  1. Welcome to the community. I just started again today after completing grad school. Good times are ahead for you.
  2. Thanks for the offer. It’s winter season in my game and I’m more inclined to stay out of cold water during the freezing temperatures. Lol. My only option is to find copper in a cave or use the prospecting pick search function because copper is covered in snow at the surface level and you can’t see it due to the snow. The game is designed this way for realism which I truly appreciate. The devs must know some other method to find copper. I’ve not seen copper deposits in any caves at all nor have I found any using the pro pick. If you use the fly mode and check caves that way, you see no copper deposits. Copper is coded as only a surface deposit. If the devs have no alternative method of finding copper during the winter then the game is either broke or the game forces you to be well beyond using copper in the tech tree by the time the winter season arrives. I’ve stopped playing the game in March and won’t touch it until it’s fixed. I’m doing other things and hopefully this issue will be fixed by 2024 when I return. I do read the conversations in the forum periodically.
  3. @DX65, @Thorfinn, @Maelstrom: Thanks for the replies and I really appreciate your feedback. I've completely lost faith in the games ore search mechanic to provide a reliable method in finding copper during the winter season other than using visual observations at the surface given that copper is covered with snow. Using the pro pick was very interesting in testing although it fails in both Node and Density search modes for copper. Pro pick usage results provided me with data that strongly suggests that it’s very likely to be unreliable at finding other ores given that it can't even find basic copper deposits. I'm exhausted from searching for copper over the last 12 days [real life days] and I've decided to shelve the game until early 2024. I hope that the game mechanic using the pro pick is addressed and fixed by then. I'll definitely continue to support the game because I want to see it succeed. Someone mentioned that it could be a mod, however the only mod I'm using is the primitive survival mode for fishing and trapping animals. It has nothing to do with mining ores.
  4. Copper should be the easiest metal to find in the game. I thought it would be quicker using the prospecting pick rather than wandering the entire world looking for surface copper bits. I' I just passed the winter season where snow covered the ground making identifying surface copper extremely difficult. I've not seen or discovered copper in any caves that I've explored, and in fact when I used spectator mode to fly through caves to check, I see no copper either. Right now, I'm thinking this specific game mechanic with the pro-pick needs polished so that new players are not stuck in early game with no reliable method to find ore. I know higher tier ores were said to be more difficult to find as we progress, however copper should not be this difficult. The game Wiki does not address this problem nor give advice how to overcome it. I guess I'll go back to wandering the world like a zombie looking for copper bits again.
  5. @Ashery: I watched a YouTube video from the games Wiki page detail that Density Search Mode only scans the density map only, but not the actual ore deposited in the created world. It states that "it does not detect the actual presence of ore blocks; but detects the chance that ores are present." I used 14 prospecting picks using this methods and found no copper ore at all, not even a single nugget. Using this method over several real life days and many more ingame days. I abandoned using this method because it was non-reliable and only wasted my time. It granted me the fruit of having no success and a lesson well learned. LOL @DX65: I looked at it just now. My game settings the Surface Copper Deposit Frequency = Rare. Tin is set to Extremely Rare Thanks
  6. I'm using Node Search Mode with a radius of 4
  7. I'm using a copper prospecting pickaxe and finding no copper anywhere after randomly digging holes and surveying which shows no copper anywhere...yet. The Wiki shows no tips. I've consumed 14 prospecting axes in my search so far its exhausting. There must be an accurate method, but I've not found one yet. Do anyone find copper while exploring caves, in lake bottoms, etc ?
  8. I've received the below shown response when I try to look at the wiki page: Sorry! This site is experiencing technical difficulties. Try waiting a few minutes and reloading. (Cannot access the database) It's been like this for several days. Any ideas when it will be back online?
  9. Good day, I have true winters turned off and seasons disabled, however I am experiencing cold winter climate showing ice on lakes and ponds (see below pictures). Also, I see cold winds blowing and my view shows ice on my face and my character appears to be shivering. Is this the way its supposed to be with the settings I chose when creating my game? Thanks ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  10. Oh gosh, I had it backwards. It's working now. Thank you Streetwind !
  11. The game mechanic to fill a crock with food cooked in a pot is not working. I've followed the directions for filling the crock with a cooking pot using the 'show block interaction help' turned on. Does anyone else have this same issue? The game mechanic to fill a crock pot should not require a masters degree. I have two of them already. LOL. Thanks
  12. Are both of you using the same exact game client release version AND the same exact mod file versions on each computers at the same time? Your comment reads that you are upgrading a game modification file, then running it while your friend is not using or hasn't updated the same modification file on their computer. Both computers need to use identical game client versions and mod file versions to ensure compatibility problems are minimized during multiplayer or co-op games. Ensure that the game client version and the mod files version are identical on both computers first and see if that resolves the problem.
  13. How urgent do I need to find and start using copper and will I die during the winter if I don't find copper soon? Is it alright for me to stay in the flint age for an in-game year or two until I gain mastery of all the things I'm doing? I don't want want searching for copper to be my primary focus while playing the game, else it will turn into a burden and I'll lose interest. I'd like to play the game and enjoy it regardless if I find the rest of the 38 copper pieces or not.
  14. Has anyone had better luck panning for copper nuggets in the lakes and ponds versus searching for copper across the world? I've found 2 nuggets on the surface so far within the last 36 days. it could take me many weeks or months at this pace to get 18 more. Any suggestions?
