Hovdavic Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 That's all I need to start working with the stack of meteoric iron ingots I have ready to go. It's frustrating. But... I just want to say that the diversity between different play-throughs in this game is incredible. I have now made it to iron (and more recently, steel) in more than 10 worlds. And while I have loved it when I have found all I needed within a 1000 blocks of my home, I have also become bored more quickly in those worlds. The world I am in right now is a fun one. But I have not been able to find Borax or Bauxite - two key components for working with the better metals. This has forced me to explore this world, and I am loving what I am discovering (I just found some crazy pit ruin that had a little pond with boney soil for its bottom, and a small treasure chest in the corner of the room, for example) There is SO much to see in this game, not to mention the back story being revealed as you go along So even though, at the moment I feel a little frustrated at not having found what I need yet, I am actually really enjoying the process. Maybe THIS propick sample with say Borax... Maybe on the other side of those mountains I will find Bauxite... I may change my tune if this goes on for 100 hours of game time, but for now I am loving it, anticipating that moment when I can say FINALLY I found what I need... But I'd be lying if I told you I don't sometimes under my breath curse the developers for requiring that flux to weld the iron anvil together. Good work, and keep the goods comin'! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junawood Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 I normally simply find borax while exploring caves or looking at stones laying around, and a lot more than I need. But of course you need the right type of stone in the area, so sandstone, shale, chert and some others are what you should be looking for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 (edited) 4 часа назад Пол Ховда сказал: Это все, что мне нужно, чтобы начать работу со стопкой слитков метеоритного железа, которая у меня есть. Это расстраивает. Но ... Я просто хочу сказать, что разнообразие прохождения в этой игре невероятно. Сейчас я сделал это железо (а в последнее время и сталь) более чем в 10 мирах. И хотя мне понравилось, когда я нашел все, что мне было нужно, в пределах 1000 кварталов от моего дома, мне также быстро стало скучно в этих мирах. Мир, в котором я сейчас нахожусь, веселый. Но мне не удалось найти бура или боксит - два ключевых компонента для работы с лучшими металлами.Это заставило меня исследовать этот мир, и мне нравится то, что я открываю (я только что нашел какие-то сумасшедшие руины ямы, в которых был небольшой пруд с костяной почвой на дне и небольшой сундук с сокровищами в кабинетах, потому что Пример) В этой игре есть на что посмотреть, не говоря уже о предыстории, раскрываемой по мере вашего продвижения. в настоящий момент я немного разочарован тем, что мне действительно нужно, я действительно наслаждаюсь процессом. Может быть, ЭТО образец пропика с, скажем, Бораксом ... Может быть, на другой стороне этих гор я найду боксит ... Я могу изменить свою мелодию, если это будет продолжаться в течение 100 часов игрового времени, но сейчас мне это нравится Я с нетерпением жду тот момент, когда я могу сказать НАКОНЕЦ, я нашел то, что мне нужно ... Но я бы солгал, если бы сказал вам, что иногда не проклинаю разработчиков за то, что они требовали, чтобы этот флюс сварил железную наковальню вместе. Хорошая работа, и сохраняйте товар! Если вы установите генерацию руды и ее распределение намного выше стандартного при создании мира, есть шанс, что вы не найдете буры.

This is good to know. I have not adjusted the ore distribution from the default for this particular world, but it's good to know this for future worlds when setting the world parameters. Спасибо.

So you need sedimentary rock for borax to spawn? I actually am in a space with chert as it's surface rock, and lots of sandstone nearby. I'll just keep looking... Does the propick detect borax?

junawood Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 You can look up the rock types in the handbook. I found a lot of borax in sandstone, so I'm sure you'll find some soon. Not sure about the propick, I haven't used and needed it since....1.13 maybe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Streetwind Posted January 14, 2021 Report Share Posted January 14, 2021 Yes, it does detect borax. But you can also find borax as bits in surface rocks, just like copper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hovdavic Posted January 15, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2021 This is all helpful info. Thanks. I have easily found borax in about half of my worlds, but in the other half it has been more illusive. I think that's why I love this game so much, you never know what resources you are going to easily obtain, and so you have to improvise with what you have until you discover something else you need and can incorporate it into your game.

Jeremy McArthur Posted January 28, 2021 Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 People talk about the “back story” but I have found zero in game lore. I think they recently released tapestries or something? But I have so many questions about this world and no answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hovdavic Posted January 28, 2021 Author Report Share Posted January 28, 2021 I have found a couple of books in underground ruins, but I have found A LOT of books by panning boney soil. It can be a bit grindy (standing in water panning literally all night) but you get other cool and useful stuff as well. Frankly, the search for more of the story has kept me engaged in a world I have nearly 120 hours poured into. And finding a book feels like such a rush. I'm glad there isn't a ton of information outside of the game on the backstory, to make me discover it while playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy McArthur Posted January 29, 2021 Report Share Posted January 29, 2021 Yes i'm all about the mystery and I thank you 2 for not spoiling anything. Im even fine with it being rare as it makes it that much more special like you said. I just hope by the time 1.0 comes out there is a good system for steering you towards putting the story together. Also I had no idea you could pan the bony soil! To bad its all gone from around me haha, down side to public servers. Oh well.... the hunt continues. Thanks gents. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
