Apparently after killing the last boss you get spawns from the last biome in Meadows at night. I didn't expect to have to murder ten of those guys on my leisurely stroll home, a while ago that would probably have made for a miserable corpse run. Edit: Unrelated but how the gently caress is this stable, I thought stone needs to rest on stone

Ambaire posted:Got my first "the ground is shaking" invasion. A single troll spawned on the far side of my moat and wandered around aimlessly while I arrowed it to death. A second one spawned, took a few shots, then fled. And then the invasion ended. Seems the walled moat is a great success. Yeah, building fortifications really pays off. Especially as you kill more and more bosses.

Vanadium posted:I suspect I will once we get there on my new server, but how is your deathsquito situation? Do they not aggro from outside the base the moment you poke your head over those walls? I honestly had quite a few deaths in the process of clearing & setting up the base solo, but I have workbenches along the fence and deathsquito aggro range isn't that far. You do get attacked very quickly after stepping outside the walls though.

I wish they had the map position setting when I was playing, every time someone logs on or visit another instance it's constantly "hey turn your marker on" And I do agree that Moder and Yagluth fights were kind of anticlimactic, dunno if I want to do them again though.

funny enough, a game can do absolutely nothing unique or new, but still combine mechanics and style into a package that just clicks For me it's the storms. They did an amazing job on the weather, and hunkering down in a safe house you built in the wilderness while a white-out blizzard rages around you or waves and lightning come crashing in is great

I know the first boss was pretty underwhelming given what I had been preparing for, but them deciding to buff up bosses instead of maybe flatten out difficulty spikes at say, swamp or plains doesn't fill me with hope that they'll give us options to customize our own experience ala Conan Exiles sliders or 7 Days to Die editing. That said, it's suddenly an extremely popular game so I'm sure mods will be plentiful.

The terrain deformation, very generous object collision for building parts, lots of freedom for snapping, rotating, and freely placing parts while still connecting to other parts, and parts small enough for detailing a building are all huge features for me and it’s fantastic that they’re all in one game. My only wish is for more half-size pieces and roof pieces.

Still love the game, but I'm very much getting the impression that it was designed and balanced around a group of two to five rather than a solo experience. Which is perfectly fine well and good but I'm hoping maybe down the line will get some sliders or an editable text document or something that lets us customize our experience. I know Conan's Exiles went from grindy survival to fun buildy romp after adjusting harvesting yields and mob damage (loving hyenas).

Interesting patch notes, I wonder what they actually changed with the bosses. I actually agree with them that they need to be a bit more difficult but I think that difficulty should come from improving their pathfinding and ai, not letting them get stuck, and adding an attack or two. I'm worried that they just increased numbers and called it a day.

Are there structures/ruins in swamps other than the crypts? I think I've seen towers or something in a swamp while sailing around the outside but I haven't taken a closer look yet.

I'd love a map that was just massive lakes and rivers and traveling quicker means navigating those because going around would take waaay longer. Or maybe two massive landmasses with rarer biomes being on islands or something.

I have the tiny biome thing in my world with black forest as well. There's a quadrant of my starting island with several spots that are just a single thing surrounded by meadow: a burial ground, a copper deposit, and a skeleton tower with some tin on the coast. The burial ground didn't even have any fir trees, the others had a dozen or so. It creeped me out early game, it was the first place I encountered the enemies and I was still in rags eating berries, led me to think black forest looked just like meadow forest. I have what seems like a pretty large starting island with tons of copper and tin but only found 10 cores in 2 burial grounds. Haven't found a single troll cave there.

I think it took me about 10 minutes to set up my server via lgsm, worst part was figuring out how to change the world file to the one I was importing.

I picked this up this week and have had a great time playing through it solo. Two days ago I killed the second boss then finished the night by crafting a bronze buckler to take with me to the next zone. Yesterday I made the leap into the iron age. This is my story of that first step into the iron age. Some mild swamp, ocean and bronze age building spoilers follow. I sailed the world on my Karve and found my first Swamp biome far far south of my previously charted land. Luckily, I spotted a Crypt just inside it from the boat. I set up a little shack with a bed, workbench and campfire on a little black forest island next to it, then ran out a bit further along the coast to an island in a nearby meadows zone to make my "SWAMP" portal in a place where it wouldn't ever get destroyed. I was having issues with my boat taking a little bit of damage, so I parked it away from the shore and built a series of 'lilly pads' from wooden beams with wooden floors on top to use as a Super Mario Jump course out to my boat. Then it was time to head into the swamp. The sprint along the coast into the crypt was pretty easy and I got off to a good start mining my way through the first crypt, with the exception of dying to a blob who AOE'd me through a tiny crack in the muddy scrap pile. I'm still traumatized by that. The rest of the crypt went pretty well and the next challenge became managing the pickaxe durability and weight of the iron I had found. I took a jaunt back through my portal to the homebase and came up with the plan of bringing the antler pickaxe so that I could easily repair it on-site (I hadn't brought any bronze on my journey to craft a forge in the swamp). I got back to the crypt and built a chest for iron just outside the door, and a little workbench with roof off the side wall of the crypt. During my building I noticed two more crypts off in the distance of the swamp and marked their location on the map. The next steps are pretty uneventful in text, but basically I spent the next couple hours clearing the crypts, loading up 4.5 full stacks of iron for my boat and character, transferring everything else through the portal home, dying and doing corpse runs...the usual viking life. Once I had my 4.5 stacks of iron, I made my final preparations and brought the boat over to the swamp for a few tense ore loading runs, then I was off! I could have sailed back the way I came, but in true Viking fashion I decided to sail up the uncharted coast of the island that seemed like it might have a water-route connection to my base area. It was great to be on the boat after so long mining crypts, but the 120 iron payload in the boat storage, combined with my decision to chart the new coast made the ride a bit tense. I was tacking (? I'm not a sailor) to make it up a headwind when I spotted a peculiar island off in the sea. I decided to explore it and collect some resources, but then it reared up and dropped me into the ocean with no stamina, leaving me to swim back to my boat and just catch the ladder at 1hp. I was pretty well over the adventure at that point and started bee-lining up the coast when suddenly I saw another kraken island . Greed got the best of me and I went back to repeat the process, only this time I was careful to manage my stamina and pathing and avoid nearly drowning. I had to make some tough decisions on throwing away resources so I could escape with the new goods, but eventually I got a stack of 20 chitin and set off again. Unfortunately it was shortly after that when I discovered that my hoped-for water route did not actually exist. At the narrowest point there was a long strip of black forest island that was keeping me from the water way that would lead back to my base. Further north the island curved out into a big mountainous land that would almost certainly require hours of sailing to get around, if it was even possible. Faced with the decision to go back, explore onwards or engineer a solution, I went with the third. I parked my boat, cleared out the mob spawners in the forest and got to work collecting some wood and building a chest to offload my boat materials. After transferring all the ore and other materials from the boat to the chest, I destroyed my boat and used the salvaged nails to build a cart. I transferred the loot over to the cart, salvaged the chest and made my way over across the narrow island to my old familiar waters. I reversed the cart>chest>salvage cart, build boat>load boat process then set back off for the final stretch. The last challenged appeared off the back of my boat--a sea serpent. I did my best to avoid it and fight back, but I quickly ran out of my meager supply of arrows. I did some tense dodging and took a few hard hits, but I eventually made it safely away from the threat. Finally I had made it back to my home base Riverdale. I pulled over the base cart to unload everything and crafted myself into the next age--I chose to make a level 2 iron mace, a full suit of iron armor, a pickaxe, a longboat and some base improvements. I'm still hanging on to the 20 chitin, wondering if I should make a dagger or save for the harpoon. About 5 hours after first setting sail, I was finally home and living in the new age. I think I'll settle down and do some cultivating, and maybe hunt down some bees nests before I load up my new, bigger boat and head back to the swamps for round two.
