Replaying the game in 1.22 to learn the old and the new, my house burned down as a bear chased me. 10/10 I can't wait for this update. I'm going to throw hot metal stuff at my friends' feet as soon as I am able to.

I'd agree in single player, but new players joining multiplayer some time after server reset will find nothing near spawn. All the sticks, stones, and berries will be gone. Starving to death in the middle of a fruit tree grove protected by land claim really sucks. Early players are set for life, new players can't even begin to start playing and surviving.

I surmise densities of halite being over 20.00% would strongly indicate a salt dome, but I've only found 4.00%-6.00%. When I mine those, the amount is so insignificant by comparison. Like, a 3x5x6 blob at best. Why is there such a vast difference? One sets you for life, the other you could just buy from a trader in 15 minutes of travel. Just want the experience of finding a salt dome for the first time. I never need any amount of ore, crystal, or powder ever again as a result of 30 hours of searching and mining. Not a complete waste.
