 times too and only 1 of the 5 times did I find medium fertility soil without traveling over 1k blocks away from spawn. so far in fact that I got killed by some wolves and luckily I marked the medium soil on map right where I died but it was sooo far away that by time I got to it all my stuff had despawned where I died. maybe this could be fixed with something like the minecraft "graves" mod or something where your stuff is stored safely in a container and marked on map where you died automatically and never despawns no matter how long it takes you to get there. this is especially an issue if you don't know where you died. i started over a couple times because of dying and not being able to find where I was but in this specific sitution I was actually marking the medium fertility soil on the map as I got attacked by the wolves and died before i had time to do anything to fight back but I did manage to save the marker and so I know I went to where I died but again it was so far away everything despawned by time I got back to the marker. I had to cross a tiny ocean despite ocean biomes reportidly not being in the game yet.
