You are doing great work! I am glad you could enjoy life and glad too to hear that you male some progress on the game. love what you got so far!

You really seem to be very unlucky. Some days ago i walked just one ingame day south of my spawn region and found several other bioms containing limestone... I wish you good luck finding what you need soon. For me it always helps to look at the caves if there is this extra layer of limestone underneath the normal stone. Normaly you cant see it from above.

Actually i dont quite agree with you. I dont know if I was just lucky at my first playthrough but besides Halite (for salt) i found everything i needed quite fast. I think leatherworking isnt a early game thing to do and searching for a while to find chalk is ok. Of course you need to explore some caves not just the surface to do so.
