I've had it happen many times. Usually logging out and back in will fix it, but if not then yeah come back later and the trader will be there.

I wonder how hard it would be. It snows and your game has to keep up with that. Updating tree textures by season seems very similar.

I think your equator to polar distance is way to small. If you use the default settings it's 100K I think if every square is 20K, so 5K just doesn't scale well for the program I would imagine. Try something larger like 25K, that way every 5K would be a climate region.

Wasn't a stab since they were way to far away for that. I had the fences 2 blocks tall so it was greater than 1.8. In your screen shot it looks like you are between two solid blocks with fence in the middle. I was standing behind a wall of fences. Maybe that's a difference? I'll have to try it again sometime.

I had to add myself manually to the "playerswhitelisted.json" file or turn off the white list and add myself by the console command then turn it back on. It was really stupid that I was blocked from joining my own personal server. { "PlayerUID": "ENTERIDHERE", "PlayerName": "ZaneMordien", "UntilDate": "2075-01-19T23:59:18.4396958+00:00", "Reason": null, "IssuedByPlayerName": "Console" },

I spear them to death as well. Even as a blackguard it is pretty easy once you get the hang of aiming. The video is interesting but I would muck it up if I tried to dance around in circles with them and end up dead.

See my Avatar! Lots of spears. It probably spawned up on top of a mountain and came down. Someone can post the spawn code, but I'm pretty sure it's related to the average temperature of the area and on top of the mountain it is low enough.

Walls definitely block projectiles. I hear them thump on the walls when I stick my head out and duct back inside.

I always have an axe, shears and a shovel on my hotbar when traveling on the elk. Getting stuck in the trees is very annoying if I don't keep these tools. The shovel is for the occasional 4 block high wall in my path.

The rattlesnake sounding crickets not enough?

Don't make Copper armor is my advice. I don't make armor typically until I get to iron, but I can usually get to iron before my leather is done. I wouldn't make anything less than bronze armor if I were you.

The bees work when the chunk is not loaded. I've gotten bees from 1k away from my base on several play throughs and I just set up the flower area, put down the skep and come back in 7 game days and the skep is populated.

I'm with you. I was so annoyed the first time I did the tower. I had my own rant post as well. The tower didn't load right and I didn't know that because I didn't watch any spoiler videos. I finally gave up and asked in discord for a spoiler and that's when I realized something was wrong. I had to reload the chunk and it deleted my elk of course. The lift bugged out and dropped me to my death about 3 times. It was very frustrating, but the game as a whole is great! The 2nd story location just needs some love. and fewer bears! Did I mention fewer bears?

I felt like it was 100% of the time through a fence. They blasted me when I tried to use fences to weed them out and block their line of sight. @Thorfinnhas posted this before from the code. I finally got a 100% drifter storm AFTER I set up my base for Bowtorns, which was very annoying since I wanted to test it out.

The map seed creates the same map every time for anyone. I use them all the time to help people on discord find stuff on their game. I cant tell you exactly how it works, but it isn't magic. The map generation uses that seed number in the calculations to generate everything so the same seed is the same map.

I use the elk mainly for the carry capacity as others have mentioned. It absorbs the fall damage which is sort of nice as well. The turning hasn't bothered me much, but I see your point.

It depends on which way the slab is turned. I forget which way is right but just play with it. I use the hud clock mod which tells you when the game registers it as a room. I suggest that at least while you try to figure it out.

After I finish the story chapters I will add some content mods since at that point I'm past survival and into thriving.

The drifters are actually inspired by Silent Hill according to Tyron.

Hud clock mod was my first and I always use it. I'm pretty minimalistic on mods in general after that.

Buy halite from a merchant is my advice, unless you want to find it just to say you found it. I'd suggest doing a Youtube search if you want to a decent tutorial on it. What you heard just sounds like drifters grumbling to me.

I set up for like 15-20 but probably end up with only 9-12 since I get tired of collecting the reeds. I didn't know crops count as flowers though. That is interesting. I end up with so much honey and wax that I can't use it even with that few skeps.

The hot starting location just gives you day/night vs the artic start and you can find wild rye and like i said a short growing windows in a greenhouse. There are moose and rarely a type of goat may spawn. As always plenty of polar bears. I don't know of any hot world mods myself. Amen to that. My first snowball world I had firepits everywhere for storage.

Tyron did say in an interview that they would at some point update animal reactions to be more realistic, but they would still be aggressive overall. I got the impression that meant bears and wolves wouldn't necessarily attack instantly but have some warning reactions first. But that is just my interpretation of what he said and its not implemented yet.

Similarly, Snow ball earth using the hot start is my go too. Having no storage until you find enough ruins for the bags or reeds is challenging. You get a very short growing season in a green house which is a fun challenge to get going fast enough to harvest. Then doing the story events with out leather to make the better armors offers a challenge. Maybe one of the hot start mods will make it interesting to go the other way.
