It's running like poo poo but I find some of the stuff like the amazing looking bendy trees and the super deep building system really rad. I can't imagine when they put the underworld in.

edit: I had a background program hogging a ton of memory. Works fine now.

Having just jumped on this during the downtime, I've hopped on and am a bit lost. Are there factors other than nearby claims that affect where you can lay a claim? I'm not able to use my settler's flag and I can't tell if it's because I'm an idiot or if something's wrong.

Edit: Oh, I'm suspecting that settlement flags and claim flags are different things. I got confused by reading somewhere else that everyone starts with a claim flag.

Yeah, the Settler's flag is just a decorative prop you can use once you have a claim. Initially in Alpha everyone started with a claim flag as well, but now you have to make them.

Correct. You have to make the claim flag with the recipe above, at one of the machines at the spire. You don't start with one.

I've got a spot on a mountain on Adventure - Sound near the spire.

I moved to adventure/terrace, if anyone plans to hang out there. I thought a tier 4 tropical/tundra was a cool place so threw down a claim close to the spires.

I just got my claim flag, and decided to build here. There wasn't exactly any *ideal* spots left, but it also wasn't down to the total crap spots yet either, so I have a fairly decent place, but its a little walk from the spire. Decided it was better to grab an ok spot, then to jump around to different servers and risk finding a better one but losing out on an ok one.


edit: Actually I'm not as far from the spire as I thought, pretty happy with this spot. Still lots of space on this island if anyone is looking for a claim.

Also, I noticed when I created my claim it said the upkeep was "300" is upkeep finally in the game, and if it is, what kind of money does that come out of?

It's copper ore for now, though that will change when there's an in game currency.

Don't lose your head over it.
In as Aorn with a claim on Adventure - Oxbow.

Tip for new people: veins are a lot easier to see in the desert biome, especially iron which looks very similar to stone in other biomes.

http://landmark.wikia.com/wiki/Mining_Guide has screenshots of all the materials from last phase, but the other stuff has not been updated for the beta yet.

thanks, I wasn't planning on playing again until I got home (it only runs about 20fps on low on my surface pro2, plus the internet is poo poo here), so I would have lost my claim tomorrow! I've got it prepaid now for 5 days.. *whew*

I'm disappointed that this is grindier than mine craft. The amount of resources needed for crafting and building is truly prodigious due to how long it takes to gather materials. Landscape deformation is pretty amazing, but I'm not sure its worth my high end rig chugging at 20-30fps. Any idea if they will add water?

Water is not yet fully implemented in the underlying engine, but supposedly will be very soon. They intend to add it as soon as the engine supports it.

I put down a claim flag, but decided I wanted to change spots. I didn't get my credits back while doing so, and tried mining copper, but It just doesn't work.

Another tip: If you're having trouble finding a specific material I find it always helps to go stand on a mountain and look at an adjacent mountain. You can usually see all of the nodes on the other mountain.

I feel bad for anyone who doesn't have a founder's pick or a friend with a founder's pick. I had claims for my buddies (CLAIMS ARENT TRADEABLE) in a short time, but if we had to wait for them to get a copper pick, ugh.

It was a bit of a grind but I did get a copper pick yesterday. Some grind is okay as long as it's just for bootstrapping something non-grindy. But when you do nothing but click to "level up" and the only difference once you "level up" is the color of the thing you're clicking on, I do not like that. That's lazy game design.

That being said I assume that just applies to resource gathering in this game and I'm still interested in seeing what others have made.

Yeah, I think SOE should have waited with going into Beta until they had more interesting worlds with caves and tunnels to explore and mobs to fight. Here's some tips to help enjoy the game as it is for people who haven't played before:

1. Craft a Keen-Eye Band as soon as possible, it's an accessory you can make at the sawmill thingy at the spire. Equipping this gives you a bonus to your discovery stat which will help you get additional rare elemental forms of ore. Elemental ores are random drops you get from mining ore and they're required for crafting tools, items and crafting stations.

2. Certain types of ore are found at the end of another ore's veins. Tin can be found at the end of a copper vein. Silver at the end of an iron vein. Gold at the end of a tungsten vein. Rubicite at the end of a cobalt vein. Resources are divided into different tiers and each world / island corresponds to a different tier. I think everyone always starts on a tier 1 island. If you need silver or iron and can't find some you'll have to move to a higher tier island by using the portal.

3. Craft a claim flag and plop it down somewhere. :siren: You don't need to make all the crafting stations yourself, in fact I'd recommend to save yourself the time and effort and just use the high tier crafting stations that someone else grinded to get. :siren: Having said that, if you really can't find someone else who made an outfitter's station you should make one yourself since it allows you to create some additional accessoires to further increase your discovery stat.

4. Building stuff is 99% of the fun that's currently to be had in Landmark. There are some basic shapes you can use to build stuff with here:



The Selection tool is pretty much a requirement to build stuff, but the Line and Smooth tool not so much IMO. Just switch between gathering resources for a bit and building stuff until you have enough stuff to unlock the Line and Smooth tool.
