Don't lose your head over it.
I hope they are going to change Discovery so that it is useful while chopping trees. Heartwood and thistle seeds etc. are green so are not affected at the moment. Those seem to have a set number per tree. Breeze Bands or the +damage accessories are the way to go to chop trees faster.

Rare trees are not respawning properly. They are supposed to hotfix it with a patch later today. I got lucky and found enough for my cobalt pick on one of the Euro servers then gave up. I'll get the rest I need after the hotfix.

My guess it is not "respawning properly" and more of issue with tree density. With the Palm Hearts you have plenty of room to spawn the tiny plant for it in the jungle. The Desert is the same with their Thistle having plenty of spawning room. The Ancient tree on the other hand has to spawn in a high density area that is the ancient woods. The only thing people are looking for in that forest is that tree and after they cut it down the density might be slightly relived but you are not guaranteed a repop of the same tree.

I am unsure if tree placement is static or procedurally generated.

For what it's worth, I had an easier time finding the trees by looking out across ridges at the triangular outline they make with the sky instead of the bushy outline the regular trees make. Some people spot them easier with the graphic quality turned on low too if you're looking for any edge.

This is my first time to play during the last few days. How rare is it to craft a blue or legendary tool/item?

My client took a poo poo. When I enter the game it tells me the servers are offline and doesn't show buttons. A few more tries and it started skipping the character select and bringing up a blank screen with the normal ingame GUI and then bugs the gently caress out and crashes when I click things.

I tried scanning and repairing but got the same result.

Probably because the servers were down. They just came back up.

You can find tin at the very end of a copper vein. Same thing happens with silver which you can find at the end of an iron vein, gold at the end of a tungsten vein and rubicite at the end of a cobalt vein.

Someone on the official forums posted that there is a thistle seed cluster on N/NE trench. It's true. I spent hours trying to find thistle seed spots across multiple desert biomes and had no luck until I tried the spot on Trench.

In summary, if you need Thistle Seeds, go here:

Yes. I do. I have played maybe 100 hours total since paying $60 for it and I don't regret it at all. I also paid $30 for DayZ standalone and feel like that was a total waste of money.

If you like the building game concept there's pretty good chance you'll enjoy the execution here. No real technical problems or anything. And the game only has room to grow as they put in a lot other promised features.

You can also find standalone veins of the precious ore in the next tier zone, which I find less painful. Mine your tin while you mine your iron, don't go back and mine out a million copper veins (other than the fact that you need copper ore for upkeep)

For whatever reason my framerate tanks when hovering the axe over a tree (so it is highlighted by the orange border). It's completely fine outside of that.

Mine was doing that today while moving props (also with the orange outline). Was getting 0-2 fps before I restarted the client.

I go to the EU server (Satisfaction?) when I need trees. The only one that was hard to find was ancient rootstock and even then, it only took about 30 minutes to find 60ish. Just remember that when you go out for tree bits that you'll likely need double (+10 to be safe) for picks and axes.

I'm not sure the problem is so much that they are rare. The problem is they're not distinct. I didn't even realize I was harvesting one until I got the Ancient Rootstock. The pines are distinct because they're small and they look like pines. The thistle things are distinct because of the purple thorns. These have some pattern that is hard to see, especially in moonlight.

They're not that hard, the tops are arrowlike and the trunks are significantly darker than the trees around them. I can spot them from miles away, they're just not around.

I took some pubbie on the official forums' advice and hunted around til I found one, then did my best south american rancher impression and clearcut the jungle for about a 2 minute walk square. The diamond pines did respawn decently in the area after that, but still slow as hell

edit: Got bored, moved on to plan "C": Jump servers/zones until I found a quiet one. That seems to be the winner here, Liberation/Lavatube was a ghost town, got 90 rootstock in 45 minutes.

This post...

...is a
WORK OF FICTION!!



I checked in on things periodically during alpha, and just as I was getting my momentum going the marina wifi decided to get unreliable as all hell. Now it seems to be mostly in working order and the tundra biome is pretty sweet. I've got a couple real-life friends who have dibs on my founder codes, but once both of them are squared away I'll have the other two to share here.

I found a remote little corner of Confidence - Spine with a good enough mountain to build my observatory on, but the social/friendslist stuff went in after my play-drought started. Is my character name good enough for me to be findable or is it like cryptic's stuff where there's an account-wide handle?

Lastly, I haven't taken much in the way of screenshots, but what few I have I've got up in an imgur gallery.

I might be a retard, but how the gently caress do I claim in this game? There are no control options at all so I have no idea what different keys do. When I look at the map, all I see are either orange and blue flags which tells me absolutely nothing.

After you craft your claim flag item, activate it by right clicking on the icon in your inventory or drag the item to your hot bar and use the associated hotkey. You have to have a decent distance from all other claims near you.
