Ultric Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 So I just started this game about a week ago and am still in the process of slogging through what feels like the beginning of the copper age. A thought occurred to me as I was sifting through my 400th block of sand to reach the halfway point on my anvil: What's waiting for me as the game goes on? So far, I've had a temporal storm happen (an event I was looking forward to despite the likelihood of it bringing additional hardships) and, while I really liked the effect it had on the landscape and the world, I was rather disappointed to just see a few new variants of drifter pop up. Truth be told, I had been expecting a bit more fog and glimpses at something bigger in the distance, something to that effect. Alas, it was but my first storm, a "light" one at that, so I figured I should pop on here and see if the more long-term fanbase can provide me with an idea as to what I can look forward to (preferably while being a bit vague if it does get more intense).

Ari Posted September 17, 2021 Report Share Posted September 17, 2021 At the moment the temporal storms, the more difficult enemies deeper underground, temporal instability (the green gear at the bottom of the screen which goes up or down depending on the "temporal stability" in your area - if it gets too low, you start to get visual effects and more enemies spawning), and the lore you can find in journals are just about it for the "Lovecraftian" side of things. Temporal storms are mostly just a hassle at the moment without any real benefit (and a lot of players disable or sleep through them), but I believe there are plans to add more to that aspect of the game in the future. There are heavier storms, but they just have stronger visual effects and harder enemies. For now the majority of the game is a pretty standard survival sandbox.

The manual mentions it, but it's easy to overlook. Unless you just like sifting blocks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went looking for it, and couldn't find it in any of the guides. It's on the item page for Copper Nuggets at the very bottom: "Your first copper nuggets will probably be found lying on the surface as you explore. When you find these nuggets, mark the location on your map; there is more copper ore in the stone below!" That line should probably be included in the progression guide for early copper age. :shrug: EDIT: I should mention that I didn't notice it at first, either. I posted a question on this very forum asking if surface stones indicated deposits in the stone below.

I'll admit it is hilarious watching a spear corkscrew through the air when heaved at a far off drifter during a heavy temporal storm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
l33tmaan Posted September 30, 2021 Report Share Posted September 30, 2021 I LOVE the temporal storm visuals, as basic as they are. Makes me wish there were larger ruins I could explore while in such a delirious state. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maelstrom Posted October 1, 2021 Report Share Posted October 1, 2021 Unfortunately, that's about the only thing enjoyable about them at this time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
