You have to have a decent distance from all other claims near you.

To show exactly where you can place your claim bring up your map and check the box called show claimable areas. You can drop you claim anywhere that isn't red.

I got some old rings/axes/picks in a chest at my claim, open to anyone. Serenity Valley, floating ship east of the spire. Can't miss it but you need a hook to get up there.

Heehee, last night my little brother got set-up and in (I'm really jealous of his dorm internet speeds now) so I stayed up a bit later than I planned just answering some of his questions over steam. After a moment of figurative silence, he cracks me up with one line:



Landmark in a nutshell. I'm amazed how excited I am to run around digging holes with my little brother.

So is "Goon Valley" just LumberingTroll's claim, or does one need to go elsewhere?

Do you still have these? If you do, I'd love one, I'm Paolia in-game.

Also, I'm pretty new to the game, and while I've crafted a claim flag and so forth, I've been having a hard time figuring out where to put one down. All the T4 islands have no space left near to the spire, and while it's not as bad on lower tier islands, I've been told that having a spot on a T4 island is the best way to go for now since that's where I'll end up doing most of my gathering. Does anyone have any advice about this? I'm inclined to think that being near to a spire is probably the most important thing, but I don't know if that holds as you continue to progress.

I was late to place a claim in the area but just going by claim names that I know belong to goons there is at least 4 goon claims in that valley but I would guess they might all actually be goons.

edit - not that anyone has built much yet. My claim is empty, I have just been getting my tools so far.

I'm downloading this now, I guess I'll go dick around in goon valley for a bit and then stake a claim tomorrow. Is there a concentration of goon claims that actually has space left, or are we just scattered?

I feel like I'm missing something here. Is there anyway to have the Delete tool set to a larger size or do I have to modify the size every time I want to do large removals? Making two plots relatively level is going to be really tedious at this rate.

You can use mousewheel to change it to a larger size, or if you are doing huge areas you can use the selection tool and hit the delete key.

If you don't have the selection tool yet, save yourself a headache and hours, and just don't do any large scale building of any kind until you have it.

This, so much. The select tool is the best thing ever, and the single reason why it's so hard to go back to minecraft after playing with landmark's tools for a bit.

Apparently it's a known issue that they are looking into. Until then, there's a workaround that some people have had work that involves pasting across the gap (same goes for deleting, pasting empty space deletes stuff).


I am having major issues with one aspect of my current claim. I have a large cylinder/tower type thing and I'm trying to attach another ring around it but no matter what I do, it distorts. I've tried attaching the two with microvoxels, tried building them together and then smoothing, tried pasting the ring around the cylinder.. this is the best I've managed to do and they both look like rear end.



For reference, these are the beams I ideally want to wrap around the tower.



So, anyone mastered this stuff well enough to know if there's a solution? I might just make the stupid tower square.

Leave a 1 voxel gap between the rings. Only thing I know that works and might not look good

itsnice2bnice
Mar 21, 2010

Sorry for the lovely MSPaint but the problem is that your cylinders are too similar in size:


Placing two voxels that are smoothed next to each other will make them want to interact, that's what the distortions are. If there's a plain non smoothed voxel in between them, then both of the cylindrical shapes will stay intact. Making the widest cylinder 2 or 4 voxels wider in diameter should work.

Got the pick last night, thanks! Now to see about making a select tool so I can try to do something with the hilariously lovely claim I made by mistake.

Edit: ^^^ apparently you can find tin veins out in the open on tier 2 worlds. You do trade in your copper problem for an iron problem, though, as iron is what mostly spawns on the surface in T2, with occasional sprinkles of tin nearby.

Tin was under copper in alpha; I've been having more luck since beta started finding it surface-level on T2 continents
